Agua de Coimbra

Myrurgia · 1999

Fresh · Floral · Green

Myrurgia Agua de Coimbra is a fresh, green and floral men's fragrance that opens with tarragon, caraway and clove. The top notes pair tarragon and caraway for a spicy, green start, with clove keeping it warm. In the heart, lavender, cucumber and osmanthus freshen the scent and tilt it floral. Sandalwood forms a woody base, while phlox, margarita and bunch-flowered narcissus carry the floral side through to the end. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticeable up close without filling a room. Voters place it mostly in daily and leisure wear, with business and evening close behind. It is classed as a men's fragrance.

Myrurgia · 1996

Fresh · Floral · Green

Myrurgia Triangle is a fresh, green floral for women built around bergamot, apple and freesia; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated moderate, though few votes back that up, so it is a tentative reading. It is made for women, and its fresh, green character sits close to everyday wear. It opens with bergamot and apple for a fruity brightness, while blackcurrant blossom pulls it towards green. In the heart, freesia, rose and jasmine form the floral frame, with cardamom and tea adding a light spice and dryness. The base of vetiver, sandalwood and orris root leaves a woody, powdery floor, softened by musk and amber. Caron Aimez-Moi and Elizabeth Arden Splendor have a close profile.

It opens bright with lime, mandarin orange, lemon and green notes, with peach softening the edges.

Rochas Eau de Rochas and Chanel Cristalle have a close profile.
