Classics that made it to the bottom: Maja
To the lowest level of the shelves namely, but still and hallelujah!, they still exist. They were probably rarely really first cast, some also rather regional celebrities. Tosca comes to mind, as (unfortunately also no longer available) perfume warm-powdery and beautiful, the elegant and somewhat repellent Arpège belongs to it, the classic Rochasdüfte or even Maja (even if only still available over the net).
Maja, renovated many times presumably, at least one change of ownership, should hardly still smell like in her year of birth, 1918. The currently available version should have its roots in the 70s, then Maja had long since relegated to the third and available in all drugstores for relatively little money. As a soap, very clove-heavy and dark, as a skin cream and as an eau de toilette, the brand overall a bit more expensive than the other (still relatively few) fragrances that were available in drugstores at the time, but still affordable.
At some point, probably no one in Europe wanted to wear Maja - Myrurgia was sold in 2012 to Puig and Maja to Mexico, to a manufacturer called Grisi and if you look at its webpage, it seems something like a one-peso store, a little here what and something there, and overall very, very cheap. At the same time, Grisi produced the year before last - on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the fragrance - a limited edition Maja as an eau de parfum in a surprisingly pretty and valuable balloon atomizer.
Interestingly, the brand Maja is also represented on the Grisi site at the moment only with body care, moreover, it is surprising that many offers on amazon (Again? Or still?) Myrurgia as manufacturer indicate. Back to the roots, so is Maja produced by Myrurgia again? Hard to say, one of the latest halfway serious information about Myrurgia that I could get from the net is just that of the sale to Puig, after that there is not too much more. Confusing. And perhaps a hint to get a bunker bottle for safety's sake, before Maja could finally no longer be available.
Because Maja, the (pretty) girl, is a really exquisite little beauty. And with a lot of temperament at the beginning: the top note gallops off laughing exuberantly, with a hefty blob of honey on floral citrus and orange blossom, I also mean to smell golden ylang-ylang. A few aldehydes, perhaps? Youthful Maja smells summery, sunny, carefree and self-confident.
Then she becomes calmer, more serious, but with smiling eyes: the dense honey sweetness fades, the fragrance becomes more transparent and airy, gold becomes silver, boisterous jumps become relaxed walking.
In my memory, Maja used to smell much more clove- and somehow more alchemical, herbaceous and herbaceous - the current version does not.
Despite delicate garden clove spiciness, it holds no secret, it lays its heart bare. The rose geranium, always somewhat distant and waiting, a rather cool-smelling rose and the gently dosed spice result in a wonderfully delicate, gently floating, very delicately powdered fragrance, transparent and friendly. A mauve, gossamer organza stole, delicately iridescent and so light that it almost floats. A little treasure for every lover of rather classic floral fragrance signatures.
Thus, the fragrance remains on the skin for several hours, on clothes naturally longer. Maja accompanies me gently smiling to the office and she is a quite wonderful unobtrusive travel companion, always there, and never "too": Not too loud, not too fresh, not too off-putting, not too sweet, not too dense.
In the transition to the base note, Maja becomes more confidential in a very endearing way, she comes closer to me, lays her head on my shoulder and shows me her friendship with a very light, wonderfully airy-soft warmth for another hour or two.
Maja, my beauty, you smell really good and much, much more expensive than the ridiculous price at which you are being sold off would suggest. You do not deserve that, even in your current version. In any case, I'll be sure to stock up on another bottle, so that you and I can be friends for a long time to come. Because I like you very much.
