Replica By the Fireplace
On request
Clean linen, iris and soft white musk
A late wake-up on a sunny Sunday, in freshly washed sheets, with nowhere to be. Replica Lazy Sunday Morning is a delicate floral built around lily of the valley, iris and white musks, with pear and aldehydes on top and a little patchouli underneath. Maison Margiela files it as clean and fresh.

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
Pear accord, lily of the valley accord and aldehydes open the scent. The aldehydes add a crisp, laundered brightness, the pear a light juiciness, and the lily of the valley a cool green floral note. It is the cleanest moment of the scent, meant to suggest linen straight from the line.
The heart turns powdery and rounder. Iris accord gives a smooth, slightly cool powder, rose absolute a petal softness, and the orange flower accord a gentle, creamy sweetness. The flowers stay delicate rather than showy, in keeping with the brand's description.
Indonesian patchouli oil, ambrette seeds absolute and white musks form the base. Ambrette brings a soft, warm, skin-like quality and the musks keep it clean, while the patchouli stays behind them as a little earth. The brand likens the effect to morning sun on skin.
Wearing it
An easy scent for daytime. Apply it after a shower to the neck and inner wrists, where the iris and musks stay close and soft. It suits spring and summer especially, and as an eau de toilette it is light enough for a desk without filling the room.
For people who prefer clean, powdery florals to heavy or sweet ones, and who like a scent that stays quiet. It is listed as unisex. It fits weekend mornings, office days and warm afternoons, and it is a gentle first step into iris and musk.
The memory behind it has no drama, just light, sheets and time, and the notes keep to that quietness. The result is a floral that stays soft, with iris and ambrette giving it a powdery warmth. It dates from 2013 and is credited to Louise Turner.
Questions
Not really. The pear and orange flower accord add a little softness, but the character is clean and powdery, coming from aldehydes, lily of the valley, iris and white musks.
As an eau de toilette it stays soft and close to the skin. White musks and ambrette seed keep it present at a gentle level without projecting hard.
Daytime and mild weather suit it best: spring and summer mornings, office days, a relaxed weekend. On cold evenings, warmer scents will feel more at home.
100 ml. The bottle carries the Replica line's cotton label, which includes a written description of the scent.

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
