Marrakech Intense Aēsop Eau de Parfum

Helpful Review
North African Spring
Monday morning...the streets of the souk are bustling and the morning sun shines down on the stalls. I stroll through the market and gather various impressions. I'm offered different spices, and I especially notice cardamom strongly. Amid all the action in the market, there are quiet moments when a breeze carries the scents of neroli, jasmine, and roses to me. I close my eyes and consciously take in the moment and all the stimuli affecting me.
This scene plays out in my mind when I think of Aesop Marrakech Intense. The Aesop brand is not necessarily known for its fragrances and offers more skincare than perfumes. However, I find that Aesop fragrances are criminally underrated, and especially Marrakech Intense does not receive enough recognition.
The scent is a floral-woody fragrance that is very unique.
The interplay of cardamom and the floral notes is incredibly beautiful; I could smell it all day long. Sandalwood and cedarwood come in later and add a warmth to the scent that I haven't experienced before.
The fragrance has good longevity, and the sillage is quite strong as well. However, I wouldn't wear it above 18 degrees, as it becomes really intense in warmer temperatures and can even be perceived as overwhelming.
All in all, Aesop Marrakech is my absolute favorite fragrance, and despite the relatively high price for 50ml, I will definitely buy another bottle as soon as my flask is empty.

Nice review! This fragrance is seriously underrated.... but in my skin it barely lasts 3-4h with maybe 30min projection. I have Eidesis also from Aesop and it lasts a lot longer, around 7-8h. Is your batch recent?
