stoic spice
A cold spice, a “concrete cardamom,” if you will. It’s clean, stoic, and far more masculine than all the florals would lead you to believe. The opening is sharp, herbal, almost medicinal. The dry down is solemn and leathery, and I get something faintly coppery, like freshly-minted coins. It's so handsome. I don’t know what Marrakech this is imagining. Perhaps one viewed through the tinted glass of a leather-upholstered car? However, it makes it a great option if you're looking for a clear, direct spice without the sugar and chaos of other cardamoms. I've had it for six years and never tired.

Word to the wise: I got the traveller because I loved it so much but foolishly didn’t look up the price before getting to the register because “How much can a rollerball of perfume cost, Michael? $110 dollars?”

(It costs $110).

Mental Snapshot: You’re gazing over a Harkonnen-engineered Arrakeen (in this AU they are not problematic, don’t worry). The city is a tessellation of sun-bleached stone and sharp shadow, studded with step-pyramids of seamless jet marble. The loft is shady, spartan, and hewn from the finest imports. “Great design choice,” You tell Feyd Rautha, joining him in your obsidian soaking tub. “It looks just like this very expensive handwash store on my home planet.”

tl;dr: brutalist souk

Finer version
The experience of walking into an Aesop store is quite special. I have to say, the perfumes look more like hand soaps in these pump containers. Despite the look and this somewhat special presentation, I am pleasantly surprised. "Marrakesh Intense" does not convince with the intensity of spices. If you are looking for a spice bazaar in Morocco, Aesop is perhaps not the right place for you. Arabian perfumes such as the Lattafa brand offer a variety of spice bombs to choose from. As soon as you enter the store, Aesop gives you the feeling of a spa. This atmosphere is also reflected in the perfumes. "Marrakech Intense" therefore reminds me of a visit to the hammam with steam sauna in a 5-star hotel in the old town of Marrakech. Beautiful fragrance oils float in the air and the scent trail is not overloaded, but finely balanced. It is not too intrusive, but rather calming.

This version of Marrakech is refined with a little more rose and jasmine. Initially, the cardamom and clove are very intense. The spices associated with Marrakech are present in moderate quantities. As the fragrance progresses, the spices fade somewhat. What remains is still a spicy fragrance, but in a finer version. The floral notes, especially the rose, are beautifully balanced with the other nuances. This gives the perfume a hint of holy water. I personally find spa fragrances very nice, and for me Marrakech can also smell subtle and not quite so spicy. Perhaps I'm still missing some mint, green tea and honey to represent the character of Morocco. But this is a more abstract interpretation of Marrakech. I am of the opinion that not everything that has oriental traits has to smell exactly like all the spices. "Marrakech Intense" is Aesop's own interpretation of Marrakech, in a beautiful spa style. The fragrance is quite special, as many spa fragrances smell either very citrusy or strongly of cedar wood. This fragrance is a pleasant change and smells really high quality to me.

A very realistic pure cardamom scent. Don't hear any other notes.

A cold spice; a brutalist interpretation of the souk. Wood varnish, rosewater, kid leather, and something metallic – freshly-minted coin.
