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

  Seville’s Bewitchment: 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 triggers something more earthy and ‘dirty’ with patchouli, animalic notes, vetiver, tobacco, and avoirdupois leather. The floral side is also noticeable: carnation, lilac, heliotrope, and some iris. But the base takes all the attention. For a cologne, it’s quite potent and faithful to its grand name. Another success from Myrurgia.

  Reviewing a 1933 bottle. The opening is aldehydic with citrus, short-lived, and quickly moves to 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 give it roundness and complexity; everything is very old-school. It finishes with an avoirdupois and resinous tone. I see it as complex, with three well-differentiated phases, and I think it faithfully evokes its name: mysterious, deep, and sensual. A classic from Myrurgia, now gone. The bottle and box are design marvels, reminiscent of the Torre del Oro in Seville; the black box imitates bull hide. I wonder why so many Myrurgia perfumes are missing from Fragrantica; Lavanda, for instance, shouldn’t envy Caron’s Pour Un Homme. Someone in the English version also speaks of this delight. Best regards.

  I’m reviewing a 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 give it roundness and complexity; everything is very old-school. At the end, there’s an avoirdupois and resinous note. 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 recalls the Torre del Oro, and the box is black, imitating bull hide. I wonder why so many Myrurgia perfumes are missing from Fragrantica; Lavanda shouldn’t envy Caron’s Pour Un Homme. Someone in the English version also speaks of this delight. Best regards.

  The bottle I treasure must be over 35 years old and still smells well. Could there really be a spell upon it?

  The bottle I keep has been over 35 years old and still smells wonderful. Could it really be bewitched?
