EarthyWhat does Colonia Mirra smell like?
It opens fresh and citrusy with lemon, petitgrain and mandarin orange. At the heart, nutmeg, orange blossom and myrrh bring spice and sweetness. The base settles into a woody, slightly smoky warmth of patchouli and myrrh.
Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Most pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and its use is spread evenly across leisure, evening and office. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Shanaan and Bois de Turquie have a close profile.
