Amouage Myths Woman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Nathalie Lorson. Myths Woman opens with Violet Leaf, Narcissus, Labdanum, and Chrysanthemum, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Carnation, and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Oakmoss. Amouage's Myths Woman carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a true love-it-or-hate-it affair, a divisive witchy potion that's not for the faint of heart. If you're after something unapologetically powerful and a bit gothic, this could be your scandalous signature, otherwise, steer clear.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its potent projection and unique, strong profile make it unsuitable for an office setting. However, its complex and intriguing nature, with a touch of sensuality, can make it a captivating choice for dates or formal events. It's too demanding for a casual day out and completely out of place for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Myths Woman opens with a bold, earthy hit of violet leaf and narcissus, quickly joined by an almost decaying chrysanthemum and moss. This morphs into a heart of spicy carnation and deep ambergris, settling into a dark, animalic leather, oakmoss, and musk dry-down. It's a journey from damp, green nature to something far more primal and mysterious.
