Launched in 2005 by Aesop, Marrakech is a woody spicy fragrance that evokes the rich blend of Morocco's ancient city. The composition opens with warm spices and aromatic notes before settling into a powdery and balsamic base, creating an atmosphere that feels both grounded and liftd. This scent channels the essence of Moroccan craftsmanship and tradition, blending the earthy warmth of wood with the complexity of spicy aromatics.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays directly onto your pulse points. The powdery base notes will develop gradually over time, so it’s best to let them settle for a few minutes before heading out. This fragrance is more suited for evenings or cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
