The formal definition of Up at Dawn is that it is a woody floral fragrance. Its key notes are Rose heart absolute and pink pepper. The definition Its emotional essence recreates the thrill of a secret encounter between blossoming flowers on a morning, between night and day. It smells of sparkling, young, and fresh roses, neither soapy nor overripe, and the aroma of damp earth. And here, we are all about emotions.
Up at Dawn is a creation by perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou for Replica, by Maison Mariguela. This line recreates situations, and the brand explains the inspiration behind this fragrance, born in 2025: "It's a secret rendezvous at dawn. A note on the table, a solitary rose, a wordless invitation. A lover moves through the misty stillness of a hidden English garden, guided by the intoxicating and enveloping aroma of rose heart absolute, intertwined with spicy pink pepper and an earthy moss accord."
You'll love it if you're looking for timeless scents, if you love the modern rose (and even if you don't). It's for you if you don't want to smell like your friends, if you want to exude seduction, if you're an Anglophile who daydreams about hidden English gardens.
