Circle of life
One of the most "challenging" from the previous (and best) era of the house, which I finally appreciated after a year and at least 10 testings, as a work of art. The opening is exclusively floral, with iris, reminding me the same iris that was used in black iris combined with piercing acidic chrysanthemum. During its middle phase, it is dominated by dry vetiver (slightly reminiscent of the vetiver of Gucci Guilty Absolute) with rose and rum which have been intergrated (as opposed to vetiver) at a very low intensity. However, in the drydown there is theplot twist, an 180° turn and it essentially becomes a different perfume, as it transforms its floral elements into ash and labdanum with a final base note of leather. That's exactly where you simply shout "Masterpiece!".

Perfect balance
Myths Man opens with this soft blend of florals (iris and chrysanthemum) that really sets a calming tone. The chrysanthemum especially stands out, and while it’s a flower people often associate with graveyards and death, here it feels more fresh and almost medicinal, in a good way. It’s light and soothing, not heavy at all. Then, just as you’re getting comfortable with that gentle floral vibe, everything shifts. The leather and ash come through, bringing this raw, untamed energy. The ash is unmistakable, like it’s been rubbed into the scent, and the rum adds a subtle, but rich warmth. It’s the perfect balance of soft and rugged, constantly changing and keeping you intrigued.

Complication......simplified
Wow.
.
I wasnt sure if I liked this scent when I first smelled it. I think, I still may not be sure but the more I smell it, the more I want to like it.
.
This is like that girl you didn't think you would be digging, and the more you talk to her, the more she intrigues you. The personality, the depth, the slight attraction. & even after all that, you still aren't sure.
.
I will say, this is something special, not every Fragrance house has the "balls" to pull off somethin like this, or even Amouage Lyric. These are so far away from the traditional bullshit we always smell. It doesn't smell cheap, it smells quite elegant. It is covered by flowers, almost scared to tell people who get allergies during the spring and summer because of that. This is a "all yr round" scent, maybe a night time scent even because the depth. This has leather in the background that could attract some women. The woman I let smell it, said she actually liked it. And I think it's this well blend of floral & leather. It's a bit spicy in there with that Rum note. But I wouldn't say this is straight spicy, I'd called this leathery-floral. The dry down is quite captivating. It's not as floral & becomes like spicy-sweet. And im guessing again from that rum note. Even as I type this, I start to like it more...
.
*UPDATE*
Wearing this currently, and the dry down is really where this fragrance shines, it's not just the florals calm down & the leather amplifies with the resins, it also has a nice tobacco accords that sits really nice in the dry down Long side the leather. & a boozy/spicy vibe that surrounds it because the rum
.
This will def not be for everyone, so if you can test it, do it. I just blind bought it because of how big of fan I am of the house of Amouage.

Artistic, unique, mysterious melancholic beauty in a unisex way
One more stupendous Amouage which is discontinued. This underrated, artistic masterpiece is totally unisex imo.

Myths Man has an extraordinary melancholic beauty, it’s so lyrical, like an unreal dream. There the resinous leather meets flowers drenched in Rum, then covered with ashes. It’s not a smoke, if you have smelled the fireplace after after the embers have gone out, you know how it smells and how it feels in an abstract way. There is something magical in it. It’s very rare to find Chrysanthemum in perfume, it’s a little bit musty and herbal, so perfect in this composition which is harmonious and beautifully blended. One of my favorite flowers, Iris, together with Chrysanthemum leaves me speechless, it’s a ravishing combo. Iris doesn’t make it make up like nor powdery but it makes me think violet colour while smelling it. Leather is smooth and soft, not challenging at all. It’s subtle, sophisticated, very gentle from Labdanum and it blends seamlessly with Vetiver and Elemi. Something here gives me aromatic vibe and I think it has to be Vetiver together with balsamic Elemis. Rose here is only a supportive note imo.

In the language of flowers, the chrysanthemum carries the symbolic meaning of devoted love, loyalty, happiness, longevity, and joy. Especially in the Asian context, Chrysanthemum flowers are commonly used in funeral floral arrangements to say goodbye.

Myths Man is unique and precious. It truly is a hidden gem. i don’t know any perfume which would be close to this.

Thank you for reading and I hope you liked my review.

Most artistic and under the radar Amouage?
Amouage Myths Man is the kind of scent that's got a vibe unlike any other,think of it as the soundtrack to a stylish, somber ceremony. With its unique mix of smoky ash and floral accords, it’s like paying tribute with blooms to someone who’s turned to ashes and the only thing that a left is the Myth.
Setting a mood that’s introspective and a bit melancholic. Yet, its not all gloom. There's a beauty in the sorrow, like finding solace in memories or the peace of a final goodbye...
It’s perfect for moments of reflection or when you want to wear something that’s as complex and profound as your thoughts.

P.S Sadly discontinued :(

Spicy floral bouquet, a boozy, medicinal warmth.
Morphs into a smooth, yet vividly ashy leather.
A harmonious celebration of life and death.

At first daring and masterful combination of flowers and smoke, then beatiful cool (sometimes sweetish) smoke with Amouage signature. Top!!!
