Morocco Eau de Parfum Cologne

Morocco. Eau de Parfum.

In Morocco, your senses stop taking turns. Everything arrives at once — the dust, the sweetness, the smoke, the shadow of walls that have absorbed five centuries of spice trade.

You don't visit Morocco. You're absorbed by it.

This fragrance begins where the medina does: vivid, disorienting, alive. Blackberry and plum cut through the heat like color through smoke. Then the city slows you down, as it always does. Honey. Warm wood. The cool of a tiled courtyard after hours in the sun, the kind of relief that makes you stop walking and just breathe.

By nightfall, you've stopped trying to navigate. Incense climbs the walls of an open courtyard. Amber and labdanum settle into the stone like last light. Leather, sandalwood, the spice that's been on your hands all day. It all becomes part of you, the way the city does.

You wear Morocco the way a place wears you. Long after you've left, it stays.

The inspiration behind this fragrance

There is a question at the heart of every great fragrance. Ours was simple: what does it smell like the moment you step out of the sunlight and into the shade of the medina?

Not a souk in a tourist brochure. The real thing. Narrow enough that strangers share the same shadow. Stalls piled with saffron, cumin, dried rose petals, and resins you don't have a name for. Cedar smoke drifting from somewhere deeper in. The sweetness of fruit in the heat.

That moment of arrival, disorienting and alive and impossible to forget, is what Morocco is built from.

F.A.Q.

Q: Is this fragrance for a man or a woman?

A: This fragrance smells great on men and women!

Q: Is this a perfume or cologne?

A: Actually, it is an Eau de Parfum (EdP). Eau de Parfum is a historically genderless term used to describe both men’s and women’s fragrances.

Generally, an Eau de Toilette concentration can range between 5% and 12%, while an Eau de Parfum concentration can range between 12% and 18%, although the concentrations of EDT versus EdP can vary.

EdP contains a higher concentration of essential/fragrance oils than Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne and Eau de Fraiche.

In other words, our Eau de Parfum has a higher concentration of fragrance, which results in a longer-lasting and more aromatic application.

Our Eau de Parfum contains 12% pure perfume essence and can last for about three to eight hours depending on your skin's chemistry. 

Q: What is the best way to apply Barberry Coast fragrances?

A: The fragrancex website has a great "how-to" on applying fragrances that we've adapted here for our Barberry Coast fragrances.

1. Apply right after you shower onto dry skin. The shower cleanses your body of any other scents and opens your pores, which helps the scent absorb. Completely dry your skin and then spray.
2. Hold the spray bottle 3–6 inches from your body. If you hold the bottle any closer you risk over-applying; any further and you will likely under-apply.
3. Apply cologne to heated areas of your body. The heat helps diffuse the scent throughout the day and allows it to meld with your body chemistry to develop your signature scent. Heated areas include your neck, chest, pulse points, forearms or inner elbows. 
4. Start with a light application. If you are new to using fragrances do not apply the EdP to all of the aforementioned heated body areas. Choose one area and start with one spray. If you notice that your scent fades quickly, choose another area and spray the fragrance there the next time you apply. You might want to ask the opinion of a close friend or family member if the application is appropriate, as you can become nose-blind to scents you wear often.

Top 3 Common Mistakes in Applying Fragrances

• Mistake #1: Spraying the fragrance on your clothing. Spraying cologne directly on your clothes prevents them from mixing with your natural oils, which is what gives them their unique quality. This can also prevent the scent from going through its scent stages, rendering the scent flat and monochrome. Finally, spraying a fragrance directly on clothing can be harmful to some fabrics.

• Mistake #2: Spraying a mist cloud and walking through it. While it may seem like this method prevents over-application, it actually renders the cologne almost useless. The majority of your cologne needs to be placed on your body, and applying cologne this way means most of it ends up on the floor.

• Mistake #3: Rubbing the fragrance onto the skin. Rubbing the cologne into your skin actually makes the scent fade faster as it breaks the molecular bond in the fragrance. If you’re not going to spray the fragrance then simply dab, but don’t rub.
