What is MARSE?
MARSE is short for Memorable Aromas, Sublime Experience.
So, who’s creating these perfumes at MARSE?
Each MARSE perfume is personally crafted by Regina Marselia (RM), the founder and scent designer of the brand.
A self-taught scent designer, she began her perfume journey through self-study and local workshops, sourcing high-quality essential oils to experiment and refine her craft. Continually expanding her knowledge through reading and hands-on practice, she approaches fragrance creation with passion and curiosity. An introvert by nature with little social media presence, she prefers to stay behind the scenes, letting her creations speak for themselves. When not crafting perfumes, she enjoys morning yoga, painting, and staying inspired by current events and pop culture. With a background in interior design and a love for art and storytelling, she sees perfume as a way to escape reality, where time stands still and to craft immersive experiences.
How MARSE works?
We’ve created this page just for you! Please take a moment to read through How We Work to better understand our workflow and dedication to crafting each bottle with care and passion.
Where do you create the perfume?
We’re an indie perfume brand, not some big fancy corporation. Our little lab and studio are nestled on the most populated island in Indonesia, specifically in Depok, West Java. And here we are, handcrafting and packing your perfumes.
Does a perfume’s aroma change from batch to batch?
Not really. But it’s nature, even the same flower doesn’t grow the same every time. But don’t freak out, your perfume will still have you smelling like a snack.
Are all the ingredients you use derived from natural sources?
We use a blend of both essential oils and high-quality synthetic materials, just like those found in luxury perfumes.
What’s MARSE inspiration for creating perfumes?
We read, we sniff and play around until something smells amazing.
How long will the perfume scent stay?
MARSE Eau de Parfum offers a lasting scent experience, typically staying on your skin for 4–8 hours.
However, its longevity can vary based on individual body chemistry, lifestyle, and activities, making each wear uniquely personal.
So, where is the best spot to spray?
It’s everywhere you want—no lie.
Make sure to spray the perfume from 15–30 cm away so the liquid doesn’t drip onto your skin.
Small tip: spray on your arms, wrists, neck, behind your ears, and your chest. On moisturized skin, the perfume will stick longer, so prep with unscented lotion before spraying to make it last. Also, don’t worry about stains on your clothes—we don’t use any coloured ingredients, so it’s completely safe.
Does MARSE test its perfumes on animals ?
Hell nah. We absolutely don’t harm animals in the process of making MARSE perfumes.
We’re proudly cruelty-free—always have been, and always will be.
Where is the best place to keep my perfumes ?
Stay away from the sun and heat, period. Keep your perfumes in a cool, dry place—please. Try your nightstand, cabinet, or console table, they make great little decorations for your space. And if you want to keep it in a mini fridge? Totally acceptable too.
