Maison Margiela Replica Bubble Bath Eau De Toilette 30ml

This perfume smells good, as in if you pick a bar of soap and say "this smells good". I don't understand the hype behind this one and by the fireplace. It's like my sister told me "some scents are meant to be in a candle and not on a person". This smells like straight up soap to me like you accidentally got some dove bar soap in your mouth. The scent gets stuck in my throat somehow. Also when I spray I get a little itchy in the spots and I do not have sensitive skin by any means so I don't understand what would be irritating me. After one use I had to layer with Juliette has a Gun Not a Perfume to give it some depth and longevity.

Bubble bath has a relaxing scent right from the beginning that is fresh, clean and creamy. Its very calming like I just emerged from a long and relaxing bubble bath and the soap bubbles are fresh and still popping on the skin. It has that effervescent quality to the soapy notes that really bring the experience to life. It has excellent longevity, but it’s not super strong. It also becomes a little warmer as the musk and coconut starts to come through in the middle notes. I don’t seem to smell any rose or patchouli thankfully as I’m not a super floral gal, and patchouli tends to gives me headaches

i love everything about this. the packaging is beautiful and unique. the scent lasts a good amount of time but i love it so much i carry a travel size for re application when needed. it’s pricey yes but well worth it imo as the dupes just aren’t as good. i try to snag her during sephora sale or other key sale times. my bottle is empty and i’m so excited to replace with a fresh one. it smells clean. like soapy. i think it’s a fragrance you either love…or dont. i would suggest trying it out and seeing how it wears. if you don’t like it try another replica! they are all yummy you will find your signature scent too!

So let me tell u, i got a sample size of this in my sephora order and was OBSESSED so bought the big bottle. It’s so refreshing and clean especially in the heat of the South where sweating is a constant state of being. My husband wanders into the room and asks what smells like “funk.” I tell him to smell me and my new perfume. He declares it “disgusting, masculine, musky and funky.” Um ok. He said it smells good ON my skin but leaves a trail of B.O. smell. Well s*it bc i have a big bottle of it and i dont want to be stank! Anyway i haven’t asked anyone else bc I don’t know if I’ll get the truth but i do know what he means about the masculine and musky scent. I tried putting some on just after a shower and he said im making the whole house smell like sweaty gym ... MoreSo let me tell u, i got a sample size of this in my sephora order and was OBSESSED so bought the big bottle.

I like it and am still wearing it and stinking my way thru life. 💕🎀💕 ps my teenage son said it smelled good and he put some one and he said everybody told him he smelled SO GOOD.

Bubbling Suds for a Moment to Two

In the beginning this smells just like a traditional bubble bath to me. You can nearly feel the bubbling suds. Only problem for me is after a moment or two it becomes too high octane floral for me. Not quite a nose tweaker but not a comfortable level of white? floral. I can see why people love this fragrance. It has a good deal of nostalgia for me too, but it moves from the nostalgic bubble to pure flower power with no grounding notes.

It’s an unfortunate no from me…

I wanted to love this perfume as tiktok did an incredible job making me feel as if i needed this perfume. However, this would be another situation where tiktok has overly hyped a product. I was very iffy before buying the perfume. I kept coming to the product due to the hype and wanted to know what it was all about. Unfortunately there were no travel sizes in stock at the time, so I bought the full sized perfume. Obviously, thanks to sephora’s return policy, i knew if I didnt like it, i could always return it. Now dont get me wrong, I know perfume is subjective and a particular perfume does not smell the same on every single person. However, in my situation, this perfume did not mix with my body chemistry at all. I was going for a clean scent, but, i found it only ... MoreI wanted to love this perfume as tiktok did an incredible job making me feel as if i needed this perfume.

However, in my situation, this perfume did not mix with my body chemistry at all. I was going for a clean scent, but, i found it only made me smell bad. I know the purpose of bubble bath is to smell soapy and clean. The initial spray does smell like a soapy clean scent, but when it dries down and mixes with your body chemistry, this is when the note turns sour and a little bit pungent like. It is strong for a toilette perfume, so surely, i was surprised by that. Unfortunately, the after dry down scent is not the clean and soapy scent that I wanted. So folks, i would suggest testing the scent’s drydown on your skin before deciding for sure. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to return it. I also think this new price of $175 is beyond ridiculous for a perfume like this. So keep the price in mind as well and consider if it really is worth it. I bought it during the sephora sale so had a little discount. But still, overpriced and overhyped in my opinion.

Meh

Let me preface my review by saying I originally wanted to find a clean soapy fragrance that would smell light and airy. I think my expectations are partly my error, along with going into this blindly and not reading/comprehending the notes beforehand.With that being said, I find this fragrance to be a little too "heavy" for what I was expecting. And, like previously mentioned, I probably shouldn't have gone into this with expectations. It reminds me of a bubble bath, sure, but one that has been used, and all the muck and grime sat and mixed with the water. Maybe they should rename it "bath water," because I think that more accurately represents what it smells like. There's just an odd note in it that makes it unpleasant/heavy; at least on my skin. I don't really ... MoreLet me preface my review by saying I originally wanted to find a clean soapy fragrance that would smell light and airy.

I don't really get any of the lavender or rose either. So if you're on the fence with this one, and particularly if you are searching for a clean scent that uplifts rather than drags down, I personally would recommend against it.

Memories in a bottle

Bubble bath opens with a very calming soap smell, a lot like the smell of dove soap. Incredibly clean and light, with a hint of the bergamot listed in the scent notes. Lavender, rose, and jasmine all mix together to provide a very balanced and lovely floral scent, furthering that "clean dove soap" smell. The coconut provides a great base for all of these scents to lay on top of, and the white musk works with that smell to make something to the likes of a very fancy body lotion. The patchouli is incredibly understated, which i like. smells very, very clean and soothing, and isn't overpowering.

So nostalgic!

I love this perfume! As someone who was a kid in the early 2000s, this perfume is so nostalgic - it really smells like 2005! (in the best way possible)Super easy to smell all the notes - soap, rose, lavender, coconut, and clean white musk. It's beautiful clean scent. The coconut is a bit more obvious than expected (at least on my skin).The only reason I'm not giving this gorgeous scent 5 stars is because it's not very strong or long lasting. It's definitely not a "compliments" perfume, it stays very close to the skin.But that's kind of to be expected for a fresh and clean EDT -- if you want it, buy it! It's beautiful!

Weirdly unsophisticated

There are some events in the Replica line that are deep, sophisticated and unique. This is not one of them. When I tried a sample of this, my colleague walked into our shared office and said “what smells like chlorine? Have you been swimming?”. Mortifying but I am in agreement, a cheap candle like scent reminiscent of cleaning products. The Replica line really shines with their musky, complex fragrances, but anything with light, clean or floral notes smells like it should be 10% of the price!
