Having written extensively in the past about how much I love perfume, I’ll try my hardest to prevent this piece from becoming an ode to my fascination with fragrance. From cult £165 fragrances to affordable hidden gems from the high street, I’m not fussy about brand or price point when it comes to scent but I am fastidious about the fact that whatever I’m wearing must smell incredible. My main criteria? For a perfume to take up permanent residence in my stash it should spark happiness whenever I wear it and it must smell unique; I’m not in the market for fragrances that can be easily duped. A scent that literally turns heads isn’t essential—I’m not an egomaniac after all—but I have to say that there’s one brand of perfume that fulfills my perfect fragrance formula and has people asking about it whenever I wear it: Maison Margiela’s Replica collection.
