The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Marrakech by Lancôme was launched in 1946, the creation of renowned perfumer Armand Petitjean. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with aldehydes and citrus notes that capture a sense of freshness, before transitioning into a heart of orange blossom, Turkish rose, and jasmine. The base is richly layered with mysore sandalwood, tonka bean, ambergris, labdanum, vanilla, benzoin, oakmoss, leather, and musk, evoking the warmth and complexity of Marrakech itself.

How to wear it

Apply Marrakech with confidence — the aldehydes and citrus top notes are bright but short-lived. The rich base notes develop slowly over time, so it’s best to let them settle on your skin for at least an hour before heading out.

Armand Petitjean

Armand Petitjean, born May 20, 1884, into a family of distillers, was initiated into perfumery by François Coty, for whom he worked before founding Lancôme with Guillaume d'Ornano in 1935, presenting five inaugural fragrances at that year's Brussels Universal Expo.
