The Best Way to Discover Your Favorite ‘Replica’ Fragrance
Designer fragrances can be a hit or a miss, but I feel like Maison Margiela has been consistently amazing. This iconic fashion house created some of the most beloved fragrances that defined the last decade, and can still be spotted on the vanities across the globe, from celebs and billionaires, to influencers and regular consumers. One of the defining characteristics that makes this line timeless is the packaging consistency. That bottle you bought 8 years ago and the one you picked up last year will look identical side by side. This chic and minimalist design influenced by the look of classic apothecary jars has universal appeal. Each bottle carries a cotton label with black ink text and a rope-wrapped pump as an homage to the namesake couture line.
Perfume tops the charts as one of the most popular gifts for women, but it’s easy to buy the wrong thing since fragrance preferences are so individual. Some of us like fresh and airy scents, others prefer sweet and delicious gourmands, and don’t forget the classic powdery florals or woody musks that sit close to skin. This is where discovery sets come in!
In time for spring, Maison Margiela released ‘REPLICA’ Memory Box Mini Perfume Sampler Set ($39) that comes with 10 vials of their best-selling fragrances. Each vial contains a couple days worth of perfume, enough to give it a try and test how a particular scent works with your body chemistry.
The set comes with the following scents:
- Lazy Sunday Morning
- Jazz Club
- Beach Walk
- Sailing Day
- Autumn Vibes
- By the Fireplace
- Bubble Bath
- Under the Lemon Trees
- Springtime in a Park
- When the Rain Stops
If I had to choose just one favorite, I’d go with By the Fireplace. It’s a warm and comforting scent that takes me back to the crisp summer evenings in the countryside. A happy time when I was just a kid, life was simple, my grandparents were still around, and the world felt so big. I don’t have many photos of those times, but scents [and flavors] have a unique power to awaken the memories you thought you’d forgotten.
If you want to gift someone an experience like this, definitely check out Maison Margiela ‘REPLICA’ Memory Box Mini Perfume Sampler Set. Available exclusively at Sephora.
