La Myrrhe

Myrrhe, perfume and myth. A story that began almost 4,000 years ago… and that has no end. The goddess Aphrodite cast a spell over the Princess Myrrha, making her fall in love with her father Cinyras, King of Cyprus. Ashamed of her love, Myrrha fled into the Sabean desert. The gods, touched by remorse, transformed her into a precious myrrhe tree. - Serge Lutens
