Perfect way to feel older ;)

Dry but deep,
witty yet comforting.

Primero Marocaine adds a touch of age to the wearer—in the best possible way. It's sophisticated, beautifully dark, and richly layered. Picture an old smoking room filled with whisky and cigars, tailored suits paired with silk cravats in rich oriental patterns. Along with the added maturity comes a quiet confidence. A fair trade, I’d say.

It’s much drier than Tobacolor—no honeyed sweetness, no juicy plum. Instead, it rests on a soft woody base that anchors a swirl of irresistible spices: bold cinnamon, warm saffron, earthy nutmeg, a whisper of vanilla.

Primero Marocaine flies under the radar—Douglas stocks it, TikTok ignores it. And honestly? That’s a bonus. More room for a fragrance that feels timeless.

It wears well and evolves beautifully on skin, like a Hollywood classic—always building, always intriguing, and yes, it ends well.

An easy pick for my gothic-leaning taste. But for someone with spring in their heart, this might be a challenge. It’s as autumn as it gets.

Beautiful Story

On the cover it says: This is the beginning of a fantastic Italian story, one that is always enjoyed.

I take notice - after all, I am a fan of Italy and of stories.

And this soft spicy fragrance takes me to the picturesque landscapes of Tuscany, whose old weathered castles tell many tales.

I see kings and knights on horseback and fair ladies in gilded carriages.
The harness of the noble horses breathes a leather scent - but very supple.
This fragrance blends with a slightly smoky tobacco note and becomes sweetened by aromatic tonka.

I wave to one of the noble ladies as she passes by in the calash.
She is already gone.

I would have loved to travel along - right onto the pages of the fairy tale book...

Spice Heaven.

I believe this is my first review of a men's fragrance, but what a fantastic scent it is. Unique and so mature. If my husband didn't already have his shelf full of perfumes, I would have bought him this scent immediately; I would then be sniffing him all evening and sticking to him like a burr. The fragrance is so alluring.. It simply smells incredibly good..

The scent is super spicy but in a very soft, almost balsamic way. The Moroccan hashish with a good pinch of tobacco and a lot of nutmeg makes the fragrance very spicy and super unique. I smell dry tobacco leaves sprinkled with nutmeg powder. A hint of cinnamon plays in the background. I can't pick out the saffron.

In the drydown, it becomes warm and woody from the most beautiful cedarwood note ever. I can hardly smell vetiver and patchouli. In the base, there's a lot going on with woody and vanillic notes, but the fragrance remains spicy/woody with a lot of tobacco that almost leans towards a dusty direction.

For me, it's 100% a men's fragrance that feels very mature, serious, super luxurious, yet still casual. Anyone who knows the series SUITS and Harvey Specter just has to imagine Harvey and how he probably smells when he enjoys his 20,000 Euro whisky and wears his tailored suit while casually looking out the window and thinking about his next case.

H+S very good. Please test it yourself, because I see that Baccarat Rouge 540 is listed among similar perfumes. So the scent has zero, really zero to do with Baccarat Rouge, in my opinion..

Primero Marocaine - an unknown treasure!

To be honest, I usually only navigate the "mainstream" niche world. But when I ordered Torino 21 back then, a sample of this fragrance was included. It strongly reminds me of Tobacolor by Dior and Kilian Black Phantom, just without honey/caramel but instead with a load of wood. What can I say... It simply smells incredibly good. Masculine, a bit darker, perfect for the winter season. Also not well-known, which is definitely a plus for me.

Spice Market at Sunset

Primero Marocaine is not a scent for everyday wear and certainly not for the indecisive. From the very first spray, it becomes clear that you are entering another world. A whiff and suddenly you find yourself in the midst of a Moroccan spice market. The air is thick with vapors, resins, and roasted spices. Everything smells intense, deep, rich. And at the same time warm, almost hypnotic.

The fragrance starts off strong. I immediately perceive something resinous, perhaps frankincense or myrrh, accompanied by an oriental spice blend. There is definitely cinnamon or clove at play, maybe something caraway-like as well. But it all remains controlled, elegant, almost darkly glossy. No chaos, but a well-composed scent profile with a lot of character.

After a few minutes, a warm, almost velvety base emerges. I suspect oud, leather, or something balsamic and woody. This depth clings to the skin, accompanied by a slight sweetness that does not come off as gourmand, but rather like woods dipped in honey. The sillage is strong, the longevity very good. This is a statement fragrance that fills rooms and turns heads.

I only have a sample, but even that requires hardly more than a single spray. This is not for a summer afternoon or the office. But in the evening, in cool air, at an event, or when you simply want to make an impression, Primero Marocaine is an impressive choice.

For me, this is a fragrance like an opulent carpet. Full, complex, artistic, and certainly not for the background.
