What does Marina Deep & Dark / مارينا smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong; every voter rates its longevity high and most say the same of its sillage. The vote count is small, so the figures are tentative, but the scent reads as dense and long-lasting on the skin. Its value for money is also rated high.

The opening is warm and spicy, with saffron, nutmeg, cumin and carnation. In the heart, violet and jasmine add a soft floral touch. The base is led by leather, cedarwood, musk and amber, where the sweet, resinous and earthy sides sit against the woody, smoky ground.
