MARJ I Princess Bottle with Beast Mode Content I Oriental Sensation with Beautifully Balanced Complexity
I could hardly believe that no one had written a review for "Marj / مرج | Ahmed Al Maghribi" yet. Yes, "oriental fragrances" are increasingly making their way to Europe, but most people mean Lattafa and Co. by that. However, there are also niche houses in the Orient that are truly creative and positioned at a higher price point with corresponding quality.
"Marj / مرج | Ahmed Al Maghribi" is one such fragrance; in general, I have started to celebrate Ahmed Al Maghribi, so many top fragrances from this house! "Marj / مرج | Ahmed Al Maghribi" is a wolf in sheep's clothing; cute, sweet. The content, however, is effectively on steroids.... but more on that, let's get into "Marj / مرج | Ahmed Al Maghribi":
- At the beginning, the fragrance is "fresh"; the bergamot is clearly noticeable in the opening, but only for the first few minutes, as the oud builds up simultaneously, which is absolutely not animalic, but rather resinous-sweet and blends very well with the light honey note.
- After that, the freshness recedes, and the sweetness merges in the next phase with floral-creamy aspects, rose subtly, cashmere, orange blossoms, and jasmine, along with an absolutely minimal green-earthy note from vetiver and patchouli. For untrained noses, this interplay smells bright-sweet-floral, but it is really well blended.
- In the drydown, the extremely soft oud gains weight again and mixes with a wonderful pear on an amber base, with subtle raspberry in the shadow of the pear. However, this fruitiness is optimally overshadowed by a more noticeable leather note, which ensures that the fragrance never becomes cloyingly sweet-oudy, but is balanced by the leather.
- The longevity is - sorry for my wording - brutal. A powerhouse - the fragrance lasts forever. Those who love projection monsters will also gain a scent that projects massively throughout the entire experience. You will be noticed, but with a low dosage (1-2 sprays), it can also be worn well in everyday life. With 5-10 sprays, you can be sure that your neighbor will smell it through the walls.
In summary, "Marj / مرج | Ahmed Al Maghribi" is definitely something for experienced noses to appreciate the complexity. However, it also requires someone who really wants to be noticed and has the presence for it.
