Maison Margiela: Christmas Gift Set

AD - Gifted product

What better way to embrace the festive cheer than with a fresh batch of Christmas gift sets? Now, I know gift sets are a year-round affair, but there's something magical about those Merry bundles that just scream "extra special." Today, I'm diving into a gift set that not only brings the holiday cheer but also packs a punch in the value department, especially given the swanky reputation of the brand.




Let's talk about Maison Margiela's Replica perfumes – a collection that's as unique as it gets. Housed in unassuming bottles that could easily pass for your everyday drugstore find, the Replica fragrances defy expectations. Despite the nondescript name, these babies are the crème de la crème of high-end scents. The Replica collection is like a silent whisper of luxury in the beauty world.




Now, the gift set I've got my hands on features two 30ml fragrances sitting in a charming white gift box. First up, we've got "Beach Walk," reminding of sun-kissed salty skin. Then there's "By the Fireplace," inspired by the cozy embrace of burning wood and chestnuts.




Beach Walk holds a special place in my heart, evoking memories of sun-soaked days on the beach, inhaling that intoxicating blend of sea, salt, and sunscreen. It's a light, breezy scent that I'm saving for the warmer months – the quintessential fragrance for those perfect summer days.

Top Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper and Lemon
Middle Notes: Ylang Ylang, Coconut milk, Heliotrope and Transluzone
Base Notes: Musk, Cedarwood and Benzion




Now, let's talk about "By the Fireplace." Close your eyes and imagine stepping into a cottage on a chilly evening, the fireplace ablaze, enveloping you in a warm, comforting cocoon. That's exactly what this fragrance delivers. As time goes on, it transforms into a woody oriental symphony with the most subtle hint of orange blossom.

Top Notes: Clove oil, Pink Pepper and Orange Flower Petals
Middle Notes: Chestnut Accord, Gaiic Wood Oil
Base Notes: Vanilla Accord, Cashmeran




Unlike its beachy counterpart, "By the Fireplace" is all about the colder seasons. It's a heavyweight fragrance, exuding warmth in every note. And that's precisely why this set has stolen my heart. Not only does it offer incredible value, but it also gives me two distinct scents – one for the sun-soaked days and the other for cozying up by the fire. It's a year-round olfactory adventure that has me covered from season to season. Cheers to Maison Margiela fragrances and the magic they bring!
