4 Perfumes Similar to Myrrh and Tonka

Jo Malone’s Myrrh and Tonka has become insanely popular since its release. It’s one of those fragrances that has just caught on, through social media and word of mouth. But, with that Jo Malone style, you also get the higher price point. So, I am going to use this page to keep an update list of  the perfumes that I find that have a similar style to, a cheaper price, or have a smell that was inspired by Myrrh and Tonka.

What Perfumes Smell like Myrrh and Tonka by Jo Malone London?

Delightful Inspiration

Myrrhnilla Delight by The Dua Brand– This is the Dua Brand’s inspired take on the Jo Malone formula. If you’re looking for one that comes very close to matching the aroma of the original, this is a perfume to check out.

As Dua puts it, “Myrrh and tonka inevitably mark the smell of this fragrance while accents of lavender and almond provide their aromatic and spicy charm to the blend.”

The formula is pretty simple, so, matching it isn’t too much of a problem. You can usually expect them to get it at least 85% of the way to the original, if not more. With my experience with this brand, it can sometimes lack a bit of the depth, but the opening and middle act is pretty spot on.

As of now they have the full bottle size and the smaller 10 ml travel sprayer available.

High-End Inspiration

Mr. Sillage by Alexandria– This is another one that is ‘inspired by’ the Jo Malone perfume. Though, it is on the pricier side versus the Dua above. Almost to the point, where it’d make sense just to by Myrrh & Tonka instead.

But, Alexandria does produces some great versions of popular perfumes. I haven’t tested this one out in particular, though, I haven’t had any negative experiences with them either.

Again, in this case, I might go with one of the other two ‘inspired by’ fragrances on the list. Though, I’ll leave it here for those who are curious.

Layered Tonka

Mia’s Blend by Be Layered– Be Layered’s Mia’s Blend is another popular choice for those looking for a close interpretation of Myrrh & Tonka.

I haven’t tried this one out, but it’s affordable and the reviews are generally very positive. It seems like the tonka bean goes pretty heavy early on. Sweeter and powdery. Then, the dry down supposedly gives you more of the resinous aspects of myrrh.

They do have a smaller 10 ml size available for $19.99 (as of update), which can make it an easy one to try out.

Soft and Sweet Vanilla

Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto Eau de Parfum Spray for Women, 3 Ounce
A discontinued YSL release which features notes of lily of the valley, black currant, bergamot, and other green notes. Manifesto is a lovely and soft fragrance  that is both sweet and captivating.

It starts out with the black currant and bergamot, which are both sweet and tart together, and get paired with a creamy vanilla note.

The main difference here is going to be the lack of myrrh, even if this does have a slight amber-like aroma to it at times. So, it’s kind of a similar alternative in style, while not trying to be exactly like the Jo Malone scent. A nice amount of overlap, just never one to one matching.

Manifesto dries down to a green/woody floral, with vanilla and tonka bean sitting on top. This is an attractive daily wear fragrance, that isn’t too loud, but still smells wonderful.

It can be harder to find nowadays, but it might be worth tracking down for some people.

Best Men's Colognes

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
