The Maison Margiela 'Replica' Coffee Break Eau de Toilette is an olfactory snapshot of a specific moment: Stockholm, 2007, a comforting respite in a cozy, bustling café on a cold winter day. Designed to evoke the feeling of savoring a creamy latte and warm pastries, this fragrance is a gourmet invitation to pause and indulge. Created by renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier, it belongs to the Amber Fougère family, known for its warm, slightly spicy, and herbaceous structure.
The artistry of Coffee Break lies in its meticulously crafted accords. The comforting heart of the fragrance is built around a realistic Coffee accord paired with a unique Milk Foam accord, recreating the sensation of creamy milk caressing the lips. This gourmand core is uplifted by aromatic notes of Lavender and Green Mint, which introduce a fresh, pure conviviality, balancing the rich sweetness. This specific composition ensures the scent is comforting yet energetic, making it a distinctive and sophisticated choice for both men and women.
As a unisex Eau de Toilette, Coffee Break is ideally suited for daytime wear, especially during cooler months, providing a sense of warmth and familiarity. It serves as a perfect daily signature scent for those who appreciate gourmand and aromatic fragrances that are both sophisticated and nostalgic. True to the Replica line, the 3.4oz bottle is designed to resemble a vintage apothecary jar. It features the signature cotton label detailing the scent’s provenance (Stockholm, 2007) and its specific effect, connecting the fragrance directly to the Maison Margiela REPLICA Couture Collection philosophy of reproducing familiar memories.
