What does Marrakesh smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine and makes its presence felt.
It opens with cardamom and saffron, and cumin, nutmeg and cinnamon keep the spice going through the heart. As it dries, cedarwood, labdanum, Morocco leather and vanilla come forward, adding a gourmand sweetness to a woody, smoky base. Penhaligon's The Blazing Mister Sam and Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud have a close profile.
