Fragrance notes: Hashish / Nag Champa / Mesquite / Vervaine
Originally, the Canal Saint-Martin was created to help the growing population of Paris avoid disease.
It was an effort of purification much like the ancient origins of Nag Champa: clearing energy for meditation in Hindu and Buddhist temples and ashrams of India and Nepal.
In the context of a city, it is discovery through walking that renews us to the dailiness of life.
In Latin it is “solvitur ambulando”, meaning, it is solved by walking.
The French refer to flânerie: seemingly aimless lounging or strolling.

Each fragrance composition is created to serve as an open prompt, meant to provoke associative leaps and interpretation.
We have refined our identity without relying on logos; designing with restraint. An earthy wax, a pop of color. Labels that disappear into the background — subtle and intentional. Our packaging is 100% recyclable, a small reflection of our desire to leave as little behind.
MAR MAR Los Angeles is partnered with Collective Altadena to raise funds in support of those impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires of January 2025. Beyond immediate relief, we hope this effort contributes to education and long-term infrastructure that can help prevent future devastation.
