The tomato is having a sweet moment in perfumery. From the Garden, Replica's latest scent, has the Mediterranean freshness of this fruit.
This is how Maison Margiela defines From the Garden:
"This eau de toilette is a bottled memory, shared by father and son. Encapsulating a moment of complicity and togetherness, the fragrance recreates the memory of picking tomatoes in a lush garden. An earthy ode to nature, it blends a tomato leaf accord and green mandarin essence with patchouli essence and geranium essence.
The collection Replica brings together iconic fragrances that have the universal power to trigger personally endearing moments. True to its “creative collective” approach, Maison Margiela has collaborated with the finest perfumers, chosen for their genuine connection to memory, stimulated by the artistic performance of composing a fragrance as a universal invitation to awaken, celebrate and share unforgettable feelings and emotions. In line with the Maison’s minimalist approach, the Replica bottle is simple yet sophisticated. A cotton label, similar to the labels used on the clothing and accessories in the Replica fashion collection, identifies each fragrance.
To create this fragrance, perfumer Olivier Cresp was inspired by his childhood memories of spending time in the garden with his father, enjoying the scent of the plants, and years later doing the same with his own son, Sébastien. The green and earthy notes of From the Garden remind Cresp of this moment of transport and immersion in the tranquility of a sun-drenched garden"
