* Not good for younger users

Lattafa's The Myth is a clone of Gucci's A Song for the Rose. This is a very intriguing fragrance, as it leads you to believe it will be a very floral fragrance similar to its sibling flanker The Chant only to turn on the woody, oud and incense notes as well as a balancing note of fresh musk.

What results is a rather masculine take on a rose fragrance, one that may actually take female users by surprise. The rose note may come off as too faint for rose lovers, simply because the other notes are so strong. The musk is quite well utilized, so don't expect this to behave like musky colognes from eras past.

This is best suited for older users who can wear this with confidence. It goes well in cooler weather and performance is decent. Presentation is beautiful. Recommended.

This is a dupe for GUCCI's Alchemist"s series "A Song for The Rose". Never tried either one so someone who has, please follow up and leave the review here.
Notes: Bulgarian roses, Woody notes, Musk

I needed to come back and update my review because after letting this sit for a couple of months to macerate, it has become one of my favorite fragrance purchases in the last few years. Such a beautiful, fresh and herbal rose fragrance with fantastic performance. I have no other rose fragrance with this herbal, green profile. The dry down is a little powdery, but this is most definitely very unisex.

Beautiful presentation and great performance, but it's not as "airy" as the original. Definitely a little darker, spicy and leathery by comparison. I think this will get smoother as it macerates.
