Imagine a parent writing a love letter to their child, not through a handwritten letter but through perfume. This is the story of Maison Margiela's latest fragrance, From the Garden. It is a fragrant journey into the heart of nature. Masterfully crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp and his son Sebastien, it's a scent that tells a story of shared moments and a love for the natural world.
“From the Garden evokes a memory that I share with my son," shared Olivier Cresp, a French perfumer, through a media statement. “Like a family heritage. My father made me smell the garden plants, and I did the same with my son. These earthy and greenery notes remind me of those moments of transmission and complicity.”
Inspired by a sunny afternoon in a lush Italian garden, From the Garden unfolds like a sensory poem. The 'Tomato Leaf accord' and Green Mandarin create a bright, juicy top note, reminiscent of sun-ripened tomatoes. Floral and aromatic Geranium essence paints a picture of a thriving garden, while Patchouli essence evokes the damp, earthy scent of soil clinging to hands after a day of gardening.
