There's a hint of smooth black currant liquor to open the fragrance, followed by layers of sweet and mildly spicy oil notes. A vibrant and sensual medley of ripe grapes, rose petals, and sparkling bergamot helps to paint a picture of a passionate love affair between two individuals who spend their time together nestled among the overgrown fields of Provence's vineyards.Īn unexpectedly warm and inviting breeze carries with it the soft, sun-bathed muskiness of the countryside. Like all fragrances in Maison Margiela's extensive Replica line, On a Date is tied to a specific moment in time and meant to evoke a sense of nostalgia even if you've never experienced said event or place before. On a Date is "set" in 2014 Provence. All you need is a spray of the Replica On a Date fragrance. If you haven't been introduced to the world of Maison Margiela or rom-com films of the '90s and early '00s, consider this your chance to romanticize your life to the max.īelieve it or not, you don't have to be a Meg Ryan character to experience what it feels like to fall in love. Lighting the scented candle transports me to a warm and familiar place. One spritz of the fragrance on the nape of the neck or the inside of the wrist is all it takes to put me in the best of moods. That's right! Maison Margiela's new eau de toilette and scented candle smell exactly like your favorite cozy rom-com (or how you feel while watching it). Imagine my surprise when I found a romantic fragrance embodying all that and more. Have you ever noticed these movies have a signature aesthetic? From drafty bookstores to oversize sweaters to flower market meet-cutes, I've always wanted to capture how I feel when I watch rom-com films. (Lately, my movies of choice star Meg Ryan and are set in New York City in the '90s.) Maybe it's my love for all things gut-wrenchingly romantic, but I've always wanted to romanticize my life as if it was one big rom-com with me as the leading lady. On any Friday night, there's a good chance you'll catch me curled up with a lovely cup of tea, nursing my rom-com habit. This time around, I'm highlighting Maison Margiela's Replica On a Date Eau de Toilette ($160) and Scented Candle ($70). As the name suggests, these reviews will hone in on one standout beauty formula our editors quite literally can't shut up about. The majority of our Deep Reviews will feature our editors' honest, ultra-hot takes on wider product categories or multiple products within a particular beauty brand, but every so often, we'll sprinkle in a special single-product format called Honestly, I Love It.
