Marrakech Imperial Take Me Back to Marrakech Extrait

Description

Take Me Back to Marrakech is a luminous citrus-floral extrait: bitter orange and blackcurrant over neroli, pineapple and a patchouli-amber base. Composed by Christian Carbonnel for Marrakech Imperial and released in 2024, it was inspired by the vibrant heart of the Red City and its fleeting moments. It opens green and bittersweet, turns bright and juicy through orange blossom and pineapple with a prick of pink pepper, and dries down to soft musk, amber and patchouli.
