Geisha Marron EDP

2016
Eau de Parfum
Maria McElroy - Aroma M

Maria: Geisha Marron, takes its inspiration not only from the scent of roasting chestnuts, but also from that even more widespread flavor of autumn  of red and green leaves turning to brown (marron, in French). Brown is surely the most underserved color in all of perfumery. More than any other, it evokes the musty scent of succulent overripeness, of sweetness that dares to skirt the edge of seductive decay. That is Geisha Marron’s most unique quality. Geisha Marron also gives a nod to French perfumery in its use of quintessential French ingredients in this case, muguet, which joins forces with white Japanese magnolia and white chestnut blossom. But brown needs some sparkle to bring out the depth of its toneshence the balancing addition of mandarin, bergamot, and grapefruit.

Dave: Geisha Marron captures the moment in autumn when the leaves have turned to brown against the backdrop of a sunny sky. Sparkling citrus opens into a creamy white floral bouquet of nutty chestnut blossom, Japanese magnolia and muguet -  a touch of honeyed leather and musk maintaining its perfect balance from top to bottom. Classic comfort.

Geisha Marron Notes: Lily of the valley, magnolia, chestnut, mandarin orange, bergamot and grapefruit.
