Replica Promenade in the Gardens
Replica Promenade in the Gardens by Maison Margiela is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 2015 in the premium price tier. It opens with cut grass, freesia and coriander, moves into rose, peony and sambac jasmine and dries down to patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cut Grass Exactly what it says. Sharp, wet and nostalgic.
- Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
