The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
A soap bubbles accord, pink pepper essence and bergamot essence open the scent. The bubbles accord gives the airy, rinsed-clean feel, the bergamot a bright citrus lift and the pepper a faint dry sparkle. It is a light, quick start, like steam rising off warm water.
Lavender flower accord, rose superessence and jasmine absolute make up the heart. Lavender brings a soft herbal calm, rose a smooth petal fullness and jasmine a gentle white-floral warmth. The three stay balanced and clean, which is the soothing centre of the bath.
Patchouli essence, coconut milk accord and white musks form the base. The coconut milk adds a creamy, comforting softness, the musks a clean, skin-close warmth, and the patchouli a little earthy depth that grounds the scent. It ends soft, like wrapping up after the bath.
Wearing it
A scent for slowing down: after a shower, before an evening in, at the start of a relaxed day. Apply it to the neck, chest and inner arms, where the lavender and musks stay soft. Two or three sprays suit an eau de toilette, and its clean character fits warm rooms and everyday wear.
For people who like fresh, clean florals with a soft, creamy end, and who see fragrance as a small daily ritual. It is listed as unisex. Spring and summer days, relaxed evenings and anyone who prefers comfort to drama will find it easy to wear.
A long bath is a memory almost everyone knows, and the notes follow it step by step: foam and citrus, the herbal and floral steam, then the soft towel. Violaine Collas is named as its perfumer, and it dates from 2020. The cotton label on the bottle is the Replica way of saying where the scent comes from.
Questions
It leans clean and fresh, with a soap-bubble accord at the start and white musks at the end. The lavender, rose and jasmine in the heart keep it floral rather than purely soapy.
The brand calls it a chypre floral. The flowers are lavender, rose and jasmine, and the patchouli in the base gives the chypre side its depth, in a light, clean way.
It is soft rather than sweet. The coconut milk accord is creamy and comforting, and the white musks and patchouli keep it from turning sugary.
Yes. It is an eau de toilette with a clean, low-key character, so it suits an office, provided you keep to a couple of sprays.
The house
Maison Margiela is a Paris fashion house founded in 1988 by the Belgian designer Martin Margiela. Its fragrance collection Replica turns memories into scent, from a fireplace to a jazz club or a lazy Sunday morning, and every bottle carries a cotton label modelled on the Maison's 1994 Replica garments.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
