They come in two sizes, a small one to check things out 30ml at $70 and a big one 100ml for $165.
The thing I like most about this fragrance line is it’s sort of non fragrance. A big step away from the heady, musky oud fragrance of very fashionable and popular Creed or Tom Ford.
With names like “after the rain” “sailing day” “beach walk” and “springtime in the park” these scents are atmospheric reminders of the things we do that bring us pleasure, a reminder to get out of reminiscing about the past or worrying about the future but to get into the moment instead.
I like the philosophy of the fragrance story as much as the fragrances themselves, each one a small step away from the previous one but not so dramatic you’ll love one and hate another. The most difficult part of buying a bottle of Replica is to decide which one you like the best.
I am currently wearing when the rain stops that said I like quite a few of them, why the ensemble offering, a small taste of all of them is good option for the undecided,
Where you can get a memory box, aptly named of all 10 fragrances in 12ml samples for about $50.
It’s a great way to start, layering and experimenting you can create a unique personal concoction or decided which you love the most before investing the big bucks.
The packaging is clean and simple and aesthetic I like, a little medical, or little historical, heavy glass bottles with type written labels give an old apothecary vibe, again less is definitely more here.
They are atmospheric reminders of happy times with dates and provenance and I get that. I am very sensitive to scent and get an enormous amount of pleasure from this one of my five senses. Whenever I encounter a scent garden I always take it in and at the beach all the magnolia jasmine honeysuckle family of white flowers thrive in the Californian climate. These notes are ever present in this gorgeous fragrance suite.
But the very best thing for me about this subtle fragrance line, the quality and power to hold and give lasting enduring pleasure.
How many scents can you put on for dinner and still smell distinctly in the morning and this quality alone makes Maison Margela Replica perfumes worth the money.
