So, I’ve been on this whole fragrance journey lately, trying to find scents that really speak to me, you know? And let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. Today, I want to share my experience with a fragrance that I’ve been super curious about: Max Mara.

I remember stumbling upon this brand years ago, I used to wear this particular Max Mara perfume. it was one of my absolutely favourite scents. I think it might have been over 15 years ago. Time flies, right? But the memory of that scent lingered, and I just had to revisit it.
I did a bit of digging online, trying to find any info I could about Max Mara’s fragrances. Turns out, they’ve got a few in their lineup. The earliest one launched back in 2004, and the latest was in 2009.
- First Impressions: I finally got my hands on a bottle of their classic scent. The first spritz was like a blast from the past. It starts off citrusy, but it’s a soft, gentle citrus, more like a freshly squeezed orange juice. And then there’s this subtle hint of ginger that adds a little kick.
- The Dry Down: As the fragrance settles, I started picking up on other notes. There was a touch of magnolia, some lily, and maybe even a hint of orchid. It’s like this beautiful floral bouquet, but not too overpowering. It’s got this sweet, easy-to-wear vibe that I really dig.
- Lasting Power: I wore it throughout the day, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it lasted. It wasn’t too strong, but it definitely lingered in a nice, subtle way. I could still catch whiffs of it hours later.
