Know before you buy
It is a fresh, green floral scent that balances bright, crisp top notes like hyacinth and apple blossom with a creamy, white-floral heart of gardenia and tuberose. The experience is grounded by a warm, slightly spicy base of sandalwood and incense, giving it a sophisticated, Mediterranean-inspired depth.
Marseille Memoir is designed as a unisex fragrance. While it features prominent floral notes, the addition of earthy sandalwood, incense, and clove bud provides a grounding, woody quality that makes it versatile for any space.
The 380g size is designed for a long-lasting burn. With proper wick maintenance—keeping the wick trimmed to 6mm before each use—you can expect a significant number of hours of fragrance throw.
It leans toward a fresh, green floral. The inclusion of neroli and apple blossom keeps the scent bright and airy, preventing the heavier gardenia and tuberose notes from becoming overwhelming or cloying.
Yes, the candle comes in an elegant glass jar that is designed to be repurposed. Once the wax is completely used, you can clean out the remaining residue with warm, soapy water to use the vessel for storage or decor.
