Bouquet de Cintra by Guerlain c1873
Bouquet de Cintra by Guerlain: launched in 1873.
Cintra refers to the city of Cintra in Portugal. It was here in the middle of the 19th century, that citrus groves dotted the Serra de Cintra, providing the countryside with fresh lemons, citrons and oranges. Masses of sweet scented wild flowers such as wild arbutus, chrysanthemum, Ionopsidium, linaria, trachelium, leucojum, narcissus, dwarf irises, white and yellow broom, honeysuckle, crocus, cistus and woodbine grew in profusion. Trees such as laurel, acacia, palm, aloe, cork oak, pine, fern, eucalyptus, poplar, pepper and myrtle were quite abundant along the mossy covered Serra. I imagine the Cintra perfume would have contained these elements.
Virgil spoke of Cintra -
"Mossy springs and softer grass at the top
And the shade of a rare green tree covers you."
