Australian botanical brand, Aesop has launched a new updated version of its iconic Marrakech fragrance – this time it’s intense.
Everyone has a scent that appeals to their olfactory senses and then are there scents that whisk us away to a whole new environment, leaving reality behind – at least for a bit.
Well, to many’s delight, Aesop will be relaunching a new variation of its iconic Marrakech fragrance that was created in 2005. Now almost a decade later, the Australian botanical brand tweaked the original spicy fragrance to offer another unique interpretation of the essence of Morocco.
Created in collaboration with revered French perfumer, Barnabé Fillion, Marrakech Intense offers a sophisticated yet raw mix that fills the air through the juxtaposition of a musky oriental wood blend and the softness of floral top notes.
Fillion, who has similarly collaborated with Le Labo, Paul Smith and Von Sono creates scents that are particularly beguiling and translate to very specific memories.
Fillion explains: ‘Egyptian Jasmine absolute imbues the fragrance with sensuality and links the spice elements. The Bergamot’s brilliance is extended while ensuring it blends well with the Neroli top note and the effect of the Jasmine petals. Together, these three components secure the top notes’ freshness. Marrakech Intense can be seen as an innovation in the tradition of Aesop.’
Still staying true to tradition, the unisex fragrance is housed in a quintessential apothecary styled bottle to beautifully encapsulates the charming and fuss-free nature of Aesop’s ethos.
Aesop Marrakech Intense will be available from September as a Eau de Toilette (50ml, approx. USD84) and Parfum roll-on (10ml, approx. USD101) at all Aesop stores.
