Maison Margiela's Replica 'Under the Lemon Trees' Eau de Toilette captures the rejuvenating memory of a relaxing breath taken in the shade of sun-drenched lemon groves. Designed as a sharp, invigorating scent, this 100ml unisex fragrance instantly transports the wearer to a Mediterranean holiday, evoking a sense of 'dolce vita.' It perfectly balances the tartness of ripe citrus with the crispness of green botanicals, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a bright, clean fragrance experience.
The masterful composition is built around an imaginary lemon tree structure. The initial impression is a burst of fresh, dazzling citrus notes, quickly complemented by invigorating green facets. Key middle notes include coriander, Mate absolute, and delicate tea leaves, which lend an aromatic, slightly earthy depth that prevents the lemon from becoming overly sweet or simplistic. This complex heart ensures longevity and a unique green signature that sets it apart from typical citrus colognes.
The fragrance settles into a smooth, lasting woody trail, anchored by hints of cedar and soft white musks. This sophisticated base provides warmth and longevity, completing the evocation of the Mediterranean landscape. As a versatile Eau de Toilette, it is suitable for all genders and perfect for daily wear, especially during warmer months. For maximum impact, apply the fragrance to pulse points immediately after showering, allowing the damp skin to lock in the scent, ensuring stronger diffusion throughout the day.
