Les Parfums Mythiques - Xeryus Givenchy for men

I have only tried the vintage formulation. I like it, but I don't find that it has any "wow factor." It's natural smelling and has excellent longevity, along with at least good projection/"sillage." It has some interesting "moves" within the first hour or so, but then you get a slightly sweet woody scent. This is where it's "nice" but nothing I would want to spend money on, especially considering the prices vintage ones are selling for now. However, if you are the type of person who sprays it on and wants to smell something interesting for a little while, but then you want the scent to recede and smell "inoffensive" but not common or "synthetic," this might be for you. I could imagine someone who isn't comfortable wearing "loud" fragrances in certain circumstances but still wants something slightly "old school" buying Xeryus. For the aficionado, however, I just don't think there is enough here for it to compete against the "greats." A simplified (and much cheaper) idea that has some "edge" for a longer period of time can be found in 273 Men by Hayman. However, the ingredient quality in vintage Xeryus is clearly better (though 273 isn't what I would call bad).

Its a Sheer Disappointment! i was so happy wen i got this but my happiness lasted as long as this perfume is Zinch! It has ok smell, longevity is poor. I apply on body & clothes in which the sillage remains on body for some hours but cloths are begging for more!
pls try before u buy!!!

é muito gostoso;mesmo no início , quando tem poder para sufocar a todos num elevador . ao longo das horas sua projeção vai diminuindo a um ponto ideal , em que se apresenta , sem incomodar , tornando-se cada vez mais interessante . gostoso e duradouro , sim. mas....moderno , nem pensar . não chega a ser o famoso "perfume de vovô" ,
mas infelizmente tem um quê de desodorante . já senti esse cheiro , claro , com muito menos sofisticação , mas algo bem próximo , em algum ônibus lotado....mais de duas borrifadas é suicídio.

achei pesadíssimo. muito forte e duradouro ( até demais). torna-se rapidamente enjoativo . definitivamente , eu o considero um perfume para senhores . o mote da fragrância até que é interessante .se fosse menos intenso , seria uma ótima opção diária.

This reformulation of the classic Xeryus is truly wonderful. Whereas the original was very layered and complex and composed of a melange of several powerful notes Mythical is more along the lines of a classic twelve note fragrance construction ala Paris parfumeries in the mid to late 1800s...

On initial trial I thought green-spicy-woody...but I tried it on paper first, when I finally wore it on my skin it was almost a different scent. The aromatic greens were the first to appear along with a slight citrus and hint of green cypress. This gave way to gentle dry floral aromas of geranium with hints of rose, jasmine and violets(?) with a kiss of cloves. The drydown is stunning with amber's warmth, sandalwood's clean woodiness and just the right amount of musk. I also detect a hint of bay or cypriol.The overall effect is elegant, masculine and warm...

Sillage: quite good
Longevity: great
Overall: 4.5/5

The original was a bit too much for me, but this one is absolutely divine! It is indeed Mythical...a blend of gentle strength and refined construction, perfectly executed: An uncommon scent for an exceptional man...

Good fragrance. It has a fresh herbal green smell. It does get woodsy in the drydown. Smells somewhat similar to Ralph Lauren Polo Modern Reserve. Last 6-8 hours on my skin in very warm humid weather so it will probable hold up better in fall and spring conditions. Moderate sillage. 8.25/10

when I think of this perfume I can imagine a knight on a black hourse,brave & fearfulness who can fight for me to the extreme.it's really a mythical perfume.so it's not suitable for any man.the one who wears it must dare it.
it's very sharp & spicy.if you're not strong enough you may find it even annoying.but as the time goes it becomes more woody and attracting.
it's the limited edition of Xeryus which is reedited by some other legendary perfumes of this company..personally I found it more mythical and dangerous.yeah,more than 2 sprays are dangerous!
