Replica Across Sands
Replica Across Sands by Maison Margiela is an unisex eau de parfum from 2017 in the premium price tier. It opens with cinnamon, osmanthus and davana, moves into dates and immortelle and dries down to oud, patchouli and frankincense. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.
Heart
- Dates Sticky, jammy dried fruit. The backbone of Middle Eastern gourmands.
- Immortelle Maple syrup, curry and hay. Genuinely strange and very distinctive.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
