The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2024 by Rabanne, Armure Mara is a Chypre Fruity fragrance for women and men, crafted by the renowned perfumer Aliénor Massenet. The composition opens with the juicy burst of strawberry before transitioning into a heart of jasmine that adds an airy sweetness. This contrast gives way to a warm base of patchouli and bourbon vanilla, creating a scent that is both bold and comforting. Part of Rabanne's LA COLLECTION RABANNE, Armure Mara embodies the brand’s history of innovation and iconic design, blending modernity with classic craftsmanship.

How to wear it

Armure Mara is best applied to pulse points. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so ensure you capture the lingering warmth of the base notes by applying it at least an hour before your intended wear time. This fragrance reads well close to skin rather than in a wide sillage.
