Marrakesh by Urbis Parfums
Urbis Parfums Marrakesh is an oriental gourmand fragrance released in 2023 by the Egyptian brand Urbis Parfums.
The composition is presented in Parfum (Extrait) concentration and has a unisex positioning, so it can unfold expressively on both women's and men's skin.
Marrakesh combines sweet, floral, woody and leathery nuances, creating a rich fragrance with an oriental mood.
The Character and Scent of the Fragrance
The main impression of Marrakesh is built around the contrast of creamy coconut, coffee bitterness and a dense amber base.
A honeyed-sugar accord softens the oud, leather and rum, while white-floral and rose nuances add volume and radiance to the composition.
Thanks to this structure, the fragrance is perceived not as a simple sweet composition, but as a dense, multilayered extrait with a distinctive character.
Its very strong sillage makes Marrakesh a choice for those who enjoy fragrances that are noticeable in the air and leave a striking impression behind.
It is especially suitable for evenings, cool weather, meetings, formal events and situations where you want to emphasize your individuality.
In a warm climate or a small room, it is best to apply it cautiously: the extrait concentration and rich base develop quickly on the skin.
How the Composition Unfolds
The opening combines coconut, jasmine and rose, so the first minutes balance creamy fruitiness with soft floral freshness.
In the heart, coconut meets coffee, honey and sugar, forming a warm gourmand accord with dessert-like and slightly roasted nuances.
As it develops, amber, a leather accord, oud, rum, tonka bean, vanilla and musk come to the forefront, reinforcing the fragrance's deep oriental character.
Who Marrakesh Is For
Marrakesh is worth considering for anyone looking for a unisex perfume with high longevity, powerful sillage and a pronounced gourmand character.
Coconut and vanilla make the scent appealing to lovers of sweet fragrances, while coffee, rum, leather and oud give it mature spiciness and expressiveness.
This is not a neutral everyday fragrance, but an accent perfume for a particular mood, a special occasion or the cooler season.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided for this release, so it is best to start with one spray on the skin and assess the intensity after 15–20 minutes.
On fabric, the fragrance may last longer and its sillage may feel stronger, so it should be applied to clothing especially sparingly.
There is also no information about the perfumer, collection or other concentrations of Marrakesh.
Similar Fragrances
For comparison, consider Mugler Angel Black Brilliant Star, as well as Mugler Angel Edition Passion and Mugler A*Men Pure Leather.
These fragrances share an interest in rich, memorable and contrasting compositions, but Marrakesh stands out through its combination of coconut, coffee, honey, oud and a leather accord.
It will appeal to those who want to explore the oriental gourmand side of perfumery and prefer an intense scent.
