Marrakech Imperial Atlas Wood Extrait

Description

Atlas Wood is a woody-floral citrus extrait that celebrates Atlas cedar: bergamot and fig leaf over star anise and jasmine, on ambergris, cedar and sandalwood. Composed by Christian Carbonnel for Marrakech Imperial and released in 2024, it pays tribute to the richness of Moroccan flora. It opens green and fresh with fig leaf and green bell pepper, blooms through anise, jasmine and lily of the valley, and settles into a charismatic base of cedar, sandalwood and grey amber with a sensual, slightly animalic finish.
