  It’s a bit fuzzy in my memory; my dad gave it to my mom when I was a kid. I don’t know exactly what it smells like, but I know it smelled like something striking, and my mom’s aunts and friends said it was a total hit.

  Seville’s Curse: I want to applaud Myrurgia’s creativity with the names and concept; it’s tempting. Just as clove is the star in Maja and sandalwood in Bois d’Orient, here I see patchouli and tobacco as part of the identity. The opening is very aldehydic, sweet/fruity, then shifts into something earthier and ‘dirtier’ with patchouli, animalic notes, vetiver, tobacco, and vanilla leather. The floral side is also noticeable: carnation, lilac, heliotrope, and some iris. But the base steals the show. For a cologne, it’s quite potent and true to its grand name. Another success from Myrurgia.

  I’m reviewing my own 1933 bottle. It starts with aldehydes and citrus that don’t last long and launch straight into the peach, the heart. It’s spicy and woody, not floral, though a bit of rose is noticeable. The nectarine stays with resins like benzoin and sandalwood. There’s a powdery touch of iris and carnation that gives it roundness and complexity, all very old-school. In the end, there’s a vanilla-resinous finish. I see it as complex, with three well-marked phases that evoke its name: mysterious, deep, and sensual. A classic from the now-defunct Myrurgia. The bottle and box are a design marvel; it reminds me of the Torre del Oro, and the box is black, imitating bull leather. I wonder why so many Myrurgia perfumes are missing from Fragrantica; Lavanda shouldn’t be jealous of Caron’s Pour Un Homme. Someone in the English version also talks about this delight. Cheers.

  Reviewing a 1933 bottle. The opening is aldehydic with citrus, short-lived, and quickly moves into the peach, which I believe is the heart. It’s spicy and woody, not floral, though there’s a hint of rose. The nectarine lingers in the middle with resins like benzoin and sandalwood at the base. There’s a powdery touch of iris and carnation that adds roundness and complexity, all very old-school. It ends with a vanilla-resinous nuance. I see it as complex, with three well-defined phases, and I think it faithfully evokes its name: mysterious, deep, and sensual. A classic from the now-defunct Myrurgia. The bottle and box are design marvels; they remind me of the Torre del Oro in Seville, with the black box imitating bull leather. I wonder why so many Myrurgia perfumes are missing from Fragrantica; Lavanda shouldn’t be jealous of Caron’s Pour Un Homme. Someone in the English version also talks about this delight. Cheers.

  The bottle I treasure must be over 35 years old and still smells good. Is it really resting under a curse?

  The bottle I’ve kept has been around for over 35 years and still smells great. Is it really cursed?
