Yazhini ManimudiThe holidays are a great time to find special versions of the perfumes we love. If your signature scent is rather popular, chances are the bottle will get a holiday refresh to make it an extra special gift to yourself. Maison Margiela has given their popular fragrance Replica Jazz Club a festive spin with a holiday special limited edition bottle.
The special new bottle is an opaque midnight blue with the bottle neck changed from the usual white to match. The label detail has transformed from a clean, minimalist white design to a more festive, extravagant gold that fits so beautifully with the midnight blue. The edges of the label are a weathered gold rather than the clean white lines of the original design.
A very fitting design for a fragrance best worn in the evenings. My fear of mixing metals with jewelry has me side-eying the silvery top of the bottle when gold is so prominent in the limited edition design. But I do understand that it would be harder and not very cost-efficient to manufacture golden spray tops for limited edition bottles. Plus that might cross the line into tacky with too much gold.
The fragrance retains the same character and the change is only in the bottle, so worry not if you love Jazz Club the way it is. If you don’t already know about Jazz Club and are tempted to buy it just for the special bottle, you’re unlikely to go wrong with your choice:
Notes
Maison Margiela’s Replica line is centered around replicating nostalgic moments in life like the relief of a Coffee Break, time spent By The Fireplace, a cosy Lazy Sunday Morning, a night spent at a Jazz Club. An image of the memory invoked is displayed on the bottle, a visual representation of the feeling invoked by each fragrance.
Booze flows freely through the small, exclusive Jazz Club, as smooth as the music that surrounds you. Cigars lit, filling the air with tobacco smoke, a sweet herbaceous aroma dominating the profile of this fragrance. The vanilla adds to the smoothness of the boozy notes, lingering in the drydown as representation of how jazz music makes you feel.
The deeper notes are balanced out by the spark of pink pepper and lemon that highlight the liveliness of jazz music.
Though marketed as a men’s fragrance, I believe it works as a unisex fragrance.
