Replica Under the Stars
Replica Under the Stars by Maison Margiela is an unisex eau de toilette in the premium price tier. It opens with black pepper and cinnamon, moves into cypriol and virginia cedarwood and dries down to labdanum, oud and leather. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Heart
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
