Oriflame M by Marcel Marongiu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Alexandra Carlin. M by Marcel Marongiu opens with Taif Rose, Incense, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Date, Rose, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Suede, Amber, and Patchouli. Oriflame's M by Marcel Marongiu carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This one's a divisive gem. Most people rave about its distinct, niche-like quality, but a fair few find it too strong, masculine, or 'mature'. If you love a bold, smoky-suede number, and can find it, you're in for a treat.

About

Opens with a sharp, almost boozy hit of wormwood and incense, quickly joined by the lush, classic scent of Taif rose. As it settles, a rich, dusty suede emerges, sweetened by dates and underpinned by an earthy patchouli-amber warmth. It's a complex, smoky-sweet Oriental Floral with a deeply satisfying, long-lasting dry down. Forget typical florals; this is a moody, unique concoction.
