I was finally able to convinced the salesperson to open one yesterday and let me smell/buy early. For me it was too much like Ebene Fume to spend the money. Instead I went to MFK for the Oud Satin Mood; extrait - your other videos turned me on to that fragrance house!
A surprisingly cold, dark, wet summer day in Poland and I spritzed on an old friend, Geo. Beene Grey Flannel, that wonderful, character-rich "cheapie," and it's just wafting around me, giving me intrigue, ambience and, yes, dare I say mystery all day long, and somehow I think I'm getting tons more value for money than Tom Ford MM could ever approach. I got a real kick out of this video, I hope you won't mind me saying, because your face telegraphed right from the start, "This one ain't gonna be a wow, folks...."
One of our clients wears Grey Flannel, it smells so good! There's alot to be said for "older" fragrances! I found an original bottle of Euphoria, Eternity and Paloma Picasso in my closet, never opened. I'm enjoying them lately! Paloma Picasso will never smell as good as this bottle!
Appreciate your honest review, Sebastian! I’m not a fan of the overall direction of Tom Ford under Estée Lauder so far, which is a shame. This will be a pass for me. At this price point, the fragrance should be perfect!
morganylong5555-Thank you for pointing this out. I hadn't realized that Lauder produced fragrances for Tom Ford since 2006 under a license agreement until you mentioned it 🤔
@@lanadelfag123I think she maybe meant since Estée Lauder was the sole owner of Tom Ford brand and all its intellectual property which was pretty recent.
I’m really happy that myrrh is having a moment. I love resinous notes. I will definitely give this one a try as Le Labo Myrrhe 55 was a bit of a let down for me
It happened to me that a fragrance that some say it doesn't last, on my skin lasts all day, in special citrus fragrances, sadly citruses are not my favorite notes, and some woody heavier fragrances last 2-4 hours, so go figure, every skin is different. I was very excited about this one, I will try it, the prices are crazy, if I like it I'll wait until it hit discounters or I find a reasonable deal. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
When I hear Coca Cola/church I instantly think of Full Incense from Montale which I like a lot. Thanks for taking the hit on such an expensive fragrance and the great review
I have heard they are looking for a way to build the atomizer into the decanter package the same way Kilian does. (Also Estee Lauder...) I wish they'd figure it out, though. I heard they are also going to keep custom colored travel atomizers to match the releases. For the prices they're charging for decanters these days they should include already filled travel custom atomizers.
this will be one for men i think or certain woman but not me. Very interesting you mention this when i spray right after the shower perfume always smells worse on me then when i wake up in the morning.
Looking forward to that myrrh video. Love the smell of myrrh, both burned, and also when droping it onto boiling water. The latter smells wonderful! To me like a cocacola gelatin, something along those lines, simply beautiful smell.
Please help me on my researchings: 1)What's your favorite myrrh fragrance? 2)What's the most accurate pure one note myrrh frag? (Besides buying actual myrrh) 3)What's the most beast mode myrrh frag? All opinions welcome thanks in advance ✌️
Oooohhh Myyrhe Mysterre...It's Mysterious! Right down to how you procured it and why it costs so d@mn much! LoL...I happen to love Myrrh. I am excited about these releases with the note BUT, I will never own this one- So, I will live vicariously through you Sebastian. xoxox
Ok I literally spit out my coffee at the price ... I know it is unpopular on here but I will wait for the Middle Eastern Clone for probably about $40 (should take about a month or two) .. sorry it is either that or quite frankly I will not get it. Hmmm did AI create this fragrance???
Hey Sebastian, TF online UK now have this half price for the 250ml and you get the swanky clutch atomiser free. £342.50 instead of £685.I’ve had to take a chance and I think it’s a really nice fragrance, I get a bit of a Tobacco Vanille vibe. Soleil Brulant is half price too which makes that more appealing as well!
They lost me after "Lost Cherry." The only Tom Ford I see getting is the " Black Orchid Toilette." Memo Paris has taken over for me. African Leather reminds me of the Tom Ford of old. I miss him.
Any thoughts on when did the golden age of Tom Ford private blend fragrances ended (if you think it ever did!)? I'll be controversial and say 2013 with Tobacco Oud, Oud Fleur, Plum Japonais etc, although they do of course still have occasional hits to this day.
Yeah - it's my favourite! In the UK and it is still available here (even on the TF website) but the SA in Fenwick did say it had been discontinued (no stock there) - perhaps places are running down stock (was discounted in TK/TJ Maxx). Can't see it working in the signature line, so will try to get a back-up bottle!
I have just picked up Hugo Boss Bottled Elixir, and it's such a unique fragrance. Honestly, how you describe this Tom Ford sounds like how i would describe Boss Elixir! Definitely check it out when you can Sebastian 👍
@ThePerfumeGuy I'm in the UK and i got it online from the Perfume Shop, none of the other online retailers had it yet. I'm not sure about availability in USA, it should be dropping there anytime though i reckon 👌
I would certainly enjoy this fragrance which is perfect for this time of year, but it does sound like it could do with a few additional notes to enhance the experience
Tragic that FM is compromised. These Tom Fords are still appealing in their bottles and labels- almost addictive but the scent itself usually disappoints.
Eeek! You startled me with that explosion! 😱😆 It sounds interesting. I love myrrh. I’ve even used a myrrh toothpaste in the past. On its own, myrrh is pretty subtle. I wouldn’t expect it to be beastly, and keep its myrrh quality. I do prefer to go on a journey with my perfumes, but I’ve also enjoyed some that are more linear because it was a great smell, and I didn’t get bored with it. If they used a good amount of natural myrrh as well, I wonder if the scent will become richer over time? I definitely would like to try it. I’ll be looking forward to seeing your myrrh video. 😊
Speaking of incense, yesterday I had to speak in a church on a dark-ish, cool-ish, damp-ish Sunday, and in an underlit interior, and on very ancient mysterious things, and as I sniffed my various fragrances, both FBs and samples, for something that fit the mood and the moment, I sniffed Etat Libre d'Orange 500 Years and...WOW...it was everything the whole morning felt like to me. To me 500 years is like Tauer Rose Incense with ramped-up musty, mysterious, cavernous darkness.
I bought a tiny sample of this and tried it on and I do like it very much. But I agree that it is a one dimensional fragrance and is not strong enough. I could only smell it when I put my arm to my nose. To me it was very interesting, but I haven’t smelled as many fragrances as you have. I’m just a newby. :D
I have Encens suave , and that is benzoin but it’s different from Encens suave but it’s familiar with the resinous almost Smokey, I really want this one also but like it’s expensive af
It's great that you illuminate just how nuanced and subjective projection really is when it comes to fragrance. That's why I'm with you about avoiding the discussion because it can cause such a commotion. 👍 Anyhow, Myrrhe Mystere sounds pleasant, if not entirely groundbreaking.
You can always tell whether Sebastian likes a fragrance from the video image and the way he begins the video... 😜, for that price, no thanks. Thanks for the review.
Its kind of the age of perfumery in 2023..so many average fragrances and the salespeople talking about the price increases . I went to saks in nyc and maybe a few from initio i liked but everything they are pushing is so average. The brands are definitely out there exploiting fragcom knowing people want to cpmpete to show off their collections.
Myrrhe Mystere's spiciness reminded me of Heaven Can Wait, although MM was more potent and projecting, and again lasted quite a long time (sorry). It's just too robust for me this time of year. I'd like to give it a spin when it's colder. To compare, I wear perfume daily, I love resinous, amber (labdanum/benzoin/vanilla/patchouli, spicy perfumes. I do struggle with perfumes with more than the smallest touch of Ambroxan, Cetalox, Norlimbanol, etc. They tend to amplify on my skin. Wearing Barkhane by Teo Cabanel today...
The Tom Ford brand just feels insincere to me now. That exclusivity and pioneering feels to have been replaced with unjustified prices, still hanging on the coat tail reputation of the man long gone.
Just curious what other perfumes smell close to this one. I tried it today at the mall and I really like it, but the price is just not as appealing as the smell lol
I haven't found anything that comes really close but maybe something in my Myrrh fragrances video might excite you to check out? th-cam.com/video/3iPOKvPul7A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XIP_twEdLKWmnSxS
With Tom Ford now retired from fashion/beauty & concentrating on film again i wonder if Peter Hawkings, the new creative director, will shake things up & take things in his own direction & make things more interesting.

Looking forward for myrrh list.
My first thought when someone mention it is Myrrh & Tonka from Jo Malone.
Oh yes!
That one smells really good. Look lasting!

Myrrh is definitely having a moment. I've enjoyed the few fragrances I've tried with this note. So I'm looking forward to trying this one.
That price is 😰😵💫😮💨 I’m going to need the smallest size then but I love Myrrh so I can’t wait to try this, and yes please do a Myrrh video 💞
I’m really happy that myrrh is having a moment. I love resinous notes. I will definitely give this one a try as Le Labo Myrrhe 55 was a bit of a let down for me
I liked the Le Labo but I can see it being a letdown as it's not quite a myrrh fragrance! :)
This is def more myrrh! I like that more myrrh! LOL!
Me too! Myrrh is one of my favorite notes
Have you tried Myrrh Imperial by Armani? I thought that was quite nice.
Yes please.....a Myrrh focused video ❤🤎❤️
Love myrrh. Used to burn small pieces of the pure resin in my apartment. Unfortunately, it is very expensive.
Good to know!

This is my favorite fragrance. I am obsessed with it
Me too 😂l layer with Ebene Fume 😋
One of their best right now. If a good clone comes out, I’m jumping on it
OMG this and Ebene are Amazing ... I have Ebene and they give me 5ml of Myrrhe way more easy to like.
I’m female and absolutely love the smell of pure myrrh essential oil- cooling, minty,resinous, and leathery. Anything on the market like that?
When I hear Coca Cola/church I instantly think of Full Incense from Montale which I like a lot. Thanks for taking the hit on such an expensive fragrance and the great review
Full Incense is the real deal if you want _incense._
I get frankincense, myrrh & sandalwood with a cedar drydown.
I'll always have it.

Wow Myrrh is truly having a moment, even Beyonce has it as a base note in her new fragrance, interesting!
I saw that Beyonce he this note in her description as well!
And in my Opinion Beyonce is everything CLASS. So I’m sure it’s goin to be amazing

Le Labo was such a disappointment. It is more floral as you said. Heavy white floral notes, you really have to look for the myrrh. So upsetting.
😂😂Sebastian the explosion clip got me!! Really want to smell this and see how it compares to the Myhrr from Dries Van Noten!
I would certainly enjoy this fragrance which is perfect for this time of year, but it does sound like it could do with a few additional notes to enhance the experience

I do lot like church smelling fragrances so I doubt I would like this. I love the bottle color though! I think it’s great for your collection 👍🏼
What else could estée Lauder could do to Tom Ford!!! No atomizer...🎉🎉🎉
It's kind of wild to spend so much money on a perfume with no good way to spray it.
Right?!!! 😡
1300 dollars for no atomizer, joke. Same as Apple did with the newer iphones. No headphones at first, then no charger. What’s next? No phone?
What?!
Wow! Pretty soon they will despensing their fragrances out of a water cooler & we will have to bring our own bottles 🤣
Myrrhe tonka de Joe malone est très bon.
Tom ford is high but I love tom ford good quality. Do you recommend it does it smell good
I wonder if you’ll be reviewing Kilian’s Skoking Hot soon… I’m tempted to blind buy the travel stray because it sounds so appealing.
I want a fragrance with Chrism as the base.
Used to own serge lutens Myhhre, sold it. Just own Huitimes arts (parfumerie generale spinoff line) myrrhiade which I really enjoy

I don't have it but sounds great. I will shoot a Myrrh video but I won't have that featured in it sadly.
Looking forward to see your review on the new creed red bottle fragrance.

Would you say this fragrance is similar to Myrrh & Tonka by Jo Malone?
It’s not! I blind bought Jo Malone it’s nothing alike
Azure Lime is in route. Not high hopes but we will see.
How does it compare to the discontinued armani myrrhe imperiale? I used to be in love with that one!
Let's just say I prefer the Armani. They aren't the same except they share a similar note of Myrrh! :)

compared to Myrrh & Tonka by Jo Malone London?, what color is the bottle? (I'm color blind)
Also probably sweetness coming from the ultra vanil and Ethyl maltol which is used in pretty much every TF amber accord
Myrrhe Mystere's spiciness reminded me of Heaven Can Wait, although MM was more potent and projecting, and again lasted quite a long time (sorry). It's just too robust for me this time of year.

Wearing Barkhane by Teo Cabanel today...
🤔…hmm, I wonder how this compares with Gold Myrrh Absolute by Carolina Herrera?
Sadly haven't tested that one.
Great job Sebastian
Great review 👏 Thanks so much 😊
Straight myrrh smells a lot like many synthetic leather accords, so I'd be interested to see how this differs from Tuscan Leather and Ombré Leather
I would love a video on your top 10 that project and last longer than 6-7 hours.
Can still smell it after 2 days. My #1 in the shop list.
This one sounds good but that price 🤯 like you said professor WTF...🤯🤣🤷🏻♂️
How does this compare to Myrrhe Delires from Guerlain?
The Tom Ford brand just feels insincere to me now. That exclusivity and pioneering feels to have been replaced with unjustified prices, still hanging on the coat tail reputation of the man long gone.
Would you say this is better than jo Malone tonka bean and myhhre?
I enjoyed the review, thank you but on another note, what are your top three books on perfumery?
What does tom ford use for their travel size sprays, do they not have atomizers now?
I believe the perfumer who created Myrrhe Mystere is Rodrigo Flores-Roux
Definitely Givaudan if he is the perfumer.
Just curious what other perfumes smell close to this one. I tried it today at the mall and I really like it, but the price is just not as appealing as the smell lol

Oud, Myrrh, Incense
Can’t find you myrrh video
Doesn’t sound like Myrrhe Mystere has much mystery in it ! I guess ‘Raunchy Root-beer’ wasn’t a classy enough name 😅
Is it at all like interlude man?
OMG 1,300!! Must be amazing.
