The Replica collection by Maison Margiela is described as the only collection that makes you relive personal memories through scents. Each fragrance in this collection is designed to recreate a memory.
“What’s that jacket, Margiela?”
Maison Margiela was founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela. The philosophy behind this brand was and still is uniquely unconventional. And in February 2025, a Maison Margiela cafe opened in Dubai. The Paris-based fashion house continues to creatively make a buzz.
Margiela has dabbled in fragrances, but Replica remains their most iconic scent collection. Let’s take a look at some of our favorite fragrances from this much-loved collection.

Starting with the one that replicates the vibes of my favorite season, Autumn Vibes. Autumn Vibes captures the scent of autumn the way I envision it in my mind.
The fragrance opens with a woody, slightly damp scent, featuring notes of cedar, nutmeg, and cardamom that imitate the smell of fallen leaves. The earthy, seasonal vibe is initially captivating. I will warn you, though, the dry down becomes somewhat flat and overly spiced, making the scent feel more conventional than refined. That being said, Autumn vibes is an excellent fall/winter fragrance for warm fragrance lovers.

By the Fireplace is a very hyped fragrance from the Replica collection. Whether you believe it’s worth the hype or not depends on your taste and how the scent smells on you.
On me, BTF transforms into a cozy, gourmand delight, like a warm, toasty S’more, rich with comforting sweetness. But on others, it can take on a smokier edge, smelling like a campfire more than a fireplace. What makes this fragrance so fascinating is how dramatically it shifts from person to person.

Shifting away from the warmer scents to a more spring-friendly fragrance. Lazy Sunday Morning is a soft, soothing, powdery scent.
I recently picked Lazy Sunday Morning hoping for something fresh and pretty, and it delivered. It opens with a soft, powdery muguet, instantly transporting me to childhood memories of building a fort with linen sheets and basking in golden sunlight. It’s nostalgic, elegant, and personal.
4. Maison Margiela Replica When The Rain Stops EDT

When the Rain Stops is a fragrance I love wearing to bed. For a perfume with such a complex blend of ingredients, When the Rain Stops feels refreshingly light and airy.
As someone who isn’t typically cautious with fragrance, I found it nearly impossible to overdo. It’s that gentle. The scent is bright, dewy, and clean. It feels like sunlight glistening on wet roses or the whimsical freshness of scented bubbles. It is absolutely dreamy.
5. Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club EDT

| Highlights | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand | Maison Margiela |
| Best for | Men |
| Fragrance Family | Leather |
| Notes | Top notes: Pink Pepper, Neroli, and Lemon Middle notes: Rum, Java Vetiver Oil, and Clary Sage Base notes: Tobacco Leaf, Vanilla Bean, and Styrax |
| Release year | 2013 |
| Longevity | Over 8 hours |
| Projection | Moderate |
| Perfumer | Alienor Massenet |
Jazz Club, unlike most leather scents, is easy to enjoy without worrying about over-applying. This is because it’s an eau de toilette with lighter projection.
Jazz Club opens with a rich blend of sweet boozy rum and soft tobacco, and a hint of lemon that adds a bright, effervescent touch. A woody vetiver and subtle herbal note from clary sage ground the scent, lending it a smooth midsection. The base is warm, thanks to a mix of vanilla, cedarwood, and mellow tobacco. The tobacco is not the harsh, smoky kind, but a soft, skin-close note. Jazz Club remains a beautifully crafted modern scent. I would love to see an EDP version of it.
