Les Nuits de Marrakech, from Marrakech Imperial was released in 2024. The perfumer behind this creation is Christian Carbonnel. It has the top notes of Incense, Labdanum, and Saffron, middle notes of Ambergris, Amberwood, and Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, and base notes of Cedarwood, Musk, and Patchouli.
This blend opens up very clearly with leathery scent from labdanum (Cistus) but it will be tamed as soon as you notice it. Saffron is somewhat soft and intimate, not that kind of super earthy and powerful which is familiar for many like Pachouli as well - it’s not that gloomy dark and extremely earthy one, it’s very soft wrapped in tender Musk Cashmere. The whole texture is attractively balsamic which I love a lot and “a resin like” from Amber Wood. From time to time I get the hints of Liquorice but it’s more about the saltiness. The scent is sweet and a little bit salty in the same time: Ambergris performs beautifully here. It’s like a mix of sweet and salty candies which you are eating and can’t stop, I can’t stop sniffing this addictive combination here. All the notes are very harmonious, perfectly blended together and it’s very easy to love this if you like balsamic, ambery scents. The concoction is refined, it has a mysterious and sensual character. Les Nuits de Marrakech is surprisingly versatile scent, office safe, wearable year around and in all climates. This is a perfect example of a unisex scent since on my skin it has a certain kind of luminosity whereas on my husband’s skin it’s a tad darker and richer. This was love from the first sniff. ✨Just close your eyes and feel the magic of Marrakech. ✨ TOP: Saffron, Incense, Cistus HEART: Grey Amber, Amber Wood, Cypriol BASE: Musk Cashmere, Patchouli, Cedar Wood Thank you for reading and I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
