What the picks smell like
Maison Martin Margiela By the Fireplace (2015) reads as smoky chestnuts and clove warmth by a fire, opening on clove and Pink pepper and drying down to vanilla, cashmeran and Peru balsam. Maison Martin Margiela Jazz Club (Cologne, 2013) smells of smoky tobacco bar smoke with sweet rum, with Pink pepper and neroli up top and tobacco absolute, vanilla and styrax underneath. Maison Martin Margiela Lazy Sunday Morning (2013) comes across as fresh pear and soft florals, powdery musky; the notes run from aldehydes and lily of the valley to White musk, ambrette seed and patchouli.
