safe & trusted since 1999

Delighted with this purchase. This perfume is so difficult to buy, not usually available in High Street stores. A very subtle perfume, flowery but not overpowering. I just love it!

A beautiful, feminine fragrance.

it is different from everything else and any time i wear it our people - mostly men stop and ask me about the fragrance because they love it....its sort've my trademark at this point...it is now an annual holiday gift i get from my family...one acquaintance even handed me cash to buy some for his girlfriend !

I brought this years ago because I loved the Russian themed bottle and the smell was soapy but intrieging at the same time. I have to say though I am not always confident when I wear it because it is such a unique, different smell that I worry people might hate it. I have had a few comments though from people who were curious as to what the perfume was and they liked it. The best part is it stays on and is not too expensive and definitely doesn't smell like any other perfume and doesn't smell cheap.

OMG OMG I found it i had some from germany about 10 years ago and i loved this smell lol i had a hard time finding the right spelling...People in america watch out here comes a smell you have never smelled........................

I am usually not a hudge fan of such perfume, but this one is really special. It remains rich classic perfume without those old lady bug spray notes. I think it has lot of similarities with Miller Harris perfume created for Jane Birkins. Really special one it is, this Maroussia!

I don't like perfume normally but there is something very alluring about this one. When you first smell it it is too strong but it does grow on you. People always ask me what I am wearing and they can't believe how unusual it is. LOOOve it!!!!

I cannot begin to describe what I feel when I first spray this perfume on! It soothes something inside of me at the very first whiff and continues throughout the day. I, too, bought my first and so far, only bottle when I was overseas, and am glad to find that it is now available through the internet. I have used my bottle very sparingly because I didn't know if I would ever be able to find it again. I will be getting another bottle and wearing it more often! I also agree that it is a very Haunting fragrance, like nothing else I have smelled. It is very individualistic and I love perfumes that have that character.

Hi again Sylvie and thanks for the great description, im sorry to hear you dont like Maroussia, try it again and you might discover the magic of this frag it really is like no other, keep up the good work, bye for now Helen.

I am delighted to finally see this available though I wish the prices were more reasonable. Before, the only way I could get it was when my husband deployed & had a port visit in France! We paid only $20 in France for what is listed at over $70 here. I've been using it only about 4 times a year to make it last, now I can use it more often because I can now easily get more. Beautiful fragrance!

Hi Greekgirl, here two descriptions for Maroussia by Slava Zaitsev for Women: 1. Olfactive family: Floriental. Olfactive description: Fresh Floral Sweet Ambery Powdery. 2. Year Introduced: 1992. Scent Type: Floral - Oriental. Top Notes: Ylang-ylang, narcissus, black currant bud. Heart Notes: Rose, jasmine, orange blossom, lily of the valley. Base Notes: Amber, musk, vanilla, sandalwood. "From Russia with love comes Maroussia, a warm ambery Oriental blend from native son and couturier Slava Zaitsev. The sensual fragrance has mellow fruity top notes, quickly followed by a spicy floral heart that rests against a base accord of smoldering Oriental notes: amber, sandalwood, and vanilla. The haunting melody creates a magnificent trail, or aura. Elegant and original. Bottled in Moscow, Maroussia resides in ruby red and gold-colored flacons inspired by Russian Orthodox church domes. Close your eyes and imagine the snowy sleigh scenes from Doctor Zhivago. The romance of Russia...Maroussia. "© - Scent Profile by Jan Moran author Fabulous Fragrances II © 2006". - Maroussia and Gloria Vanderbilt are popular bestsellers in Germany since they came out. You can get both fragrances in drugstores and perfume shops and they are not expensive. I try hard to like Maroussia - but unfortunately I don't like it very much. The fragrance smells for my nose dark like liquorice. Maroussia is very unique and special and therefore I rate it "good".

I cant believe theres no comments here already on this beautiful and haunting fragrance, theres nothing like it, never found another fragrance to match this one, its very popular here in Australia, its a topseller, beautiful, sexy, and unforgettable.
