Created by Jean Sauvage for Binet-Papillon in 2015, N° 8 • MYRRH BLOOD DROP offers a refined interpretation of the woody oriental fragrance family. Its structure moves with elegance from brightness to depth, shaping an expressive composition that feels composed, distinctive and quietly powerful. Presented in a 100 ml Eau de Parfum (EDP), it is a unisex scent with a clear olfactory identity and a polished, modern presence.
The opening of mandarin brings a vivid, luminous contrast. Rather than simply adding freshness, it introduces focus and lift, illuminating the composition before it deepens into a more meditative heart. Incense and patchouli take over with a textured, enveloping feel, balancing resinous nuance with earthy richness. Together, they create a central accord that feels atmospheric and substantial, giving the fragrance depth without losing its sense of refinement.
In the base, oud and myrrh define the scent’s most resonant facet. Oud adds a dark, noble dimension, while myrrh lends a balsamic richness that extends the fragrance into something warmer, calmer and more contemplative. The transition from citrus light to resinous depth is seamless, allowing the perfume to unfold with coherence and character.
N° 8 • MYRRH BLOOD DROP is especially suited to those drawn to fragrances with authorship, structure and presence. Its interplay of woods, resins and earthy accents gives it a distinctive signature—one that feels elegant, immersive and true to the spirit of niche perfumery.
