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 suppliers 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 design, Angelo developed a distinctive eye for detail and mastered the art of creating pieces that merge creativity, individuality, and sophistication.
Born and raised in Curaçao, Angelo's journey eventually 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.
During the global pandemic in 2020, Angelo found himself drawn to the world of fragrance. What began as a personal search for calm and tranquility during an uncertain and chaotic time soon became something much greater. He started experimenting with candle making in the comfort of his attic, finding peace and inspiration in the creative process.
Initially making candles for himself, friends, and family, Angelo gradually discovered a deeper passion for the art of scent creation. The experience opened the door to perfumery, allowing him to explore fragrance as a powerful form of artistic expression, capable of evoking emotions, preserving memories, and creating lasting impressions.
Today, his journey from fashion to fragrance is reflected in every creation. Drawing inspiration from his Caribbean roots, his life in Amsterdam, and his appreciation for craftsmanship, Angelo creates fragrances that bring together heritage, individuality, and sophistication.
For Angelo, perfumery is more than the creation of beautiful scents. It is an expression of identity, emotion, and the art of creating lasting memories.
