Myths Woman
Myths Woman opens in a register that feels deliberately anticlimactic — violet leaf and galbanum give a cold, bitter-green impression rather than anything welcoming.

By the editors · 2 min readMyths Woman opens in a register that feels deliberately anticlimactic — violet leaf and galbanum give a cold, bitter-green impression rather than anything welcoming. Narcissus joins them, adding its quietly narcotic, slightly indolic character; this is not a flower that flatters. The result reads like wet garden soil after rain, a combination that belongs to early-1970s French chypres rather than anything launched in the past decade.
Ambergris and patchouli in the heart give warmth without sweetness, and the base of oakmoss, leather, and musk resolves into a damp, animalic drydown that's almost antithetical to modern mainstream perfumery.
Its companion Myths Man is brooding; Myths Woman is feral. An Amouage that asks you to meet it rather than the other way around.
