Ruth Mastenbroek Marlin is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Ruth Mastenbroek. Marlin opens with Bergamot, Thyme, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Amber, Lavender, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Tonka Bean, and Canadian Fir Balsam. Ruth Mastenbroek's Marlin carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Marlin is a fresh, aromatic journey that smells like a brisk walk along a windswept coast. It's a proper British green-woody aromatic, perfect for those who want to smell put-together without shouting about it. A real gem.

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

Imagine inhaling the invigorating scent of wild herbs and citrus hit by a sea breeze - that's Marlin. It opens with herbal wormwood and sharp bergamot, softened quickly by aromatic lavender. A juicy plum note adds a touch of unexpected sweetness as it settles, before drying down to a calming, resinous base of fir, cedar, and warm tonka bean. It's clean, green, and wonderfully grounded.
