A Gem

I just had to seize the opportunity again. When this little fragrance treasure was available at an incredibly low price on my favorite Austrian online portal.

It arrived in an original folding box, padded with sand-colored satin, inside which lay a rather simply made splash bottle. So it must be a find that happened while clearing out an older, deceased person's belongings. At least that's how I see it, as only a few ml were missing from the 50 ml bottle (the ml count of the bottle is also estimated, as there are no details on the bottle).

So how does such a treasure smell?

Initially very soapy and somewhat green or perhaps more citrusy? I can't quite categorize it. I would say it is soapy, which I already like very much.

Later, various flowers join in. You can still recognize them a bit. However, I find that it’s more the stems that have been pressed rather than the blossoms. There is little to notice in terms of floral grace. It is indeed a very strong scent that women actually wore back then.
The faintest hint of green rose can still be sensed, but I cannot, for the life of me, recognize the other flowers listed in the pyramid.

One could certainly describe this scent as unisex, but I think that term was not very common back then.

The brand Myrurgia has really captivated me. I didn't know it, so I am thrilled that all 3 fragrances I have so far are truly wonderful and very much in line with my scent preferences.

„Ein sehr herber Duft ... mit einem Hauch von grüner Rose“? Das könnte mir gefallen.

Seifig scheint dieser Marke zu entsprechen, was ich ja als recht angenehm empfinde.
Ich denke hier nur an "Maja", den Duft zur beliebten Seife.
