“Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression,” wrote Dodie Smith in her novel, I Capture the Castle. If your scout badges are long lost, or you don’t own a bathtub, fret not. The next best thing is Bubble Bath by Maison Margiela.
This unisex fragrance is part of Replica, a collection of clothing and accessories inspired by garments collected from around the world and chosen for the universality and timelessness of their style and history. Created by the maison in 1994, each garment is reproduced identically and is marked with a plain white label indicating its provenance, period and style description.
Maison Margiela ‘Replica’ Bubble Bath scented candle,165g | $75
The scent collection is inspired by this curative sentiment, but instead of recreating tangible objects, it aims to capture the scent of a moment. Coffee Break is freshly roasted Arabica beans, frothed milk cream and fine desserts garnished with lavender blossoms at a charming café. Springtime in a Park transports you to a green city oasis in spring, where sprouting flowers are warmed by the first rays of sunshine after a long, cold winter. Every scent evokes an image and an emotion that echos with our own past.
Maison Margiela ‘Replica’ Bubble Bath eau de toilette, 100ml | $159
Like the name suggests, Bubble Bath is the soothing sensation of bathing in the comfort and safety of one’s own home. A Chypre floral, the scent reveals itself with a soap bubble clean accord and bergamot essence. Roses, lavender and jasmine follow, enhanced with relaxing hints of patchouli and white musks.
Housed in a simple apothecary bottle with a cloth label, Bubble Bath complements well in smell and in feel with Beach Walk, Lazy Sunday Morning and Flower Market from the collection. A luxury candle of the same scent is also available to infuse your home or workspace.
If only they would make an actual bubble bath or shower gel with the same fragrance…..
