SPLURGE: ON A DATE 

Maison Margiela Replica fragrances are finally available in South Africa, and we’re wasting no time welcoming the balmy breeze of spring with its On A Date scent, that is literally summer in a bottle. Known for creating scents inspired by memories, this fruity floral scent hits the memory of a sunset date on a late summer’s evening overlooking the vineyards of Provence, right on the nose. With notes of bergamot, blackcurrant liquor accord, patchouli essence and rose petal essence, expect a juicy sweetness with the tartness characteristic of red grapes that slowly settles into a lively, warm yet sensual floral note of rose. Maison Margiela Replica On A Date EDT 100ml, R2,700, arcstore.co.za.
