Marquetry

Marquetry by Etro is a softly enveloping fragrance with a prominent lavender opening that quickly evolves into a smooth, creamy amber-vanilla base. The balance between aromatic lavender, balsamic resin, and sweet tonka bean gives it a comfort-oriented character that feels modern yet nostalgic, evoking vintage colognes and the nostalgic warmth of talcum powder. Its sillage is moderate to strong, and longevity is moderate to long, making it noticeable but not overpowering. The scent unfolds in layers—initially clean and fresh, then gradually deepening with ambery, sweet, and lightly herbal notes, particularly galbanum, which gives a subtle bitter resistance. It’s universally wearable, with most reactions favoring its unisex appeal and comforting depth, though some note the absence of woodiness despite the name. Overall, it's a well-balanced, quietly compelling scent that favors warmth and softness over boldness.
