Marrakech Intense Aēsop Eau de Parfum

A day at the market in Marrakech. On vacation. I walk through the streets and see all the spice stalls. In the middle of it, an older gentleman wants to sell me some roses. I move on and perceive all the wonderful oriental scents wafting through the air. But it is warm. So I look for something to cool down. Amidst the oriental fragrance and the rose sellers, I see a drink stand. It is a bit further away, but the scent of a cold, sweet cola draws me in.

That was immediately my feeling when smelling the fragrance. Strong oriental notes and a bit of rose, and somewhere hidden, the clove from the base note combined with the floral accords reminds me of a cola.

It's a shame that Aesop's fragrances generally don't last very long; otherwise, this scent would be even better. However, in my opinion, it is definitely one of the better fragrances in terms of longevity and sillage.
