The Scoop
The Myth captures the sophisticated rose-forward character of A Song for the Rose with commendable precision in the opening and heart notes. However, the base lacks the refined complexity of the original, leaning slightly heavier on white musk while missing some of the nuanced amber warmth that gives Gucci's version its elegant finish.
Key Differences
The clone performs well for the first 4-5 hours but shows reduced longevity (6-7 hours vs. 8+ hours on the original). The sillage is slightly more linear in The Myth, whereas the designer version has more dimensional projection throughout its development.

What wearers say
“Other sites have different notes listed for this. Some have iris, mimosa, oud, amber, and violet. Does not last long, at least on my skin. Starts off bright and fresh with what I assume could be the mimosa and rose. Very slight hint of woods. Safe for everyday wear and office use. Probably won't get heavy use from me. Nothing to terrible but, this is not one of my favorites.”
“This one doesn't really smell like A Song for the Rose at all, which has more of a natural rose smell with some fruitiness to it. This one just smells like some rose fabric conditioner.”
“This is a strong, prominent Bulgarian rose note that settles into a woody, musky base with hints of cinnamon. The floral notes are fresh and photorealistic, a good attempt in its reimagination of Gucci A Song for the Rose. I'm a dude that likes rocking rose scents so let me tell you it ain't no grandma rose. It comes off feeling plenty masculine with the spices and woods, never particularly sweet.”
