Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a bright citrus burst of bergamot and mandarin that feels clean and slightly fizzy, softened almost immediately by a creamy orange blossom heart that keeps things from going too sharp. As it settles, cedar adds quiet structure while vetiver grounds it with a subtle earthiness that stops the florals from going feminine. The dry-down is smooth musk — skin-close, warm, and easy. Projection is moderate; sillage is polite rather than demanding, making it genuinely wearable without effort — a versatile warm-weather daily wear for men who want something presentable but not boring.
Bergamot cuts through first — bright, almost sharp — before cardamom and iris pull it into cool, powdery territory. The heart is where it earns its name: oud and sandalwood lock together into something dark and structured, neither too smoky nor too sweet. Amber and vanilla ease in during the dry-down, softening the wood without tipping into dessert territory. Projection is confident without being aggressive; sillage lingers as a warm, slightly spiced skin scent. — Best worn evenings in fall or winter by anyone who wants formal-adjacent without smelling like everyone else in the room.
How they overlap
MYSLF and Tuxedo share 2 notes (bergamot, musk). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (4 unique to MYSLF, 6 unique to Tuxedo) are where the divergence happens.
The buying decision
MYSLF is the cheaper original at $130 compared to $185 for Tuxedo — about 30% less. MYSLF is built for spring/summer/fall; Tuxedo for fall/winter. Pick by when you'd actually wear it.
