Description
The story behind this fragrance
Marseille opens with bright bergamot and mandarin hitting first, then basil's peppery green cuts through—crisp, almost herbaceous. As it settles, orange blossom softens the herbs while violet leaf adds a dusty, slightly soapy texture; tobacco weaves in with a warm, slightly smoky undertone. The base brings musk and tonka's creamy sweetness into conversation with cedarwood and vetiver's earthy pull, while cashmere wood rounds everything into skin-close softness. It's cologne-clean at first, then gradually turns into something warmer, slightly powdery, grounded.
