Princesse Marina De Bourbon Marina Blue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Olivier Cresp. Marina Blue opens with Lemon, Melon, Apple, and Pear, settles into a heart of Violet, Lily of the Valley, Freesia, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, and Amber. Princesse Marina De Bourbon's Marina Blue carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A fresh, clean, and understated aquatic-fruity scent. It's a bit of a chameleon, often perceived as clean and comforting, but for some, it vanishes too quickly to leave an impression. A good choice for those who prefer subtle fragrances over statement-makers.

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

Marina Blue opens with a bright and juicy medley of lemon, melon, apple, and pear, giving it an immediately refreshing, almost thirst-quenching quality. This fruity zest quickly mellows, giving way to a delicate heart of aquatic lotus and soft florals like lily of the valley and freesia, creating a serene, watery lightness. The dry down is a gentle embrace of Virginia cedarwood, clean musk, and a whisper of amber, providing a comforting, subtly warm finish.
