The review
Strong contender. That is where Myself lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to MYSLF.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is MYSLF's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 81% less than MYSLF — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

What it is chasing: bergamot and orange blossom up top, orange blossom and lavender in the middle, patchouli, ambrofix and woody notes underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent MYSLF.
Top
- bergamot
- orange blossom
Heart
- orange blossom

Creamy orange blossom over ambery woods, contemporary and very easy to wear.
