by Maison Martin Margiela
Autumn Vibes by Maison Martin Margiela is a deeply realistic, woodsy scent that evokes walking through a damp autumn forest under a crisp, overcast sky. It captures the aroma of dried leaves crunching underfoot, damp moss, and gently charred cedar, with a distinct earthy, slightly musky undertone that feels both natural and introspective. The opening features a sharp, dry note of cardamom and pink pepper that quickly gives way to a dense, linear woody base dominated by cedar and moss, with a subtle, soft sweetness from maple that emerges in the dry down. While some users describe it as reminiscent of wet leaves or dill, others find it to be a profound, tactile experience of fall—like stepping into a leaf-strewn path with lingering cool air. It performs as a skin scent with moderate longevity and a sillage that's intimate to moderate, so it’s not bold or projecting but intimate and personal.
