ROHAN MARLEY for Fragrance

Rohan Marley’s earliest olfactory memories are steeped in the scents of his childhood: the mint and sage his mother used in her cooking, the fresh sweetness of the outdoors, and the comforting aroma of laundry drying in the sun. These sensory experiences shaped his understanding of fragrances, a passion that has now culminated in the launch of Marley Fragrance, a collection inspired by his father, the legendary Bob Marley. The collection, divided into three distinct lines, embodies Bob Marley’s enduring messages of love, unity, and harmony. Developed in collaboration with IMH Fragrance, a luxury niche fragrance house, the scents were crafted by master perfumers Doug Falcone, Yann Vasnier, Kevin Scozzaro, and Clement Gavarry. The Marley Fragrance Private Sensory Launch, hosted at the scenic Gap Café in Jamaica, offered guests an immersive experience. Against the backdrop of the Blue Mountains, attendees explored the fragrances’ intricate notes, guided by experts like Gavarry and Rachael Larsen. The event featured a curated meal by Chef Alexa Von Strolley, blending culinary artistry with fragrance. Highlights included Place of Peace, a soothing scent with agave and Earl Grey tea notes, and Mellow Mood, Rohan’s personal favorite. The collection not only celebrates Bob Marley’s legacy but also invites a new generation to connect with his values through the art of scent.
