My French summer with Marcel
Today I would like to tell you about my first eau de cologne for the summer. My summer hero. The scent I wear when the asphalt shimmers on the way to the lake, or when my neighbors already know that I've left the house because I'm following this irresistible scent trail towards the office.
It's Marcel and he's celebrating summer with me. Very stylish, not at all quiet and surprisingly long-lasting. And it cools me down at the same time.
It starts with a fresh, slightly tangy citrus opening. Blood orange, bergamot and rosemary. Slightly tart, citrusy green. And that's what I really like at the moment. Masculine, masculine and elegant, yet a little old-fashioned. There is also lavender and a fine and subtle sage leather note. That's what makes it so incredibly appealing and charming to me. Marcel gives me poise and presence and pushes me stylishly into the day.
The base remains the vetiver, the warm cedarwood with a hint of tonka.
This lays soft and almost creamy on the skin and still remains somewhat green in the background. I like this twist and it flatters my nose for longer than I would have thought. Small waves keep rising into my nose. Subtle luxury! It is not uniqueness that I perceive here, but rather the perfectly coordinated interplay of all the notes involved. That makes Marcel really good.
I was not yet familiar with the Marie Jeanne label. It was founded by Georges Maubert, a member of the Robertet dynasty based in Grasse, France. For those who, like me, perhaps didn't know: Robertet is known worldwide as one of the largest producers of natural fragrances.
Marie Jeanne as a label stands for craftsmanship, natural ingredients and is located directly at the source. The Marie Jeanne brand sees itself as a reference to classic French femininity and perfumery art. Retro and noble and an imaginary ideal for timeless elegance.
And Marcel? with its name, Marcel bridges the gap between classic French, charmingly old-fashioned, but modernly interpreted cologne. The fragrances of Marie Jeanne are dedicated to Georges Maubert's family name.
And for women, there is a matching counterpart: Marcelle.
