Marmara

The bottle design foreshadows which direction this fragrance goes; it is a clean, sharp freshness that quickly transitions into powdered & smooth elegance, it also has a mineral or metallic nuance that gets balanced by warmer, amber & musk base notes. Smells like being in an ancient bathhouse built out of beautiful ivory colored marble. And it evokes that feeling too. Clean, serene, and devoid of any contaminants, that could weigh down or muddle its ethereal, stoic, and transparent character. Marmara isn’t unisex but rather genderless; it is sterile and solemn, radiant and uncorrupted.

This is amazing. The powdery note and saffron is very noticeable in the opening and the bergamot is just in the background. As it settles, i smell more of that powdery note until the dry down where the musk comes along with it. I have not smelled the Amouage purpose 50 but the bois imperial i have a decant of, so i blind bought this with the scent of it in my mind and it did not disappoint. I’d say it’s safe in hot and cold weather but not safe for blindbuy if you do not have any idea of the two fragrances it is being compared to.

Very nice fragrance, but it definitely benefits from a long maceration. I left mine for 6–7 months, and the difference was remarkable. At first, it had a harsh metallic smell, but that has completely disappeared. It has now developed into a beautiful Amouage Putpose scent that I really enjoy. The performance is slightly above average, which is good enough for me. Overall, I'm very happy with it.

I tried Purpose 50 and Decision from Amouage and this one is closer to Decision....but lets put that aside. This does his own thing....and it does it pretty darn well. Such a lovely fragrance. Its like Amouage decided to do something mass appealing in the PP50 and Decision category. Also out of the box performance seems to be very good. Ill give it a 9. Such fun one and moreso DIFFERENT

I don't know what to make of this scent. I can't use it at work. It smells like a happy meal toy. It makes me laugh. It's such a fun scent. Hahahahaha. I think this is better than bois imperial and purpose 50 but if it's any consolation, it is far from both. I get the comparisons but if you have smelled all 3, to say that this is the combination of the other 2 is strange.
