Contes de ParfumsMarrakesh

Description Contes de Parfums Marrakesh EDP is a smoky, spice-laden oriental woody that recalls a Moroccan souk at dusk. Perfumer Nelly Hachem-Ruiz opens it with saffron and cardamom, warms the heart with cinnamon, cumin and nutmeg, and grounds everything in leather, labdanum, cedarwood and soft vanilla. It is bold and atmospheric, made for people who like deep, spicy-leather perfumes rather than fresh or minimalist ones. Scent Character Warm Spicy: 56% Leather: 22% Sweet: 11% Woody: 11% Translation: a spice market wrapped in worn leather: hot, aromatic spice on top, then a dry, resinous leather-and-vanilla warmth that lingers. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Cardamom, Saffron Heart: Cinnamon, Cumin, Nutmeg Base: Vanilla, Leather, Labdanum, Cedarwood Performance Resins, woods and leather give Marrakesh above-average staying power for an eau de parfum, and retailer and wearer descriptions point to strong projection that lingers on clothing. As always, skin chemistry and climate shift the numbers; a reasonable expectation is a long, evolving wear of well over six hours, with the spices calming and the leather and vanilla taking over. Best Occasions & Season Made for fall and winter evenings, night-time events and special occasions. Cumin and cinnamon make it heavy in hot weather, so save it for cooler days.

The dark, leathery depth comes from leather, labdanum and cedarwood. Is it unisex? Yes. Is it good for daytime? It is at its best in the evening or in cold weather; in daytime, use one or two sprays.
