Marsten & Marwood is the curious collection of exquisite, rare & peculiar fragrances handmade by Barnaby Black.  Formulated with high quality, natural aromatics & raw botanicals, blended to perfection for the curious fragrance connoisseur. 

Dark comes the night, cloaked in the warmth of spice, leather, and smoke. Passge of Darkness is an elixir imagined from folklore—born in rum-soaked taverns where spice merchants told stories under lantern light on islands bathed by ocean breezes. It is both shadow and flame, mystery and revelation.

A flash of grapefruit peel and citron cuts through the dusk, sharp and bright, before yielding to the resinous pull of green and red cedar. Amyris, West Indies bay leaf, and the rare spice of illicium mingle with allspice liqueur, drawing you deeper into its intoxicating heart.

As the night matures, Haitian vetiver, myrrh, and dark patchouli unfurl, threaded with black pepper, cardamom, and coriander. A final whisper of cocoa and tonka bean lingers on the skin—dark, sweet, and undeniably dangerous.

Step into the unknown. In the passage through darkness lies the path to light.
