Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector A Night In Marrakesh is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Harry Sherwood. A Night In Marrakesh opens with Bergamot, Vetiver, Cardamom, and Almond, settles into a heart of White Tobacco, Cedar, Rose, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Cambodian Oud, Amber, and Sandalwood. Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector's A Night In Marrakesh carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a truly divisive scent. Some call it a masterpiece of refined, complex blending with good longevity, while others find it faint, uninspiring, or too similar to cheaper Middle Eastern fare. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind purchase.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

A Night In Marrakesh opens with a spiced almond twist, featuring bright bergamot, green vetiver, and warm cardamom. The heart unfolds into a rich tapestry of white tobacco, soft rose, and warm spices like cinnamon and ginger, deepened by coffee and frankincense. The base provides a complex, earthy foundation of cypriol and Cambodian oud, rounded out by amber, sandalwood, patchouli, a touch of honey, and a hint of animalic castoreum.
