Angela Flanders Artillery No 3 Hungary Water is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Artillery No 3 Hungary Water opens with Lemon and Mint, and settles into a heart of Rose, Rosemary, and Melissa. Angela Flanders's Artillery No 3 Hungary Water carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

The brand's take on the 14th-century Hungary Water formula: rosemary at the centre, with lemon balm, lemon peel, mint and rose around it. This is the Eau de Parfum, the stronger of the two concentrations, made for people who apply less often and want it to last.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Rosemary, lemon balm and mint make this a fresh herbal water rather than a cold-weather scent. Spring is its natural home, summer works because the Eau de Parfum strength holds up in heat, and it fades into the background in winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its intensely fresh, green and aromatic character makes it an excellent choice for casual wear or invigorating sport sessions. While it might be a bit too brisk for a romantic date or overly formal events, its clean profile could work for a relaxed office environment.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rosemary leads, herbal and slightly camphorous, and it stays legible throughout rather than burning off. Lemon balm and lemon peel keep the top bright without turning it into a simple citrus, mint adds a cool edge, and rose softens the herbal core so it lands as fresh green rather than medicinal. Angela Flanders bottles this scent at two strengths. The Eau de Parfum is the stronger of the two: the brand's own guidance is that the Eau de Toilette is for applying more liberally and more often, while the Eau de Parfum is for people who spray less frequently and want greater longevity. The composition is the same; what changes is how long it stays and how far it carries. Hungary Water is one of the oldest documented alcohol-based perfumes in Europe, first recorded for Queen Elizabeth of Hungary around 1370. Angela Flanders' version keeps the herbal structure of the original rather than modernising it, which is most of its appeal.
