Three sprays give you a soft halo that lasts through the afternoon.

Slava Zaitsev Maroussia hits the air with a brisk, soapy rush of aldehydes, crisp bergamot, and sweet orange blossom that immediately brings to mind frosty morning air. As the initial fizzy burst settles, a dense core of spicy carnation, creamy ylang-ylang, and buttery tuberose unfolds across the skin, giving the fragrance a rich, floral warmth. The base turns deep and cozy with amber, smooth sandalwood, and a noticeable touch of animalic civet wrapped in sweet vanilla.
