Marrakech Imperial

Marrakech Impérial is the first Moroccan Maison de Haute Parfumerie, founded by the Italian-Moroccan designer couple Kenza Snoussi and Massimo Di Nardo.

Nestled on a golf course amidst the palm trees of the city of light, Marrakech, it was in 2020 that this passionate duo, embodying the perfect fusion of the West and the Arab world, embarked on a quest to create one of the world’s rarest and most exquisitely crafted perfume brands. Their mission: to tell the story of the traces left through time by the extraordinary imperial city of Marrakech, paying a masterful tribute to its contemporary royalty—a true land of light and passion, where every individual who has discovered it has lived a unique sensory experience.

The city of a thousand and one nights promises exceptional sensations and inspires the world's top designers from Paris to Milan. To honor this perpetual source of inspiration, our founders are dedicated to preserving Marrakech's rich cultural mosaic. We support the creative talents of today and tomorrow, ensuring the legacy of the red city's unique allure continues to thrive.


Marrakech Impérial combines unique ancestral knowledge with a fusion of styles and cultures, representing the highest quality in the world of creation. The brand's presentation is masterfully directed by the Italo-Moroccan creative duo.

Drawing on their multicultural expertise and commitment to contemporary issues, the brand's creators and top Moroccan design talents played an essential role in creating the first bottle and the imaginative universe of Marrakech Impérial. Their genius for simplicity and sophisticated elegance paves the way for tomorrow's creations.


THE GENIUS OF MAALLEMS

Rosette representing a palm tree in the shape of a fountain to evoke the importance of water inserted in a zellige pattern and the art of Moroccan weaving The vernacular and natural effects of the wind blowing across the sand dunes of the seemingly endless Moroccan Sahara desert.
The shape of the bottle and cap is inspired by the doors of the Imperial Places and the ramparts of the city of Marrakech.


More than a divine symbol, a true trace of Moroccan history, the first bottle from the Maison Marrakech Impérial draws its inspiration from the genius of the Maallems (Moroccan craftsmen) and the art of creating symbols, rosettes and Arabo-Oriental patterns, true gems of Moroccan architecture.

The bottle’s base, inspired by the geometric shape of the sumptuous Bab Agnaou doorway in Marrakech's Kasbah, of royal palatial complexity, rises to a shoulder adorned with brilliant gilding that reflects the reverse of the cap. This subtly light ornament expresses the vernacular and natural effects of the wind blowing across the sand dunes of the seemingly endless Moroccan Sahara Desert.

The cap, shaped like a truncated dome reminiscent of ancient imperial palaces, is intenJonally deconstructed to evoke a sense of incompleteness, symbolizing the incredible legacy of the succession of Sultan-builders who created the masterpiece that is Marrakech.

A symbol of past eras, the imprint on the cap evokes the luxurious Palmeraie of Marrakech. The palm tree motifs, shaped like a fountain, celebrate the vital role of water in the oasis of the red city, seamlessly integrated with designs inspired by the art of zellige and Moroccan craMsmanship.
