Maison Martin Margiela Replica Flower Market, Beach Walk & Funfair Evening ~ fragrance reviews
The Maison Martin Margiela Replica fragrance collection has been available in Europe for a while, but it just arrived in the United States this spring. I’ve made some strategic visits to Sephora to sniff and spritz (and to request samples!), and I’m ready to share my thoughts on three of them: Flower Market, Beach Walk and Funfair Evening, originally launched in mid-2012. All three fragrances were developed for Maison Martin Margiela by perfumers Jacques Cavallier and Marie Salamagne.
Flower Market
Flower Market “carries the scent of fresh cut flowers in the buckets and vases of a Parisian flower market in 2011,” and its composition includes notes of crushed leaves, freesia, sambac jasmine from India, Egyptian jasmine, tuberose, rose from Grasse, peach, cedarwood and oakmoss.

Friday scent of the day 5/23
Do share your scent of the day! I am wearing Diptyque Olène, and plenty of it — you can probably smell me a block away. I normally apply fragrance very lightly and don't know what came over me this morning. Do you typically under- or over-apply?
Couple bits of news: I've updated the post for Comme des Garçons + Pharrell Williams Girl with a few more details and a picture of the bottle. And next Friday, we'll try our first coordinated / community scent of the day. Please try to think of your favorite fragrance note (or one of them, if you can't narrow down), wear your favorite fragrance that features that note, and tell us about it! If that doesn't work for you for whatever reason, no worries, chime in anyway.
