Maison Margiela Replica Under the Lemon Trees: Fragrance Description

The Replica Under the Lemon Trees takes you on a journey to a bright and uplifting experience - a well-deserved nap in the cool shade of lemon trees after a warm summer day stroll. Enveloped by the shadows and the gentle scented breeze, you'll feel refreshed and revitalized.
The fragrance captures the vibrant and citrusy aroma of sparkling lemons through a skillful blend of calamansi lime accord. Meanwhile, the floral freshness of resting under the trees is beautifully conjured with coriander and cedar wood notes. Together, these elements create a delightful and immersive scent, transporting you to the serene peacefulness of a lemon-scented oasis.

The Calamansi Lime accord is a delightful blend inspired by the small citrus tree known for its edible fruits during the winter. These fruits are both sour and aromatic, reminiscent of Bitter Orange. The Kalamansi exudes a zesty and sparkling essence with a hint of bitterness, adding an exotic and unique touch to the fragrance. Its delicately sweet undertones further enhance the overall sensory experience, creating a refreshing and invigorating aroma.
Coriander is a fragrant herb known for its dried fruits used as spices. In the fragrance, the coriander essence presents an aromatic and green character, offering a lively freshness. Additionally, it introduces delightful spicy and sweet nuances to the overall scent, enhancing its complexity and allure. The essence of coriander adds a touch of herbal vibrancy, contributing to the refreshing nature of the fragrance.

Virginian Cedarwood Essence is derived from the red-hued wood of the coniferous family. Its essence resides predominantly in the heart of the wood. The scent of Cedarwood is characterized by its woody and dry notes, with a subtle touch of freshness. As a result, it imparts a modern and refined aroma to the fragrance, elevating its overall appeal. Cedarwood brings a contemporary twist to the scent, adding sophistication and elegance to the composition.

Perfume story

In the midst of a hot summer day, a weary traveler sought solace from the scorching sun. His wanderings led him to an encounter with a lemon tree with plenty of fruits. Its citrusy aroma beckoning him closer. Beneath this tree, he sought refuge, finding respite from the relentless heat and a moment to rest.
As he drifted into slumber, his subconscious dragged him to a dreamlike world - a serene Mediterranean shore. The mesmerizing rhythm of gentle waves and the distant cries of seagulls enveloped him, while the salty breeze kissed his cheeks with a soothing touch. Amidst this idyllic seascape, the tangy fragrance of lemons filled the air, drawing a connection between reality and the ethereal realm of dreams.
Upon waking, he found himself back under the lemon tree, yet something had changed within him. The memories of that dream-like sanctuary lingered, bestowing upon him a newfound sense of peace and rejuvenation. And from that day forward, whenever the scent of lemons graced his senses, he was transported back to that cherished vision, where a slice of paradise awaited amidst the desert's unforgiving embrace.
