The brief
Cavallier and Salamagne built it around coconut milk and ylang-ylang to evoke sunscreen and warm skin, the olfactive shorthand of 1980s Mediterranean holidays.
NamePart of Maison Margiela's 'Replica' line where each fragrance recreates a specific scene — here a barefoot walk on a hot beach.
Footnotes
- One of the original five Replica releases (with Jazz Club, Funfair Evening, Promenade in the Gardens and Flower Market) that launched the line in 2012.
The Curator's Note
Coconut milk and sunscreen, the perfume equivalent of a vacation photo.
