Anyone used Myrto cologne "Lemon" or "Lavender"

[grinbergs]

Just stumbled across them on the ebay and it seems to be colognes from Greece and available at good prices. Available in Lemon and Lavender scent, I don't know if there are more scents. But there is very little written on the internet about them so I was curious to see if anyone on this forum had tried them?

At that price with free shipping ,it's worth a try.

I will probably take the plunge mallocchio. As you say, the price is not much to argue about - I will of course report back about my experiences if I get it delivered. I spoke with a greek today and he told me it was one of those brands that young people don't use much but he remembered it from the childhood as a great scent in the bathroom.

Myrto was a legendary cologne in 70's and 80's here in Greece, and it still smells pretty much like the original one.Fresh light scent, fades after 2 hours. It was used as an after shave as well. I prefer the lemon one.

Old time memories...my first Lavender cologne. No just Lemon and Lavender as i can recall.

Thanks for the info. I ordered the Myrto Lemon, while I was on ebay anyway - I ordered the Turkish lemon cologne "Selin" as well. Hope to make a comparison when they arrive.

I have now tried the Myrto from Greece as well as the Selin from Turkey and I think I prefer Selin which provides a slightly fresher and pure lemon sent. The Myrto has a more floral scent, and in lack of better references (I am no expert) I would say a hint of lavender.

Neither of the products are particularly long lasting.
