Under The Lemon Tree

About this fragrance

Escape to a sun-drenched Mediterranean afternoon with Maison Margiela Replica Under the Lemon Trees Eau de Toilette. True to the Replica line's mission of capturing deeply evocative, universal memories (specifically pinpointed to "Palermo, 1987"), this fragrance is a masterclass in bright, relaxing perfumery. It perfectly encapsulates the serene, restorative feeling of taking a tranquil nap in the dappled shade of a lush lemon grove, with a gentle, warm breeze rustling the green leaves above. The olfactory journey opens with an incredibly bright, zesty burst of sharp Kalamansi lime and bitter, green petitgrain, subtly spiced with aromatic cardamom. This dazzling, tart introduction instantly awakens the senses, perfectly mimicking the sharp rind and crisp leaves of fresh citrus trees. As the vibrant top notes gently soften on the skin, the fragrance reveals a deeply refreshing, botanical heart woven from earthy coriander, crisp green tea extract, and the dry, leafy warmth of mate absolute. The true relaxation of Under the Lemon Trees is fully realized in its deeply comforting, sun-warmed dry-down. A soft, clean base of white musk and crisp cedarwood, accented by a faint touch of sweet cistus (labdanum), wraps the bright citrus and green tea in a highly soothing, skin-like embrace. Luminous, crisp, and effortlessly joyful, it is the ultimate daytime signature for hot summer days, casual weekends, and moments of pure, sunlit tranquility.
