About
Marfa by Memo Paris is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. Marfa was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Alienor Massenet. Top notes are Peach and Mandarin; middle notes are Tuberose, Ylang Ylang and Orange Blossom; base notes are Vanilla Bean, Sandalwood, Musk, Tonka Bean and Cedarwood. Marfa captures the magnetic charm of a sun-drenched American landscape, where desert and sky merge, with a memorable, captivating tuberose scent—powerful andirresistible. Tuberose & Orange blossom cultivated in India and harvested by hand, this flower with a soft and creamy odour that awakens at nightfall divulges a heady secret. Its sensuality is enhanced with the flowers and plump buds of Tunisian orange blossom that give off a warm and sensual scent to make Marfa a deliberately bewitching fragrance.

About
Gabrielle Essence by Chanel is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. Gabrielle Essence was launched in 2019. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Polge. Top notes are Citruses, Peach, Red Fruits, Black Currant and Petitgrain; middle notes are White Flowers, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Orange Blossom and Coconut; base notes are Musk, Sandalwood and Vanilla. The bold, independent character of Gabrielle Chanel would determine her fate and change the course of history. In 2017, CHANEL created a fragrance in her honor, a reflection of her extraordinary, determined and passionate spirit: GABRIELLE CHANEL. From the scent to the bottle—both firsts in the history of CHANEL—and the choice of name, it pays tribute to the woman she was before Coco Chanel.In 2019, GABRIELLE CHANEL Eau de Parfum is reinvented with GABRIELLE CHANEL ESSENCE. Familiar but unlike no other, this new olfactory variation shows a more vibrant and opulent side.Inspired by the very essence of Gabrielle’s radiance, the fragrance shines with intensity, inviting all women reveal their true selves, to follow their instincts by expressing their freedom and speaking their mind. The voluptuous scent works its magic to reveal each individual identity. Solar, it heightens the dazzling charisma of the woman who wears it with warmth and luminosity.
