The Rose is Not Mystical
Myth Bloom starts with a distinctly dominant wild rose note that feels rather neglected. This impression comes off a bit old-fashioned. However, the clover beautifully softens this with its subtly herbaceous green and herb-fresh elements in the background, so that the start can be described as fresh-herb-rosy overall.
The mint seems to be well woven in, as I cannot identify it directly. However, it certainly supports the fresh impression.
Apple blossom, to my knowledge, does not have a very strong scent and thus plays, if at all, only a delicately soft floral role in the background. Here too, it is more supportive as a quiet companion rather than a dominant presence.
After about 2-3 hours, the base with cedar and light woods fades out subtly, woody-dry and close to the skin.
For me, there is nothing mystical about this fragrance as the name might suggest. I mean, it is nicely composed, although there is a slight synthetic note present.
Aside from poor longevity and sillage, the fragrance is certainly a pleasant everyday companion in spring/summer if you like the scent of wild roses. However, reapplication is necessary, as the scent does not last through a workday, which is probably bearable given the price of well under €20.
