Maison Margiela Replica - Springtime in a Park

Maison Margiela fragrances have been on my watch list for some time and with Spring having pretty arrived, I took the plunge and purchased Maison Margiela Replica - Springtime in a Park from the Replica Collection.

I have tried a few samples of fragrances from Maison Margiela over the past few years and I absolutely love Lazy Sunday Morning and Bubble Bath, but it was the description of Springtime in the Park which caught my attention.Springtime in a park captures the gentle light and fresh floral atmosphere of a nice and romantic Spring afternoon at the park. Blossoms appear everywhere and nature is calling us.

The bottles for the Maison Margiela Replica fragrances are very unique with their couture design, look quite stylish in a hand-crafted flaçon with its eye-catching label to give the bottle that more personal look, as though someone has just created it for you.  

The fragrance notes for Springtime in the Park are delightful whether you are a fan of floral, fruits or a mixture of two notes within your scents, this one has an abundance of everything. 

Opening with the top notes of pear, bergamot and blackcurrant give that sweet and fruitiness to catch your attention before the floral middle notes of lily of the valley, jasmine and rose damascena come together to help recreate what is referred to as being the floral atmosphere of spring, that walk through the park when everything has started to blossom, then the base notes of musk, vanilla and ambrox which add depth to the scent without being overly powerful are warming and comforting. 

If you wanted to compare this fragrance to another that is incredibly well known, Givenchy Very Irrésistible springs to mind when Springtime in a Park starts to dry down on the skin.  Longevity, this one lasts really well for me and I can get a good 4-5 hours wear time before the need to re-apply.

If you’re looking for a fragrance which is fresh, light, floral and sweet with a hint of springtime then this is one that will captivate you as much as it has me. 

Priced at £49 for 30ml and £99 for 100ml it is an investment for sure and if you’re wanting to test and try before making a purchase, there is a Maison Margiela Memory Box which is priced at £33 and it features 10 fragrances from the collection, including Springtime in the Park and each fragrance is 2ml which is more than enough to get an insight as to which one you really like.

The popular gems and crystals used in fashion today

Gems and crystals have been prominently featured in a variety of fashionable looks throughout time. Whether you’re exploring fashion in Korea or assessing the best options for a wedding you might have coming up, gems and crystals are popular globally and have been for quite some time. From subtle diamond earrings to beautiful rose quartz necklaces, the options are extensive.

Alongside their evident beauty and ability to top off a particular look, adding gems and crystals to your next outfit can also help provide a great deal of confidence. Alongside this, crystals are also believed to have metaphysical properties - something that appeals to be many people who wear them. Not only do they look good, but the fact that they potentially bring positivity into a life makes them a viable option for many fashionistas. 

Of course, for some people, the only way they’re likely to come into contact with gems or crystals is through popular gem-themed slot games like Starburst or through seeing them being worn at major red carpet events by Hollywood celebrities, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. In fact, some gems and crystals are more affordable than many people think and can really help elevate a particular look and feel. In the modern world, these types of accessories are being heavily featured in the fashion sphere. With that in mind, below is a look at some popular gems and crystals worth considering. 

Pearl 

One of the more expensive options on the list, pearls never fade in someone’s wardrobe and provide females with some additional elegance. A pearl necklace, for instance, is subtle but can make a massive difference. Also known to provide calmness, the addition of a pearl-themed piece is a must for many people. Pearl is popular in the fashion industry on the whole, with it being included in powder cosmetics and a variety of beauty products, too. 

Pink rose quartz 

Featured heavily on bangles and earrings, pink rose quartz is steeped in history after being retrieved from Roman and Egyptian tombs. As such, it is in high demand and represents an excellent option for many fashion lovers. Alongside its notable beauty, this particular crystal is also said to boost feminine energy and universal love. Also championing harmony and all-round positive vibes, pink rose quartz is stunning. 

Diamond 

Diamonds are forever, and that’s probably exactly why they’re so incredibly expensive on the whole. Never going out of fashion either, diamonds are usually associated with weddings and engagements, but they can also be incorporated into other everyday looks. Said to provide peace, prosperity and happiness too, a diamond-studded bag or a diamond ring can not only make you feel good, but look good also. 

Citrine

Citrine rings, earrings, necklaces and a whole host of other pieces of jewellery are a go-to option for many people. Enabling someone to stand out from the crowd, they’re commonly seen at formal occasions such as birthdays or weddings.

A positive gemstone that fights off negative energy and aids personal growth, citrine’s orange shade is instantly recognisable and lends itself beautifully to a number of fashionable looks. 

Garnet

A stone that is associated with warrior battles and treasured due to its undoubted natural beauty, garnet is one of the more affordable crystals on the list and is a popular choice for many people. Although most shades of garnet are typically red in colour, there are a variety of other versions, namely in purple, pink, green, yellow, black and brown. Depending on your favourite colour, it will look beautiful in a variety of pieces, from necklaces to bracelets.
