/fa/ - Fashion

Blog post time, I went to mecca today and tried a whole heap of Maison Margiela Replicas finally.
>By The Fireplace
This used to get shilled here and yeah this is really good. I love how harsh and abrasive the smokiness is in comparison to the chestnut, and yet the chestnut doesn't feel out of place either. I don't get an image of a fireplace though, more of an outdoor bbq setting. I was with two friends though and they couldnt stand it but I think I'm copping a decant.
>Jazz Club
This used to get shilled here a lot as well and I thought it was mediocre. I got the smell of cocktail but I didn't pick up on any smokiness that I would have expected. And it was way too sweet for something that was supposed to be depicting a jazz club.
>Springtime in a Park
Snice, very floral and fruity, I got the image of blossoms for sure but they say this is unisex but you would have to be the fruitiest and most flamboyant gay dude to pull this off.
>At the Barbers
Clean, nice but nothing too special. I haven't smelled a lot of barbershops but this didn't seem that great, more like it was getting the job done.

Those are the noteworthy ones I guess, Sailing Day was just another aqua frag and I dont like aqua frags so I didn't like that. Under the lemon tree had great zestiness to it but I'm also not the biggest citrus fan. I had hope for Whispers in the Library but the vanilla note dominated it too much and wouldn't let the wood or pepper do anything, unless those notes develop later on. Coffee break was the most boring of the bunch. I kind of had higher hopes since they're supposed to be niche right? But By The Fireplace was the only one that got to me and I'm wondering with how the others are if that isn't done better by other niches. Also was disappointing that this Mecca didnt have any CdGs, Frederic Malles or diptyques.
