Cuir de Marrakech: Light Ambient Chill

Cuir de Marrakech by Maison Maïssa
Woody Spicy

Cuir de Marrakech is a surprising fragrance. Despite its name, it is not a leathery scent and it is not a heavy perfume either. It is full of resins and balsams and has a warm and inviting character.

The top envelops into a fruity zest. Later, it smells like an exotic market with kitchen spices. There is cinnamon, opoponax, Tolu resin, to name a few. The aroma is aromatic with a gentle touch of seasoning. The note profile is a heavy hitter so one would expect a beastly lasting and projection; however, it is not like that. It is a soft atmospheric smell like stress relief music you play in the background.

Look, if you wear mass-pleasing freshies and want to venture into spicy and gourmand scents, Cuir de Marrakech can be your ferryman. It sits on the skin nicely. You can put it on all year round and it is unisex. Pricing is also reasonable for a niche brand.

As for my personal experience, Cuir de Marrakech did not totally blow my socks off. I am not in a hurry to buy a bottle but it is vital to acknowledge: “What a lovely scent!”
