Every day's a gamble, isn't it? You win some, you lose some. This morning I decided to randomly choose a perfume…. and for my wild abandon, I got what I deserved.
As soon as I applied Ouarzazate and stood within its aura, I felt… meh. That a perfume which takes its inspiration from the land of harissa, za'atar and ras al hanout should smell so humdrum, so boring, surprised me. There's nothing here I haven't smelled before.
Ouarzazate's base is a combination of nutmeg, musk, and black pepper that has appeared before in a million other perfumes, with much the same results. It's pleasant, likeable, and thoroughly clichéed. Pair it with the right auxiliary elements, and it probably redeems itself in spades. But perhaps Mark Buxton found himself so disinterested in his creation that he abandoned it right at the starting line. There it still stands, alone and exposed. Such neglect, believe me, is not salutary.
Ourzazate has been on my skin now for two hours, and I feel bored to sobs. It's like watching an ensemble cast reunite for their twelfth blockbuster movie. However comforted I might feel by all those trusty familiar faces on the screen, I can't help but notice recycled dialogue, old gags, and a plot line depressingly similar to that of the last film, and the one before that, and the one before that….
What could have been done differently? Oh, so many things. The nutmeg-musk-peppercorn trifecta could have been introduced to some new and startling playmates-- hyssop, spikenard, honey, fenugreek, just to name a few. But no. Clearly no one had been feeling adventurous the day this perfume was created. Its fruity, almost citric peppercorn tries hard to be perky, and the dry, lemony bite of clary sage lends a pale bit interest, and then… whatever.
There's no courage here, no innovation, no daring. The least -- and the most -- I can say is that Ouarzazate smells nice. But today, nice just isn't enough.

Another jewel in our itinerary was Ait-Ben-Haddou, a Kasbah protected by the UNESCO world heritage. This red brick/mud construction has a very urban feel to it. While this is primarily a tourtist/hollyood attraction now, our guide mentioned that a couple of families still live here, approved by the UNESCO, as long as their lifestyle mimics that of historic times - no power, no portable water, no gas...
Situated in the Ourzazate province, Ait-Ben-Haddou was a location for many films. Gladiator, Game of Thrones, Asterix and Obelix, Aladdin, Prince of Persia, the Mummy, The Hills Have Eyes II, Babel, Alexander and Laurence of Arabia.
What we do, who we are, why people trust us We are two partners who studied together at the same university in Marrakech. During our childhood in a small village popular with international tourists, we encountered people all over the world and began to learn international languages, particularly English, French and Spanish. Later on, we found ourselves sharing the same enthusiasm, energy and ideas towards Tourism Industry. Thus, after many experiences as well as many researches related to this field of tourism, we finally came up with this idea which is to make transport pickups and tours operation. Our goals and services We offer a pretty ensemble of multiple excursions and trips from Marrakech to several destenations .For example: to the superb waterfalls of Ouzoud, to the Ourika Valle.Also,trips of few days in Ouarzazate, Zagora and Merzouga to discover the desert’s landscapes.
