Take me back to Milano | Marrakech
My first review and yet I've been doing it for a long time. I've been using EssenceVitae for so long and yet I've never taken the time to talk about my experiences or collection and the individual fragrances.
But now about this wonderful fragrance. For several years now, many fragrances have come and gone and I'm sure I'm like many of you. Your nose changes and over time you go in search of fragrances that don't remind you of others.
It was March, the sun was shining and I visited the wonderful Zhor perfumery in Milan. You've smelled some or a lot of things before or even have them in stock and then there was Marrakech Imperial beautifully displayed and I was immediately taken with the bottles. The beautiful color gradient on the bottle, great design in general and great weight, which I always particularly like. The fragrances in general, as you might expect, have quite an oriental touch. Great and powerful spray and of high quality. Now I came from the more oriental fragrances to the Boheme Chic, which appealed to me directly and I had never smelled a fragrance with date and ylang ylang in the top note before. A great composition and, above all, the novelty made me curious. I sprayed Magie Rouge on next and even then I couldn't remember ever having smelled a fragrance with acacia before. I also really liked this one, until I finally came to Take me back to Marrakech, which immediately reminded me of last summer and my trip to Malta. Bitter orange and blackcurrant are strong at the beginning and settle gently into the musk after about an hour. The pineapple and orange blossom are still present. I don't smell the pepper strongly or at all.
I wanted to let the fragrance develop on my skin and decided against buying it, so unfortunately I had to leave Milan the same day. I already regretted my decision on the plane and wished I'd had the bottle in my hand luggage. Back in Berlin, I knew that the fragrance would have to move in with me soon, but apparently it wasn't available in Germany until last weekend, when I saw on social media that the fragrance was now available to buy from dufftbunker. I was so happy about the package that arrived today, including a Kinetic Discovery Set, which I hadn't expected at all.
The House of Marrakech Imperial should be of particular interest to fans of oriental fragrances. I think that Boheme Chic will also have to move in with me sooner or later.
As far as I found out on the brand's website, the owners themselves also live in Marrakech and I was particularly taken with the story behind the brand, which I was particularly pleased and convinced by afterwards.
