Marina Deep & Dark by Ard Al Zaafaran, launched in 2024, is a composition that weaves together the warmth of spices with the depth of leather and metallic notes. The fragrance opens with saffron and nutmeg, creating an aromatic tension that is both spicy and fresh. As it develops, carnation and jasmine add floral touches to the mix, while cedarwood and amber provide a grounding, woody base. This unisex scent is as much about contrast as it is about harmony, balancing warmth and coolness in equal measure.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance lightly to let its complexity unfold gradually. The saffron and nutmeg notes are bright but fleeting, so it’s best to give it time to settle into the leather and amber base, which carry the scent for hours.

The story behind the bottle.
A dimly lit study where the scent of aged books mingles with the warmth of a pipe tobacco, and the metallic sheen of antique objects adds an unexpected touch.
