Amouage Myths Man smells like smoky leather and rum-soaked wood with a whisper of florals. Chrysanthemum and iris open it cool and powdery, an unexpected start. Elemi resin, rose, rum and vetiver give the heart a boozy, woody warmth, and ash, leather and labdanum make the base dark, dry and smoky.
This leans masculine, and the community reads it as amber-forward, smoky and sensual. It is a night scent for spring, fall and winter, worn for dates and nights out. It is an unusual, moody composition, and the price keeps its value score modest, so it is worth sampling before committing. Released in 2016.
Performance is serious: long longevity and projection that can fill a room.
Around $395.
