Maison Margiela Replica On A Date
In the golden light of a late summer evening, the scent of ripe grapes and fresh roses fills the air.
‘On A Date’ heightens the senses with memories of a perfect rendez-vous, overlooking the magnificent vineyards of Provence laden with grapes soaked in the golden hour light of a late summer evening. It reflects the positive feelings and excitement one feels on a date.
The latest Maison Margiela ‘Replica’ fragrance is the result of a creative exploration between the world of perfume and wine. A collaboration between master perfumer, Carlos Benaim, and master sommelier, Manuel Peyrondet.
Luminous and sensual, ‘On A Date’ captures the sparkling and addictive fruitiness of ripe grapes bathed in warm sunshine, and the delicate yet decisive character of wild roses.
“First, I sought the best way to express the aromas of red wine,” says Master Perfumer Carlos Benaim. “I translated its finesse and freshness by using Crème de Cassis, Davana and then I also explored the aromas of rosé wine by expressing its energy and roundness. I translated the sensations of these two wines into a totally new accord to liberate one intense emotion.
One of my other wishes was to integrate the rose which is the flower of love par excellence. It offers delicate and fresh floral notes with fruity inflections that recreate the sweet feelings brought by seduction”.
“For me, perfumes are all about making you feel good,” says Master Sommelier Manuel Peyrondet. His collaborative work with Carlos Benaim was “to recreate the particular scents of rosé and red wine from Provence. ‘On A Date’ has a strong personality. It was inspired by the exceptional terroir of Provence, which offers a contrast of unique aromas”.
Damascena Rose Petal essence and Bergamot essence recreate the sweet feelings brought by seduction as the reminiscence of a successful date.
Blackcurrant Liquor Accord and Patchouli essence give the fragrance a sensual and magnetic woody signature while evoking the soil of the Provence vineyards at the early stage of the night.
