Why spicy, woody perfumes are everywhere this autumn

This year, Le Labo welcomes a new destination to its City Exclusives collection. Honouring the heat and the history of Shanghai, Myrrhe 55 is centered around the sticky, spicy aroma of the sacred resin used widely in traditional Chinese medicine.

The liquorice sweetness of the central myrrh is intensified by supporting jasmine and patchouli, with a subdued hint of oud and musk in the dry-down. Warming and animalic, it’s a strangely comforting blend for crisp autumn days. If you’re a fan of the brand’s cult Thé Noir, you’ll love this.

While Le Labo’s City Exclusives are usually only available in their city of origin, for the month of September you can purchase the whole family online.
