I decided to open 2025 with the launch of Marino, one of the most unusual fragrances I've created.

Marino is inspired in the cliffs of Patagonia in early Spring, when the perennial low bushes and seasonal grasses bloom.

To reach the edge of these cliffs, guided tours on horseback riding are the only option, because the lands are either private, or protected in national parks.

The smell of saddles and horses, mixed with the fresh wafts of grasses, is taken to a whole different sensorial experience when the pungent smell of the ocean and seashells hits you from below.

Marino is an amber chypre fragrance punctuated by ambergris and labdanum, dense but fresh and floral thanks to the addition of genet absolute at its heart. It has a strong cold throw and even stronger hot throw, capable of scenting your entire home.

I burn it in the evenings, and occasionally when hosting, since broom is an unusual perfumery accord, it usually makes my guests ask "Wow! What's in it?"
