Flower Market Maison Margiela 2012

I usually go for short statements but had to write a few extra words for this one.

Every time I spray this on, I travel to a busy flower market in Amsterdam. A rainy day but the sun shines every once in a while. That warm sunlight on the wet streets just makes everything look gorgeous. Inside the flower market, you can smell all sorts of flowers at once and it's overwhelming in the best way.

It delivers exactly what it promises and puts a smile on my face like another user said. Good thing I grabbed a backup bottle when it got discontinued.

This scent is like taking a stroll through a blooming flower market on a sunny day - it's pure joy in a bottle!

The opening notes immediately transport you to a vibrant market bursting with fresh blossoms. It's a bouquet of floral goodness, with hints of jasmine, rose, and freesia that make you feel like you're surrounded by nature's beauty.

As the fragrance settles, it evolves into a soft and delicate aroma that still maintains the essence of a fragrant flower stall. The green and dewy undertones add a touch of freshness, making it perfect for everyday wear.

The bottle itself is simple yet charming. It captures the essence of the fragrance, with its clean design and minimalist aesthetic. Just gotta LOVE all replica fragrances and the bottles.

If you're someone who adores the scent of fresh flowers and wants to carry that feeling with you wherever you go, Martin Margiela Replica Flower Market is a must-have. It's like a whimsical garden in a bottle that never fails to put a smile on your face and make you feel like you're in the middle of a flower market.

This is one of the samples in my Replica sample box from a few years ago. I like this; I suspect I'm drawn to the tuberose, a favourite floral note of mine. I put this on and wore it out for a walk in the gorgeous warm spring sunshine, and every once in a while it reminded me of Clinique Happy, which I wore in the late 1990s. Flower Market doesn't have any of Happy's citrus, but both have freesia and rose, so perhaps that's it. Anyway, this is a nice, slightly old fashioned white floral that does remind me of being in a flower market.

This is a powerful fresh white floral scent. Beautiful but heavy jasmine, rose and easter lily scent with green notes. It smells as if you stuck your nose deep into a white floral bouquet of cut fresh flowers and you're inhaling the pollen from the stamen and your nose begins to water from inhaling the pollen. I feel the same tingle inhaling pollen on actual flowers.

It's pleasant scent but if you have actual allergies to flowers and pollen beware. I have witnessed my brother's eyes begin to water and swell as if I had brought a bouquet of fresh lilies into the house. He smelled this perfume on me across the room. It is that strong and I only myself sprayed once. He is allergic to most flowers and has a similar reaction. Obviously I don't wear it around him, but I keep this in mind and tend not to wear the perfume in public with many people, lest I cause someone else a similar reaction.

It has very strong projection, sileage and longevity. I can smell this on my clothes days, even a week later. I love the bottle and the scent, but I don't wear it as much as I would like because I worry about causing issues for someone else.

I really like this one. It's a light floral melange with green leafy notes and a smell like wet concrete underneath. This combination appeals to me very much.

The florals aren't distinct and bold. They're coming from buckets next to you, not a bouquet held under your chin. I think this perfume achieved it's goal very well and captured the feeling of walking through a flower market in the city.
