·by Noah Clark

In a world where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, Maison Margiela’s latest REPLICA FANTASIES collection invites us to explore our most whimsical fantasies through scent. This new range showcases three distinct Eau de Parfum offerings—Soul of the Forest, Dancing on the Moon, and Flying—each encapsulating surreal yet uplifting moments that resonate deeply within our collective subconscious.

Since its inception in 2012, the REPLICA line has crafted fragrances that evoke cherished memories and familiar experiences, resonating with the brand’s ethos of deconstruction and reconstruction. Now, the REPLICA FANTASIES collection takes this concept further, delving into a dreamscape where olfactory exploration meets emotional connection.

Soul of the Forest: A Mystical Journey

Soul of the Forest envelops wearers in the whispers of an ancient woodland. Master perfumer Quentin Bisch captures this essence with a blend of Cedarwood, Patchouli, and a unique fantasy ingredient, Mystical Wood. The fragrance conjures images of towering trees and the earthy aroma of damp moss, creating a rich, grounding experience. It’s an intoxicating blend that invites you to lose yourself in nature’s embrace, making it a perfect companion for the colder months.

Dancing on the Moon: Ethereal Elegance

Next, Dancing on the Moon invites you to join a celestial soirée. Crafted by perfumer Fanny Bal, this floral ambery fragrance features Moon Dust as its central fantasy ingredient, evoking the magical feeling of floating through space. With notes of Aldehyde, Iris, and a bouquet of white flowers, the scent is both luminous and seductive, reminiscent of a moonlit dance. This captivating fragrance flourishes in warmer seasons, offering an opalescent quality that speaks to the freedom of exploring the cosmos.

Flying: A Breath of Fresh Air

Lastly, Flying encapsulates the exhilaration of soaring through the skies. Master perfumer Marie Salamagne introduces the Ozonic Cloud as its imaginative heart, combining Petitgrain, Orange Blossom, and soft Musks to create a light, airy sensation. This citrusy, fresh fragrance evokes the bliss of weightlessness and the gentle caress of clouds, making it an ideal choice for spring and summer wear.

Bottles of Dreams

Each fragrance in the REPLICA FANTASIES collection is presented in opulent, graduated black-lacquered bottles, designed to reflect the transformative power of night. The sleek, weighted glass flacons, adorned with shimmering silver labels, not only signify the richness of the scents contained within but also embody the essence of the dreams they represent.
