And yet, I found that not to be the case. And, curiously enough, it did so to the rest of the members of the Sterlish editorial team who got a whiff of it.įor a fragrance called Coffee Break, I expected to get a strong hint of roast coffee beans. Perhaps it’s because I came in with different expectations for this fragrance, but REPLICA Coffee Break threw me off. The base notes are vanilla, cedarwood, and vetiver. The heart notes are lavender, cypriol, milk, tonka bean, and benzoin.
The top notes are pepper, orange flower, and patchouli. The ambient tunes playing from a speaker in the background. It’s so realistic, you can see the flowers in the vase.
REPLICA Coffee Break lets you gorge on the aroma of latte and orange-jam pastry as fragrant lavender in a tall vase perfumes the air all around you. They’ve captured the olfactory experience of sitting in a lavender-perfumed coffee shop somewhere in Stockholm, Sweden, some time in the year 2007 so vividly, you can’t help but want to spray it, wear it, feel it, be it. With Coffee Break, a 2019 addition to the REPLICA collection of aromatic waters, Parisian designer house Maison Margiela-and French nose Jacques Cavallier-have done it again. That’s what a good coffee shop does do you, and that’s what Maison Margiela’s Coffee Break skillfully replicates thanks to the alchemy of perfume. After a while, you feel so good, you don’t want to leave. Take a bite of the flaky pastries fresh out the oven. So you sit down in a warm and cozy coffee shop to catch your breath and give yourself a break from it all. It’s a cold winter’s day, and you need a break from the hustle and bustle of midtown.

You wear them not because they came from a particular designer or were concocted by a named nose-but because you want to wear it. Maison Margiela fragrances are like everything else: unobtrusively authentic and deceptively simple recreations of past memories, a representation of how someone saw things at a particular time.
The house of Margiela, designer of haute-couture and ready-to-wear garments, bags, shoes, jewelry, and fragrances, celebrates the aesthetics of the unorthodox and embraces a philosophy that fashion is an artistic expression rather than a personality cult. He refused to take bowls at his live shows, shunning the spotlight and demanding that all interviews be taken by the design team together. It didn’t take Margiela long to make a name for himself as one of the most private and enigmatic players on the 1980s Paris fashion scene. Maison Margiela is a French fashion house founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela.
