For me, it’s an imprinted scent of a product I love, and that I use everyday: Maja de Myrurgia soap, redolent of lavender, geranium, cloves, vetiver and coumarin… a typical fougère! It’s rumored that historically, the actual soap paste is prepared with the addition of vetiver essence in it. It’s of Spanish origin and dates from the 1930s, but it’s still produced in Mexico.
