Maison Margiela - Whispers in the library Reseña / Review
This fragrance is the only one I own from Maison Margiela and it was released in 2019. I smelled it in a shopping center by chance and I couldn't get it out of my head until I finally bought it (: D).
Maison Margiela has a collection of perfumes called "Replica" and each perfume tries to recreate a situation; jazz club, by the a fireplace, flower market ... In this case, the name is "Whispers in the library", and, according to the description, the situation would occur in 1997. What the fragrance wants to convey is "paper and waxed wood" .
It is true that it smells a lot like wood, but it is a sweet wood. The waxed wood part is well achieved but the book part is not. In my opinion, an old library, with many wooden shelves, doesn't smell sweet. The first library that comes to mind that is so old is the Trinity College Dublin, where The Book of Kells is exhibited. Highly recommended, but it didn't smell like this perfume. It smelled more like "old" and a mixture of humidity and aged books.
As for the perfume, I imagine the situation more like this: A rustic kitchen, a large sturdy wooden table and someone eating a vanilla ice cream.
Me encantan todos los nombres de esta colección 💜
