Ellis Brooklyn Myth is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Jérôme Epinette. Myth settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orchid, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Patchouli. Ellis Brooklyn's Myth carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Myth is a clean, musky floral that divides opinion sharply; some find it a gorgeous clean-girl dream, others a sterile disappointment with questionable longevity. It's either a personal skin scent triumph or a pricey, barely-there whisper.

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.

Myth's often described as a soft, intimate skin scent with moderate sillage, making it ideal for office and casual wear where you don't want to overpower. Its clean and fresh profile also suits active settings, though its delicate nature might be lost in more boisterous date or formal environments.

About

Imagine waking up fresh, wrapped in soft linen. That’s Myth. It opens with a delicate whisper of ambrette and a hint of bergamot, leading into a floral heart of jasmine, orchid, and lotus that’s more dewy than overtly blooming. The base grounds it in a soft, ethereal musk, a clean cedar, and just a touch of subtle patchouli. It’s a clean and smooth composition, like freshly laundered sheets with a touch of botanical elegance. Think 'your skin, but better', with a sophisticated, gentle projection.
