After recently purchasing the “sailing day” perfume (review here), I wanted to add another REPLICA scent to m collection of fragrances. If you love coffee and the universe surrounding it, “coffee break” is sure to hit the spot!

The Inspiration

This warm and comforting perfume takes us back to Stockholm in 2007. Inspired by a creamy and cozy memory, the fragrance captures a coffee shop on a cold winter's day.

If you are a caffeine lover like me, I am sure you already have some notes and images in mind. The fragrance allows you to relive the smaller details, such as the frothed milk on your lips, the sweet crispy pastries, and the subtle sound of the coffee machine in the background. Extremely addictive, “coffee break” is the perfect scent.

The Notes

To achieve this enveloping and cozy perfume Maison Margiela has combined four special notes: Coffee accord, milk mousse accord, lavender, and spearmint. The warmth and intensity of the coffee are balanced by a round and smooth, creamy note making the perfect stick to the skin. Lavender and spearmint represent the cooler winter weather, which brings a fresher green note to the perfume. The notes blend to perfection in a surprisingly pleasant way.

My Experience

The coffee break eau de toilette has to be one of my favorite scents from the brand. I love how well the cafe experience is captured; each morning, I relive it. The perfume holds well throughout the day and leaves a lovely sillage. I get many compliments on this perfume, and people are always surprised by the notes inside. I love having a perfume that stands out from the regular ones.

The perfume's juice takes on an orange-tinted color, reflecting the warm character of the scent. Dressed in its iconic REPLICA bottle, the fragrance is perfect in all ways. Try the perfume on the skin rather than on clothes for a true finish, and vaporize from a distance if wearing white or light-colored clothing.

The aquatic unisex fragrance from Maison Margiela

Take a plunge into this fresh and marine perfume this summer. The sailing day may be your next fragrance if you are fond of new and awakening scents.

The Creative Collection From Maison Margiela

The “Sailing Day” REPLICA perfume is part of the brand's most popular and unique collection. Using iconoclast fragrances that challenge traditions and beauty norms, they can create a mighty universe. Above all, the brand works hand in hand with some of the best perfumers to bring to life, celebrate and share those close-to-heart feelings and emotions.

The Inspiration Behind The Scent

Behind every Maison Margiela fragrance lies a story. You embark on a journey across the vast oceans in this fragrance. The eau de toilette “Sailing day” dates back to 2001. This unisex fragrance revives that fresh as well as salty experience using a combination of aquatic deep sea notes.

Take a second and close your eyes; picture the endless sea and the soft breeze on your face while the sun's warmth touches your back. Welcome to the sailing day.

The Notes

The brand has used a rich aquatic accord with coriander to achieve this awakening and aquatic scent to achieve freshness, red seaweed essence, and ambergris for the underwater world. Combining the scent becomes a woody marine fragrance that will brighten your day.

This scent should be appreciated by those who enjoy l'Eau d'Issey Miyake and Aqua di Gio from Armani.

My Review

The story behind the scent spiked my curiosity and convinced me to give this scent a go. The eau de toilette perfume is everything I expected. Extremely fresh, it plunged my mind into clear blue waters. Furthermore, the fragrance quickly evolves as most notes are volatile and turn into a soft, woody scent.

This perfume is ideal for summer or for those wanting an intimate sillage. It is a perfume that can be smelt once closer to the person. Also, it lasts a couple of hours on the skin and sets a classy ambiance for the wearer.
