The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Marc Jacobs Men was launched in 2002, crafted by perfumer Ralf Schwieger. This fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord of bergamot and cypress, mingling with the spicy warmth of cardamom and ginger. The heart notes of fig leaf and cyclamen add a fresh green edge, while rose introduces a touch of floral softness. As it settles into its base, cedar, tonka bean, oakmoss, and patchouli create a warm, woody musk that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

One to two sprays are enough — this fragrance builds gradually over time. The top notes fade within an hour but the base notes sustain for several hours, making it ideal for daytime wear.
