Like your favorite jeans, faded to perfection, or that linen shirt, softened by years of wear, this is a scent that snuggles comfortably into any mood, any occasion. The first note feels like air before a conversation — citrusy, spiced and sharpened, just enough to hold attention. It opens up into the aromatic smoke of sage and incense, while patchouli and a trace of ambroxan suggest sun-dried earth and aged wood.

Marcelle by Marie Jeanne £110.00

- mandarin
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- woody
Perfumer: Michèle Saramito
A new addition to Bloom’s portfolio, an elegant cologne with sweet sun kissed citruses, honeyed neroli and amber background.
With classic formulas it’s the quality of the ingredients that matters. Marie Jeanne might be a new perfume house, but it’s founded by a young perfumer from a family connected to Robertet for several generations.
Robertet is a bit like De Beers of the fine natural perfume materials - matières premières, for decades they have been dealing with the finest, purest and most precious stuff a perfumer can dream of.
This is Marcelle, a classic elegant cologne but with highly likely the best bergamot from Italy, grapefruit from Spain, neroli from Tunisia and petigrain from Paraguay among other notes in the formula.

Merina, referencing the lushness of Spanish wool, opens with a blissful puff of almond that shapeshifts between floral heliotrope and creamy vanilla. Fennel adds structure to the softness with its delicate aniseed character. Almond and fennel continue to shimmer against each other as heady jasmine and powdery iris gently pulse. The whole effect is intimate and refined, leaving a skin-close trail that wraps you like a veil.
