West vs Myth

West is a polarizing fragrance that impresses with its fresh, clean aesthetic and subtle sweetness, but struggles with projection and presence on skin. While it performs well on clothing and appeals to those seeking understated elegance, many find it too fleeting and forgettable to warrant a full bottle purchase.

Ellis Brooklyn Myth is well-regarded by the r/fragrance community as a long-lasting, clean musk fragrance that delivers impressive performance. While most users praise its refined soapy quality and wearability, some note it can develop citrus or sour notes on skin, and it performs differently for different people despite general consensus on its strength.
