An attempt at redemption... or more than that?
I'd rather admit it right now: I'm an Amouage fan boy.
Thus inclined to wish or seek the good in it.
Still, I have the sternest critic at home: the fair missus.

Myths Man is my latest acquisition, bought in the SOUK at a friendly Parfumo.
After all, the reviews didn't bode well, but a bottle half-full at a fair price wasn't an unacceptable hurdle.

Unpacked and applied with the as usual good spray head a nice splash on the forearm. First sniffed incredulously and then the lady of the heart the arm to the cross check handed.
Her reaction was worth seeing! Face contorted in disgust with a pained cry and a fervent plea for me to wash it off.
Whether it was due to the iris, we didn't care at that moment - the thing smelled like cat p**e.

But we had a relaxing afternoon on the patio and I bravely stayed and sniffed the developing. Amouage can do that!
After about 30 minutes, a clear change was perceivable.
The patience had paid off. Out peeled a subtle rose on the dung heap, underpinned by some subtle smoke that gave it a masculine note. I don't find the campfire ash in the often described pronouncement. (Would also not be my thing)

So, dare, take your time, try Myths - it is an experience.
Not something to put on quickly before man rushes out of the house. Also, no occasion-free ever walker, but an olfactory journey with a heavy start and beautiful arrival.

In a detailed evaluation I would:
10 points for the bottle awarded
10 points for the development of the fragrance
10 points for the courage of the perfumers to dare such a thing
10 points for anyone who wears Myths in everyday life ;-)

...oh so, brutally long-lasting he is also and the Sillage is curse as well as blessing.

Honor restored? Decide for yourself!

Daydreaming
Exorcising Satan with cough syrup and ashes.
Sitting on the dark Chesterfield sofa.
Drinking a little glass of rum beside it the bottle.
Looking out into the garden and the old curtains.

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...
.
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.

Can Amouage have more beasts?
I know that there is only one Blue Beast, which is Interlude. But for such a symbolic house like Amouage, I would say that not only one scent from them can have the "beast" title.

Myths will fool you into thinking that it is a freshie, with the purple gradient and the friendly colour .. but be warned, this is a one spray game, more than that will push the smell into hate or love territory.

I enjoy the flowery character and I think it is a very nice, special scent.
What do you think?

The journey down a spiraling rabbit hole…
I love my Amouage scents, and this is no different, but this one is definitely a wild experience. A complete and thorough transformation. There is simply no other way to describe it.

The opening is definitely not for the faint of heart; it reminds me of Antaeus at this stage, only 15x the intensity, with an added smokey feel to it. It remains in this stage for an hour and a half (at least) as it starts to melt into another personality in the mid. It begins this by shedding those Antaeus vibes and giving off more of an incense heavy wavelength. Similar to Interlude, but not the same. It holds this way for another 2 hours or so, but it continues twisting and turning as it hasn’t yet finished “developing its fingerprint”. During this time it starts to become sweeter and sweeter. A silky feeling, velvety sweetness begins to emerge, and it is in this latter stage that it absolutely SHINES. Such a vivid, GORGEOUS scent it becomes in the end.

A complete metamorphosis. From yin into yang. Darkness into light. You have to feel it to understand.

As a performer, it doesn’t disappoint. Projecting a proud 5ft+ radius for the entire performance, and enveloping every room you’ve been in with its lingering sillage. It never dies down throughout its fragrant evolution, and deserves every bit of attention it commands.

Not for a beginner, no. You have to WANT to understand it, or you won’t. This scent epitomizes the cliché “don’t judge a book by its cover” phrase in every aspect. From the appearance of the bottle into the opening, following through into the mid, and exiting out with its finale; it is an adventure like no other.

Are you BRAVE enough to take this journey?

THAT is what you must ask yourself.

Totally unique mixture of soapy flowers with reisns and incredible ashy drydown. Fantastic but not for the faint of heart. 100% Amouage.

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

Powdery purple florals, smoky grey ash and deep golden resins makes for a strange yet meditative experience.
