FROM THE EXPERTS

Good news for Opium (by YSL) addicts

This winter, Saint Laurent fragrances is betting on the... Go

Sensory Escape in Marrakech

Waves of amber and spices, wisps of scented smoke rising from the medina, notes of rose and secret gardens, trails of tasty Arabian treats… Morocco, particularly the “Red City” of Marrakech, holds a place of honor in perfumery.

To capture the spirit of Marrakech, we suggest:

Marrakech (Aesop)

Close your eyes and ‘picture yourself sipping a clove-and-cardamom chai under a Mediterranean jasmine bush at sunset.’ Woody, spicy, piquant… Marrakech eau de toilette is an Arabian potion for him or her.

Very Irresistible Rosa Damascena (Givenchy)

Givenchy chose the rose harvest for this collectible in Morocco’s Dades Valley. The overall effect is lightly fruity and suede-y, with hints of tea and honey.

Ryad Marocain (Esteban)

‘Hidden amongst sinuous and secretive narrow streets,’ a garden exhales aromatic and gourmand waves of dates and green anise. Look for this fragrant range for the home in Esteban’s Jardins d’Ailleurs collection.

Other items to look out for: Mizensir’s Ambre du Maroc candle; Memo’s Marrakech Kiss home spray; Serge Lutens’s latest fragrance, El Attarine, inspired by the city of Fez (coming in September, exclusively at the Salons Shiseido in Paris); Cinq Mondes’ fragrant Rituel de l’Atlas line.

Stargazing:

More and more movie stars can be seen in Marrakech. Last winter, for instance, the Marrakech film festival welcomed Leonardo Di Caprio and Martin Scorsese. And a certain perfumery star can be seen there in any season: fragrance designer Serge Lutens lives in Marrakech all year long.
