Alice Brooklynn Myth Amber

Alice Brooklynn Myth Amber — Myth by Ellis Brooklyn Review: A Musky Floral Skin Scent

Searching for 'Alice Brooklynn Myth Amber'? The fragrance you want is Ellis Brooklyn Myth.

By Vivir · · Updated
Before anything else, a correction. If you arrived here searching for a fragrance called "Alice Brooklynn Myth Amber," no such product exists. Repeated searches for that exact name return no brand called Alice Brooklynn and no scent called Myth Amber. What you are almost certainly looking for is Myth by Ellis Brooklyn, the 2016 eau de parfum from the New York-based clean fragrance house. The confusion is understandable: "Alice Brooklynn" is a near-homophone of "Ellis Brooklyn," and "Myth Amber" appears to merge the brand's signature musk with Super Amber, a separate Ellis Brooklyn scent built around amber, vanilla, and cedar. This review therefore covers the real fragrance that matches the intent behind the search: Myth, an eau de parfum composed by Jérôme Epinette and released in 2016. It is a musky, floral, slightly powdery composition that has become one of the most frequently recommended "clean girl" fragrances on the market, and one of Ellis Brooklyn's best-known releases alongside Bee, Salt, and West. Myth is not a loud fragrance, and it does not try to be. It is a soft, close-wearing scent built on ambrette seed, tiger orchid, pink lotus, and a clean musk base. Understanding what it does well — and where it falls short — requires looking at its notes, its performance, and the specific contexts in which it makes sense. That is what follows.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 15 to 30 minutes are bright and slightly tart. Bergamot and cassis give Myth a crisp, almost fruity lift, while ambrette seed — the note that defines the fragrance — introduces a soft, pear-like muskiness underneath. The opening is the most energetic phase of the wear and fades faster than many wearers expect.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

Roughly one to two hours in, the heart takes over. Tiger orchid and pink lotus read as clean, watery florals rather than rich or indolic ones, and jasmine adds a light, airy sweetness. The composition turns noticeably powdery here, with the musky-floral character that most reviewers associate with Myth at its peak.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

From roughly the four-hour mark onward, Myth settles into a soft musk and white cedarwood base with a faint patchouli undertone. The finish is clean, slightly soapy, and very close to the skin. On most wearers the fragrance is largely a skin scent by this stage, which is consistent with its reported four-to-six-hour longevity.

Pros & Cons

  • ✅ Clean, versatile, and genuinely office-appropriate
  • ✅ Soft musk and floral profile that suits warm weather
  • ✅ Widely available at multiple price points, including travel sizes
  • ✅ Composed by a respected perfumer with a strong niche pedigree
  • ❌ Moderate longevity of roughly four to six hours
  • ❌ Soft projection that some wearers find too quiet
  • ❌ Powdery drydown is divisive
  • ❌ The name is frequently confused with other Ellis Brooklyn releases

Price & Value

$23-$115
The official Ellis Brooklyn 50ml eau de parfum is listed at $115, while retailer listings and smaller or travel formats range from roughly $23 to $80.50.

“At full retail, Myth sits at the upper end of the clean-fragrance bracket for a moderate-performance eau de parfum. At the lower end of the observed range — travel sprays and discounted retail listings — it represents solid value, particularly for wearers who want a light everyday scent rather than a heavy signature.”

Ideal For

Layering Ideas

Final Verdict

Myth is a well-executed, deliberately quiet musky floral that does exactly what it sets out to do: sit close to the skin, smell clean, and work in almost any daytime setting. Its moderate longevity and soft projection are limitations rather than flaws, and wearers who want a bold amber should look to Super Amber instead. For anyone seeking a dependable everyday skin scent, it remains one of the better options in the clean-fragrance category.
