   Proof of how a name can completely skew my perception of scent. Could have sworn when I put this on that it was the scent of beeswax, honey and a bit of light wood – and I liked it a lot even though it was indeed on the sweet side. Sort of like a very very classy organic furniture polish. That’s because I was free-associating with the word “Marquetry” … and enjoying the scent a lot. Must have been all the Tonka I suppose. Dithered a lot over it, because I found it hugely appealing and comfort-smelling, though too sweet for comfort.
   Then I look at it on here and see that it’s not a wood fragrance at all, apparently, and is also chock full of overbearing notes I usually can’t stand, or need to keep in minimal ratios to enjoy something at all(lavender? peach, for the love of Frags?)
   Yet Marquetry isn’t overbearing at all – it’s just a warm and polished comfort scent. Not out of this world original, but very nice indeed. Big sillage but only medium longevity. Often keenly priced, as well. I’m still a bit on the fence maybe.

   I’ve always been fascinated by the smell of lavender, but somehow never managed to find the right lavender fragrance. The only lavender that I could somehow like on me was Penhaligon’s Lavandula, but this, too, sometimes didn’t agree with my nose, smelling a bit sharper that I wished.
   The problem is, smells are connected to our memories, and lavender has forever been an after-shave, cologne, shaving foam note in our experiences, right?
   And yet, nothing compares to the smell of an open field of lavender, or just a simple bush planted in a garden. It smells like spring turning into summer, delicious and fresh.
   Enter Marquetry. Marquetry is very lavender-y, if you want to know, but there’s a bunch of actors coming into play, of which the most prominent are pasty, powdery and deep Peru Balsam, Tonka Bean and Musk, plus some Vanilla and a delicious soft amber, so the end result is an abstraction of lavender, dressed in a blanket of fluffy notes which take away all the sharpness, the tanginess and the after-shaviness.
   Oh, don’t forget the galbanum. You know that effervescent, acidic sparkling note you smell in Chanel Cristalle? Well, it’s magic, when it’s tastefully inserted in a perfume, and here, too, it peeks up in a festive, cheerful way, to make this fragrance pleasant both in winter and summer.
   I love it.

   A very interesting combination of lavender and amber. It opens quite clean and fresh with the lavender being the clear main character. After about an hour the creamy amber and vanilla take the main stage but there’s a boldness lingering in the background which makes it very unisex. Great work, Etro!

   My sample arrived today, thank you! 🙂 I find this a very calming scent so far, just puts me in a better mood. Definitely unisex however the vanilla keeps it feminine enough for me. I love the lavender with peach and amber; so soothing. Reminds me slightly of old-fashioned cologne but with a modern twist. Shame about the price tag though.

   I can detect very powerful peru balsam, reminding me an ink. and labdanum-tonkabean-vanilla mixing. quite good, well balanced.

   I like this, I find it a relaxing and comforting scent. To my nose, the initial hit is lavender, beautiful French lavender. It does smell like a traditional cologne but then, very slowly morphs into a woody, amber-peach. It’s not ground-breaking, but there’s just something about it.

   Surely this must be a new one but Etro has already made a perfume with this name in the 1989/ begin of 90s.
   The old version of Marquetry featured notes of
   geranium
   oriental rose
   egyptian jasmine
   lavender
   camomile
   castoreum and light vanilla.. so it was written on the vial envelope.
   It was a bit weird and old style but dry, woody and elegant like a warm oriental cologne for man.

   Beautiful bottle, let’s hope it’s not all hype like their last release.
