How it moves

The first breath is pink pepper, neroli and lemon, and it is loud about it. By the half hour it has become rum, clary sage and vetiver. What is left hours later is tobacco leaf, vanilla and styrax, and that is the part people follow you for.

What wearers say

20,800 people have rated it, and they land at 4.2 out of 5. That is close to consensus, which almost nothing in this hobby achieves.

  • Adored for its cozy rum, tobacco, and vanilla; described as a warm, boozy, whiskey-lounge scent that feels smooth and inviting.
  • Performance is generally solid but not extreme, offering good longevity with moderate projection best suited to cooler weather.
  • Seen as a versatile crowd-pleasing gourmand for fall/winter and casual evenings; some find it a touch too sweet or 'safe.'

Who made it

Aliénor Massenet composed it in 2013, for Maison Margiela in France. From Margiela's 'Replica' series recreating memories — a boozy rum-and-tobacco evocation of a Brooklyn bar.
