Ginger, Ambergris and Musk with a resinous touch
I was thinking to write just a short statement since this perfume is somehow very difficult to put into the words but that space wasn't enough though. Since this scent doesn't bring any images, sceneries or memories into my mind, I go through the notes and focus on how they perform.
The opening is spicy and Ginger is very realistic and natural but otherwise the base is strongly there straight away from the beginning. On my skin floral notes never come through the deep and dark base whilst Ginger manage to maintain its aroma for 2 hours. To my nose, Ambergris is first dominant with smoky feeling from Frankincense, so smoky doesn't mean Tobacco like smoky or a smoke from the fire. Ambergris is first stronger and more opulent and after that it gets lighter and saltier but it's not animalic. Patchouli brings dark, earthy and woody edge to the blend but it doesn't smell that familiar Patchouli like for example in Patchouli-Oud , Portrait of a Lady Eau de Parfum or Straight to Heaven, White Cristal Perfume , it's all the time wrapped in Ambergris and Labdanum which also doesn't bring that usual leather smell but a little bit resinous Amber nuances instead. Over time, Musk starts to leave other base notes in the background and the whole blend becomes sensually soft and the masculine feeling that was dominant at first changes into completely unisex.
I understand totally why this scent is more worn among men (I don't understand why Mariya is not popular among women). There is nothing feminine in it and even if I don't divide scents by gender, and I myself use all kinds of fragrances, it helps to understand what kind of the scent is like.
I'm a little bit surprised of one of the voted accord "synthetic" since imo this smells very natural and it performs like that as well. The longevity is ok but the projection and the sillage are much more moderate than in many other scents from Omanluxury.
What comes to the Myths Man - these scents has nothing in common but Rose as a supportive note and Labdanum which performs in a totally different way in these scents.
Thank you for reading and I hope you liked my review.
