BaM’s Marilyn is a scent that I only understood after trying the EdT. I didn’t understand how the soap scent related to Will’s description of it, nor to his motivations for naming the scent Marilyn. I bought a soap sample first, thought the scent was a “miss”, but purchased the EdT because I was intrigued, somehow. The EdT allowed me to understand what Will was going for and to find traces of the notes that I was missing in the soap. Now, this is one of my favorite BaM scents.
