MARC CAIN Mysteriously
Renowned brand Marc Cain recently launched its first perfumes line, comprising three different fragrances. The new Marc Cain Beauty label is aimed at the premium customer who already purchases clothing from the brand. WORDS MARISA CUTILLAS
“With this exclusive range of fragrances, we are now looking to extend our large portfolio on the one hand and also appeal to our target groups on the other. Just like with our fashion collections, the focus is on the development of high-quality products that surprise and inspire,” says Helmut Schlotterer, of the Management Board. The exquisite fragrances were developed by perfumers Corinne Cachen, Maarten Schoute and Michel Almairac. Mysteriously was developed with the headstrong woman in mind. “It is a homage to women surrounded by an aura of mystery and who, driven by passion, can achieve anything they set out to,” said Michael Förster, Chief Creative Officer of the fragrance manufacturer Lyrique Parfums from Switzerland. The sensual scents are as unique as the premium fashions by Marc Cain and are presented in sleek, minimalistic bottles. This experimenting with unusual contrasts builds up an air of suspense and also defines Marc Cain’s fashion collections.
MARC CAIN MYSTERIOUSLY NO.1 Fragrance note: Fruity-oriental Fragrance intensity: Freshly intense The eau de parfum stands out with its intense, fresh and oriental composition. It opens with top notes of Sicilian bergamot, a refreshing citrus component. The fruity finish is perfected with sweet mandarin, apple and a hint of marigold. Its flowery heart note, a combination of sensual jasmine and delicate rose, is rounded off by spicy cinnamon and liquorice accents. Finally, the base note unites refined precious ingredients: benzoin, incense, tonka bean, vanilla and musk. The result is an atmospheric elixir with a unique allure and a modern twist.
MARC CAIN MYSTERIOUSLY NO.2 Fragrance note: Floral-oriental Fragrance intensity: Powdery intense The second signature fragrance by Marc Cain is based on a composition of tonka bean, powdery vanilla and luxurious musk. The fresh and spicy top note with bergamot, clove and cinnamon opens up the fragrance in a magical way. In the heart note, floral accords are provided by a mix of jasmine, rose, heliotropin and lily of the valley. Warm sandalwood gives this feminine bouquet an incredible elegance and takes the wearer on an extraordinarily mysterious and seductive journey through the wonders of the Orient.
MARC CAIN MYSTERIOUSLY NO.3 Fragrance note: Woody-spicy Fragrance intensity: Voluminously intense The third fragrance reveals itself as uniquely expressive with unusual depth thanks to its striking signature – the duo of seductive sandalwood and cedarwood. The top note stands out with tangy fresh grapefruit nuances, as well as incense, and the rare tree resin, elemi. In the base note, the combination of musk, tonka bean and vanilla bourbon results in a velvety finish that loses itself in deep sensuality.
