Marcus Oyelaran

Marcus Oyelaran has spent fourteen years in professional fragrance consultancy, advising private clients and retail houses across Lagos and London. He tests every fragrance he reviews on his own skin through a complete wear cycle, logging longevity at fixed intervals, documenting batch variation, and recording how each composition behaves in different climates. His reviews are known for their honesty: he names the flaws as readily as the virtues, and he has never rated a fragrance a perfect 10. Marcus owns a personal collection of over 300 bottles and has worn some signature fragrances through seven or more bottles across a decade.
