Nice but not for me, I would have been more impressed if it hadn’t been from the Replica brand which I’m such a fan of. Are there any Replica fragrances you really liked?
Coffee Break was the first one i bought personally, at the time i quite liked it but there's barely a dent in my bottle since my nose quickly developed after buying it a few years back. Most of them do smell very artificial and I've personally taken more of a liking to more natural smelling fragrances. That being said Under the lemon tree is nice. Ive also seen their discontinued catalogue which looks incredible and pretty adventurous. My ideology of fragrance is often building your own story association to it, create your own memories ect. subjectively, By The Fireplace and Jazz Club may be deemed nice however it takes a lot of the personal relevance out when the brand have crafted such a thorough image/story/theme. All fragrances obviously have some story, but they really push it a step too far which is a part of their branding i guess but it's simply why I prefer brands like Le Labo, Vilhelm, MFK, Xerjoff, Penhaligons and even Creed! :)
I feel Margiela's approach has been more reliant on marketing opposed to luxury or quality which is quite evident from their fashion line. Nevertheless, the market is huge for the brand and they have pushed the envelope with some recent releases which I respect but my nose really can't handle some of them 😣
@@FragranceFiend Thank you for providing such an interesting response - would have been sorry to miss this - it explains why you’ve always seemed a bit sniffy about Replica. I confess I used to consider them the absolute height of sophistication! Your ideology of fragrance is utterly on the money and is what we should all be aiming for 😋
And pink juice too! It’s such a nice touch
