The story of myrrh is as old as that of perfume. Four thousand years ago the Egyptians were using it as one of the components of Kyphi, the sacred incense of their Kings.
Warm and sensual, balmy and ambery Myrrhiad is an oriental perfume revealing all the facets of the ancient resin, enhanced by the leathery, animalic nuance of black tea absolute and interlaced with a cocktail of vanilla and licorice.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Myrrhiad suits close, low-lit settings where its resinous warmth can unfold without rush. It feels intimate rather than loud, leaving a trail of dark sweetness and dry tea-leather texture that reads as composed, sensual and slightly mysterious.
How to wear
Best in cool weather, especially autumn and winter, where its balsamic depth can bloom on skin. Apply lightly at first: one to three sprays are enough for a rich, enveloping effect, since the tea, myrrh and vanilla accord can feel dense and long-lasting in warm air.
Who it’s for
For those who like oriental fragrances with resin, tea and vanilla, and who enjoy a scent that feels edible, leathery and a little smoky. It will appeal to wearers drawn to dark sweetness, antique materials and unisex compositions with depth.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is the founder and nose behind his eponymous house, known for a contemporary, inventive style that often builds fragrances as compact “olfactory photographs” rather than classic pyramids. His work tends to blend naturalistic materials with a polished, modern structure, giving his compositions clarity, texture and strong wearability. He launched his first perfume, Cozé, at 25 and later established Pierre Guillaume Paris, where he has remained closely involved in both creative direction and production. In Myrrhiad, his interest in resin, contrast and tactile materials is especially clear: the fragrance pairs ancient myrrh with black tea, vanilla and licorice to create a dense, sensual oriental accord.
Pierre Guillaume Black Collection’s story
Pierre Guillaume Paris is an independent house built around creative freedom, modern composition and a poetic approach to materials. Its fragrances are designed as distinctive, wearable studies in texture and atmosphere, often using unusual pairings and the brand’s idea of “olfactory photographs” to capture a mood rather than follow convention.
Myrrhiad’s concept
Myrrhiad is dedicated to myrrh, one of perfumery’s oldest resins, evoking its use in ancient Egyptian Kyphi incense. The composition frames that historical material in a darker, more tactile way, with black tea adding a leathery, animalic edge and vanilla and licorice softening the resin into a warm, ambery oriental.
