Sebastian, I'm Pietro in Palm Beach and admire your work. My favorite perfume was Giorgio VIP Special Reserve from about 1987. I have 1ml left from a $2500 eBay purchase. I've smelled hundreds hundreds and nothing melds with my own self like this fragrance. Have you covered this my friend? I can send you my 1 mL. Cheers. Peter
Have you tried Pour Lui by Oscar De La Renta? I haven't compared but some people say it is similar. Sadly I can't help you though that's also a very pricey purchase! Ouch! :(
The choice to stick to the "replica" concept was honestly very smart for Maison Margiela. It prevents flankers and promotes creativity/unique accords. It really sets them apart as a designer fragrance brand
I really rate this Margiela line, my favourite in the designer realm. Whispers in the Library used to be my fave but it became somehow metallic as it aged. So now my top 3 are: Jazz Club, Bubble Bath and Matcha Meditation.
Lipstick On - just finished a bottle, such a shame they discontinued this one. My favorite lipstick scent, doesn't smell old / vintage. Everything about it is just perfect. Ladies, get yourself a sample if you get a chance and you will enjoy it 100%
Whispers in the Library works really well on me. Jazz Club is probably my favorite. Can't do By The Fireplace after wildfires in my area a couple years ago. Driving through the burn after it rained... it smells the same! They all have amazing performance too. I have an old bottle of Moonwalk I never wear, too soapy.
I've had Whispers in the Library since Dec 2022 and only started wearing it this January - somehow I couldn't get into it, and now, magically, I really enjoy it.
Hey Sebastian !😀 By the Fireplace is my favorite too 🤗 I am on my third bottle . I got Whispers in the Library last year and it’s so good !! I also like Autumn Vibes and Lazy Sunday Morning 🥰 Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤
I was gifted Lazy Sunday Morning & although it wouldn't be my 1st choice, l enjoy it. Coffee Break, By The Fireplace & Beach Walk appeal but not sure l would spend the $215 AUD for the short longevity.
I think this is my favorite designer brand. I really like the philosophy behind the replica line. I agree with you, By the Fireplace is my favorite from them. I wonder what are your thoughts about the newest release from them, From the Garden.
I have Under the Lemon Trees and use it to layer on Xerjoff Lira to keep the citrus top note fresh. I would love to find a bottle of Soul of the Forest and I am buying By the Fireplace today. Wonderful review, Sebastian, as always. 💖💖
Great list! I layer lemon tree with DG devotion. I have about 6...love on a date, the rain one is a nice freshy but i guess didnt do well. I like jazz club and i wear BTF to bed.
I have never tried Lipstick On but I’ve heard that Sensuous Stars by Estée Lauder has some similarities. It has a kind of lipstick-y makeup vibe from the orris. The plum and lavender in the opening is really nice too. Not a dupe but it might scratch that itch. I love it anyway!
Sad you didnt mention Dancing on the Moon, another black bottle. Such a gorgeous scent, so glad I was able to grab a bottle before it was discontinued.
There are so many I enjoy from this line but it gets overwhelming. From the Garden is lovely but waiting for warmer weather. My next pickups will likely be Coffee Break and Autumn Vibes. Also interested in When the Rain Stops to add to my freshies.
Funfair Evening.....I still can't get over that I never bought a bottle. Went for BTF at the time....which I later sold because everybody was wearing it.
16:26 Hi Sebastian,Maison Margiela just launched officially in South Africa,and Whispers in the library is part of the lineup,so I’m not sure it has been discontinued!(I bought a bottle of course haha!)
Oh yes Whispers in the Library is a favorite of mine. Thank god I have a backup bottle and I have almost half full bottle as well. So I think I'm all set with WITL. Thanks for a great video.
I’m weird!! I’m just finally starting to like matcha after a bad experience at Dunkin ( I’m in MA 🤷♀️) ha well the Matcha from there was gross! It was a mix of grass and 🐟 smell! I tried it again from Starbucks it was great!! But I’m afraid of this matcha perfume!!?
I haven't really gotten into this brand. I received a bottle of Jazz Club in a GQ subscription box along with a sample of by the Fireplace, but they are the only ones I've tried. They're ok, but they wear pretty thin. That has kind of turned me off because I like strong fragrances. I may check out a few more, though. I do like the sound of Under the Stars and Whispers in the Library. Thanks for sharing!
I have "Under the Lemon Tree" and "By the Fireplace" and for some reason I'm just not interested in sampling or buying any more bottles. To me the frags are too expensive for what you get. If they were each $40 I would have the entire collection. To me that's all they are worth.
Love watching your videos, Sebastian. I learn so much from you, and discover something new with every video....🙌👏....Can you give any feedback on Mutiny EDP?
I’ve only found Jazz Club to interest me from this house. I’m not sure why the others don’t work for me. I’ve tried multiple discovery sets but can’t find anything that wows me.🤷🏽♀️
I got the samples. They are very weak, for the price. I DID smell, and LOVE - Under the Stars. Which was woody, but so delicious. It was stronger than the others, too.
Yes, Jazz Club also doesn't intrigue me much either, just a like, not a love. It has some cononut-like nuance, which seems borderline clashing to my nose.
I only have Beach Walk, I was interested in Music Festival and Jazz Club but the collection in general doesn't appeal to me, maybe I need to try a discovery set. Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!
My favorite is By the Fireplace. It's the best from the line and it's just perfection in my opinion. And I can't stand Jazz Club. I just don't get the hype around that scent. Coconut booze and tobacco? No thank you.
Sebastian, I would never thought you out of all people would miss one great product from this house. "Across Sands" the black bottle edition. And by the way, I manage to pick up "Wicked Love" and "Flying" here in Europe in December. Nonetheless, great Top selection!
Very hyped up and overpriced. No longevity at all. Owned by L'Oreal and worth half what they are charging. Pleasant scents but zero sillage no depth. Much better high end fragrances out there
The problem isn't the concentration. They tend to use a lot more naturals which tends to make the fragrance lighter. You should watch ATH so you learn why things aren't as strong as others.

not with such poor longevity and projection sadly.
@@isobel64 true, they are edts but i was talking scent-wise 😅
It's because they use natural ingredients lol @@isobel64
I really rate this Margiela line, my favourite in the designer realm. Whispers in the Library used to be my fave but it became somehow metallic as it aged. So now my top 3 are: Jazz Club, Bubble Bath and Matcha Meditation.
Whispers in the Library turned on me too! I thought it was just my skin chemistry.
@@carashobby interesting!
My faves are beach walk, by the fireplace and jazz club.
Lipstick On - just finished a bottle, such a shame they discontinued this one. My favorite lipstick scent, doesn't smell old / vintage. Everything about it is just perfect. Ladies, get yourself a sample if you get a chance and you will enjoy it 100%
Lipstick On was truly wonderful, to me was the exact smell of an old lipstick! Gutted that is discontinued!
By the fireplace, coffee break, whispers in library my favorite. Love the gourmand. Gr8 video.
So good!
Love this brand! My favorite is Bubble Bath. I also enjoy Lazy Sunday Morning, Coffee Break, and Jazz Club. Thanks for the awesome video!
Female subscriber here… My favorites are Jazz Club, Whispers in the Library, By the Fireplace, Coffee Break, Music Festival and Lipstick On (RIP).
My top 3 are Coffee break, Beach walk and Jazz club. I really want to try By the fireplace and lazy Sunday and I like also Matcha Meditation

Whispers in the Library is really one of my favorites from Replica. I need to buy an extra bottle soon
From the Garden!! My favorite after By the fireplace
Hey Sebastian !😀 By the Fireplace is my favorite too 🤗 I am on my third bottle . I got Whispers in the Library last year and it’s so good !! I also like Autumn Vibes and Lazy Sunday Morning 🥰 Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤
I personally like Coffee Break the best. I like the blend of Lavender with the sweetness.
I completely agree with you on By the Firewood! I just ordered it a couple of days ago. Very comforting! Thank you Sebastian!
I was gifted Lazy Sunday Morning & although it wouldn't be my 1st choice, l enjoy it. Coffee Break, By The Fireplace & Beach Walk appeal but not sure l would spend the $215 AUD for the short longevity.
Thank you for another review. Beach Walk is my favorite! Edited to add, I'm suprised there's no salt note.
Hey Seb , when the rain stops is a nice one.
I think this is my favorite designer brand. I really like the philosophy behind the replica line. I agree with you, By the Fireplace is my favorite from them. I wonder what are your thoughts about the newest release from them, From the Garden.
I have Under the Lemon Trees and use it to layer on Xerjoff Lira to keep the citrus top note fresh. I would love to find a bottle of Soul of the Forest and I am buying By the Fireplace today. Wonderful review, Sebastian, as always. 💖💖
Flying, Soul of the Forest, and Dancing on the Moon are available for purchase again on MM.
Great list! I layer lemon tree with DG devotion. I have about 6...love on a date, the rain one is a nice freshy but i guess didnt do well. I like jazz club and i wear BTF to bed.
I will never get over the fact that I didn't get Lipstick On before it was discontinued...
Same it haunts me!!!
I’ve heard the fragrance that comes closest to it is Jimmy Choo Iris Crush. Apparently it’s very close according to reviews I’ve read!
@@hannahyalea Thank you! Will look into it 😃
I have never tried Lipstick On but I’ve heard that Sensuous Stars by Estée Lauder has some similarities. It has a kind of lipstick-y makeup vibe from the orris. The plum and lavender in the opening is really nice too. Not a dupe but it might scratch that itch. I love it anyway!
Great list Sebastian, we both agree on #1 for sure. I wish I could have tried Whispers in the Library and Coffee Break. Cheers Brutha 😎
I love these “Best Of” videos, very informative. Your scent descriptions are 👩🍳👌I need to try to track down some Tea Escape 🤤
I really want to get my nose on From the Garden as the newest from this range! I love a tomato leaf note.
same! I was hoping it would be somewhere here
Sad you didnt mention Dancing on the Moon, another black bottle. Such a gorgeous scent, so glad I was able to grab a bottle before it was discontinued.
In a previous video, he said he didn't like it.
I loved that one too! Probably my favourite of them all 😢
It’s back! It’s in a EDP form that come out today on their website
I love love love On a Date! It feels so original and I am just obsessed with the blackcurrant!!
I was just thinking about this brand earlier! Thanks for the vid!
Glad it was helpful!
I really dig “Under the Stars” . Very wearable “oud” for beginners.
Yeah, by far the best.. theres no way he has smelled it yet for this video.
There are so many I enjoy from this line but it gets overwhelming. From the Garden is lovely but waiting for warmer weather. My next pickups will likely be Coffee Break and Autumn Vibes. Also interested in When the Rain Stops to add to my freshies.
Always get compliments when wearing Matcha Mediation
That's great!!
My go to always!!
Great video Sebastian.
These fragrances have no longevity on my skin. Will you please make an alternative option video for these replica fragrances.
I’m so glad you are doing this review ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!‼️
Funfair Evening.....I still can't get over that I never bought a bottle. Went for BTF at the time....which I later sold because everybody was wearing it.
16:26 Hi Sebastian,Maison Margiela just launched officially in South Africa,and Whispers in the library is part of the lineup,so I’m not sure it has been discontinued!(I bought a bottle of course haha!)
untitled, promenad, soul forest, fireplace, coffe break, under lemon tree for me 👍maybe sailing day too
Lipstick On is my current favorite. I also have Beach Walk.
Oh yes Whispers in the Library is a favorite of mine. Thank god I have a backup bottle and I have almost half full bottle as well. So I think I'm all set with WITL. Thanks for a great video.
It was thanks to you btw. Your review made me buy it. haha.
I have the by the fireplace. Lovely in the winter. Not a summer fragrance.
You should rank orto parisi fragrances next, great vid as always!
Yes!! Orto Parisi needs more love. Have become one of my favourite fragrance brands. I would buy them all.
Sadly I only own 2 Orto Parisi. And megamare will never make my list. Yuck I hate that stuff! LOL!
Maybe Nasomatto will be the one I do! :)
I’m weird!! I’m just finally starting to like matcha after a bad experience at Dunkin ( I’m in MA 🤷♀️) ha well the Matcha from there was gross! It was a mix of grass and 🐟 smell! I tried it again from Starbucks it was great!! But I’m afraid of this matcha perfume!!?
I'm getting Wicked Love this week. Can't wait 🤩
I haven't really gotten into this brand. I received a bottle of Jazz Club in a GQ subscription box along with a sample of by the Fireplace, but they are the only ones I've tried. They're ok, but they wear pretty thin. That has kind of turned me off because I like strong fragrances. I may check out a few more, though.

The autumn vibes was compliment city for me
I adore beach walk. As I was leaving the counter someone said oh that’s smells like play doh. I adore play doh also.😂
sailing day is my favorite forever ❤
Sadly, I believe it’s discontinued
I have "Under the Lemon Tree" and "By the Fireplace" and for some reason I'm just not interested in sampling or buying any more bottles. To me the frags are too expensive for what you get. If they were each $40 I would have the entire collection. To me that's all they are worth.
Only own at barber's maybe I got a good batch bought it 2-3years ago but solid performance for me
whispers in the library is my signature scent
Coffee Break! ✨✨✨
Autumn vibes
By the fireplace has me in a chokehold. Can’t explain it
Jazz Club is the best from this line.
Must get my hands on Lipstick ons. I never smelled.
You must it's so good.
Here's my review from several years ago: ruclips.net/video/vsBVuscVEyQ/видео.html
Love watching your videos, Sebastian. I learn so much from you, and discover something new with every video....🙌👏....Can you give any feedback on Mutiny EDP?
Mutiny was not a love for me. But I really enjoyed Untitled. :)
Will have to try and get a hold of "untitled". Thank you 👍.
You didn't mention When the rain stops! It's my favorite!
I’ve only found Jazz Club to interest me from this house. I’m not sure why the others don’t work for me. I’ve tried multiple discovery sets but can’t find anything that wows me.🤷🏽♀️
I was going to call you out if you didn’t mention beach walk which is amazing for men and women , layering also
🥉By The Fireplace
🥈Jazz Club
🥇 Matcha Meditation
I got the samples. They are very weak, for the price. I DID smell, and LOVE - Under the Stars. Which was woody, but so delicious. It was stronger than the others, too.
Yes they are all EDT's so not the most potent. :)
Across Sands and Dancing in the Moon
Autumn Vibes is amazing
Autumn Leaves
Can you tell me performance of this. And projection?. Would like to purchase.
Very moderate. I wouldn't call these beast mode. They are EDT. Moderate projection and sillage. They are designer level scents. :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy how much feet projection
Would just like to know
My favorite is definitely Flying, unfortunately is now discontinued
I love these ❤
Thank you.
I have always been a fan of this brand, they sell in John Lewis which is handy in the UK
Great video
Funfair Evening was my favourite! If anyone has dupe recommendations let me know!
Yes, Jazz Club also doesn't intrigue me much either, just a like, not a love. It has some cononut-like nuance, which seems borderline clashing to my nose.
Oh bummer.
There’s one bottle of Whispers in the Library EDT on Amazon . I just got a reserve bottle 😅
Been watching long enough to not ask what you think of Autumn Vibes 😂
Sadly I didn't care for Autumn Vibes. :(
I only have Beach Walk, I was interested in Music Festival and Jazz Club but the collection in general doesn't appeal to me, maybe I need to try a discovery set. Thanks for the video Sebastian!!!
Thank you
My favorite is By the Fireplace. It's the best from the line and it's just perfection in my opinion. And I can't stand Jazz Club. I just don't get the hype around that scent. Coconut booze and tobacco? No thank you.
Hey Sebastian!❤ I enjoy jazz club.. def have to add a few more to my collection😊
I have worn Jazz Club for years, but I get more compliments when wearing Whispers in the Library.
Never smelled any of these 🌹
Can you review mutiny by maison margiela. Its an edp and not many have covered it.
Sebastian, I would never thought you out of all people would miss one great product from this house. "Across Sands" the black bottle edition. And by the way, I manage to pick up "Wicked Love" and "Flying" here in Europe in December.
Nonetheless, great Top selection!
When the rain stop
Jazz club is good and so was whispers in the library before they discontinued it. Otherwise MM isn’t anything special.
Sounds like 90% of em are discontinued.
Nope, it doesn't sound like that! ;)
Under The Stars.. by a mile.
Every fragrance I like from them gets discontinued. They get rid of coffee break and bring out from the garden. Who is asking to smell like tomato?
Bubble Bath and By the Fireplace are my faves. Jazz Club, on the other hand, smells strange to me. Not into it.
Great!!
I haven't paid any attention to this brand. My very negative experience of By The Fireplace has a lot to do with that.
Very hyped up and overpriced. No longevity at all. Owned by L'Oreal and worth half what they are charging.
Pleasant scents but zero sillage no depth. Much better high end fragrances out there
You missed after the rain stops 😢
I hate that one
👎🏻 for disregarding Jazz Club 😑😑😑
It's an absolute perfection
Don't get BUTT HURT it's just a fragrance! LOL! ;)
Jazz Club is the best for me, By the Fireplace is overrated and too much even with one spay.
please explain why not jazz club
It’s boring quite a boring scent!
@@ThePerfumeGuywhich do you recommend in the same family? 🙏
👍🏻♥️
I hate the quality of MM! The concentration is the weakest ever. Their fragrances last 15 mins and that 15 mins isn't even a strong 15 mins.
The problem isn't the concentration. They tend to use a lot more naturals which tends to make the fragrance lighter. You should watch ATH so you learn why things aren't as strong as others.
Jazz Club and BTF are very potent and long-lasting on my skin!
Just tried “From The Garden” it lasted for hours on my skin. Might want to watch some vids to learn where and how to apply.
by the fireplace for me lasted all day
Really I have la y Sunday morning n it last while day
The best replica is replica by the replica
Pedestrian.
I noticed they don’t put male/female on the label anymore which was a smart move! Memories in a bottle now🫶
