Arabiyat Prestige
Marwa
“Bergamot and ginger over black tea and ambroxan — clean, soapy and expensive-smelling. Hot-weather wear that never tries to be clever.”

Ginger, cinnamon and black tea give Arabiyat Prestige's 2025 Marwa a spiced citrus-tea profile over an ambroxan base. Its origin-labelled note list closely mirrors Louis Vuitton's Imagination (2021). Fresh-spicy and amber accords lead, with citrus. The tea and spice give the citrus a dry, slightly smoky warmth, with a woody-resinous finish. A summer and spring daytime scent.
