Christopher Marlowe was the brilliant bad boy of Elizabethan theater. He was handsome and good-natured, but also a spy and an apprentice of the occult – not to mention his rivalry with fellow playwright Shakespeare. Marlowe led a turbulent and free-spirited life; he was fascinated by the self-destructive power of the human mind, which he shares with modern plays.
With “Marlowe,” Jardins d'Écrivains gives shape to Elizabethan scholarship through unbridled enthusiasm. This fragrance is intense, beguiling, wild, and theatrical. The top notes reveal the intoxicating nectar of tuberose mixed with osmanthus. The heart is the Elizabethan story of unrequited love, where innocent dried flowers are seduced by the rich and exotic notes of precious myrrh. The theatrical base of powdered leather and mossy animal notes brings Marlow's daring character to life and recalls the mysterious legends that surround his short life.
