What does Marcel smell like?

It opens with Italian bergamot, blood orange, French lavender and French rosemary, which read bright, green and lightly spicy. In the heart, Madagascan ylang-ylang and Paraguayan petigrain add a soft floral note, while Haitian vetiver, cedar and Indonesian patchouli form a woody, powdery base as it dries down.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is seen as suiting leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as masculine, though some find it classic or feminine.
