About the brand
Marcus Elizabeth is a Dutch perfume house devoted to the art of scent and the discipline of timeless design.
Rooted in European artisanal tradition, carried by Afro-Atlantic essence, the brand moves between structure and warmth, precision and atmosphere. Inspired by natural elements and shaped by urban sophistication, each creation reflects a refined and evolving sense of identity. Drawing from shared human experiences across cultures, our work is translated into fragrances with nuance and restraint.
From our Amsterdam atelier, we collaborate with leading fragrance makers across Europe, including Greece, Germany, the United Kingdom, France (Grasse), and the Netherlands. This network allows us to maintain a high standard of craftsmanship and consistency at every stage of creation.
Beyond fragrance, Marcus Elizabeth Artifacts extends this vision into objects of lifestyle and fashion. These pieces translate cultural memory into contemporary form, expressing a modern sense of heritage and belonging.
Our philosophy
Intention
Shaped with care. Every creation begins with purpose. We design perfumes and candles that honour both tradition and innovation, choosing ingredients and materials that respect people and the planet.
Obsession
Perfected in detail. We refine until nothing can be added or removed. From the smallest design element to the last drop of fragrance, our process is driven by craft, quality, and sustainability. Every choice is deliberate, ensuring products that are both sophisticated and responsible.
Ritual
Turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, again and again. Our paraffin-free candles and refined perfumes are gentle on the skin and on the environment, transforming daily moments into conscious acts of beauty, well-being, and care.
Belonging
Fragrance as a shared language. We believe scent moves beyond gender, culture, and convention. Our creations are made to be worn, shared, and experienced by all, embracing individuality while creating space for connection.
The founder & perfumer
Angelo Marcus Elizabeth, the visionary behind Marcus Elizabeth, is a creator driven by a deep connection to craftsmanship and a commitment to artistic expression. With a background in fashion as a designer, Angelo mastered the art of creating pieces that merge creativity and sophistication.
Born and raised in Curaçao, Angelo’s journey led him to Amsterdam, where the city's vibrant, multicultural landscape inspired him to blend the natural warmth of his Caribbean heritage with a refined urban edge.
Angelo eventually transitioned from fashion to the world of perfumery, an art form that not only calms his mind but also allows him to craft beautiful, lasting memories through scent. His journey into fragrance began as a personal hobby, crafting candles in his attic for himself, friends, and family. This hands-on approach quickly grew into a passion for creating scents that captured the essence of his unique cultural background and artistic vision.
