I tried it and it smells amazing, especially since I’m a fan of the powders and blush from Maderas de Oriente—it’s exactly the same scent. To me, it’s the smell of childhood, that background scent of the women in my family. Even though I don’t know the original cologne, I know powders were a staple for my grandmothers, while the cologne went to the trash in favor of more ‘modern’ things like Farala or Alada. It’s a credit to a Spanish company like Nelia to have revived it. I’m not sure if it matches the original Myrurgia formula, but it smells very feminine, cozy, and vintage, a world away from today’s sweet and synthetic perfumes. I imagine it as a talcum-dusted carnation with a spicy touch of rose and vanilla at the base. It lacks longevity and projection; I prefer powerful scents—and the bottle is ugly—but for 6-7 euros, it’s a steal. If you like Opium or Youth Dew, you might enjoy it; it’s like a softer version.

Every time I wear it, I’m afraid someone will say ‘what a stench.’ It’s a scent that doesn’t appeal to everyone. I don’t dislike it once it fades, but right after applying it, it’s too special (not overpowering or suffocating, just unique). Longevity is minimal on me and the trail is limited. Cheap. I recommend testing it before buying.

I picked it up at an old drugstore. I used to use the house powders, the wheat color, and the scent is identical. The seller told me that with the reformulations, it wouldn’t last as long as before. My experience: spicy first impression, but honestly, it didn’t last more than an hour on my skin.

I bought it because I’ve always used makeup powders and I love their scent. It smells great, but keep in mind it’s more of an intimate perfume. Once it dries down, it definitely smells just like the powders.

Affordable and pleasant, much less ostentatious than the Maderas de Oriente from 50 years ago. It’s quite unisex, and although it doesn’t list cinnamon, I detect a slightly exotic and suggestive hint of it.
