It's 2015, you're a junior in high school. You walk by sephora and your dad randomly tells you he wants to gift you a new perfume because it has been a while. He lets me explore the scents and I ask him which he likes. This one was his favorite. As I get ready for school, that following Monday, I jump into my high-waisted American Apparel denim jeans. I wiggle my ribbed, scoop neck baby tee over my nude, lace-y Urban Outfitters bralette. I put my hair into a high pony tail with a black ribbed scrunchii that I bought in a set of 5 to share with my mom. I adorn my ears with a cool-toned sterling silver earrings, gifted by mom from Icing (iykyk). I cleanly apply, then blot, a blue-toned red lipstick from clinique that my mom got at macy's as a part of their gift bags. The quiet girl in class that minds her own, but brings forth a gentle, welcoming smile once addressed. This scent was my signature fragrance for a while. To me this embodies girls from age 15-19, obsessed with tumblr, spotify playlists, dabbles in watercolor, journals a lot, and enjoys long walks through the neighborhood.

香水概況 / Fragrance Profile
The fresh and opulent memory of a walk through a bustling flower market. Fresh cut flowers. Moist petals and snapped stems. A perfume containing layers of floral fragrance that infuse the air.
Water under your feet, plastic foil in your hands, and a floral scented arrangement.
Replica Flower Market eau de toilette captures the memory of a walk through a flower market. You smell the scent of freshly cut flowers, wet petals and leaves crushed on the floor. You are surrounded by multiple flower buckets where no flower overpowers another.
When creating Flower Market by Maison Margiela, the perfumer wanted to convey the scent of freshly made opulent buckets and the feeling aroused by stems cut and leaves crushed on the floor. He chose notes of rose from Grasse, tuberose, freesia and jasmine to bring the sensation of freshly made bouquets. The fresh and floral green fragrances of cut stems and crushed leaves is delivered by a green leaves accord, a creation of the perfumer, and enhanced by warm notes of cedar wood.

Listen, before I bought it I read the reviews here, although I see a lot of people criticizing this perfume because the scent is not so special so I was also very hesitant before buying. To be honest, I bought it because there is a tester version on Joma for a pretty cheap price, and what I was looking for was a bottle of jasmine and tuberose that was not too strong and affordable. Replica Flower Market has done just that.It's fair to say its scent is not as bad as many commenters here. Is a scent of jasmine and tuberose that is quite fresh and sweet enough, not too strong, it is just enough to keep you at work 8 hours a day and still smell fresh. And enough for a colleague sitting next to me to say: "You smell so good!". I'm glad I bought it, it's true that this scent is familiar and you may have smelled it somewhere with other brands but I still rate it well and recommend it to those who are not too picky with perfume. I will be buying more Replica scents
It’s flowers in a bottle. A little powdery, which I do not mind one bit. I wear this everyday pretty much, but it’s such a shame it doesn’t last very long on me. It doesn’t smell synthetic at all, at least not to me. Instantly a clean scent, like a few of Replica’s line. Smells like dewy flowers, not sweet as such but not like a bitter. Minimal warmth. I’d imagine it smells lovely during the summer, when it’s more of a refreshing fragrance. The rose isn’t powerful one bit, and I do smell the Freesia. I absolutely love the replica bottles however, I find them very pleasing on the eye. It’s good, but I would recommend finding a sample / 30mls first, because it is a very pricey perfume to dive into right away if you don’t like it. Much like all the other replicas, expensive, but they are pleasant. Nothing all too memorable though, sadly.
Maison Margiela's Replica line is all about capturing specific moments, places and memories as accurately as possible. This results in fragrances that can be captivating, or off-putting, because they strive for realism along with romanticism. This is the case with Flower Market. On paper, with those notes and the description–a flower market in Paris France in the early 2010s–one would imagine that this fragrance is a light, easy and super sweet spring floral. And it is–with a twist. Flower Market is equal parts rose, white floral and green notes. The green notes read as slightly earthy, even a little dirt-like. Not in a bad or unclean way, just in a natural way–exactly as you would smell in a real life flower shop.
My first impression a few months ago was of sticking my nose into a big white bouquet while sipping a peach iced tea. After a while the peachy scent really took over. I decided to try it again today and this time I didn’t notice that much peach at all, but it reminded me of a perfume that my grandmother used to wear- my mom said it was like Joy, which was one of her favorites for many years. I also went through a big freesia phase when I was about twelve and first visited Bath and Body Works. All to say, this is not the most unique perfume but it is done well. It’s polished and ladylike, and the floral scent is pretty strong. Buuut you could probably find something similar that costs less.
