The review
On paper, Rey is a reasonable bet if you want MYSLF for less.
Maison Asrar lists 2 of the 7 notes in MYSLF's pyramid — bergamot and musk. What it does not list: orange blossom, lavender, patchouli and ambrofix; and it adds geranium, grapefruit and tonka of its own.
At $40 it costs 76% less than MYSLF.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Asrar publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot and orange blossom, turns to orange blossom and lavender, and settles into patchouli, ambrofix and woody notes. That is the brief Rey is working from.

Base

Creamy orange blossom over ambery woods, contemporary and very easy to wear.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
