Beach Walk from the Replica fragrance collection by Maison Martin Margiela is beautiful. It's the perfume I'd been eyeing up for months, since last summer, when I first tried it. And since then, I've been taking advantage of the testers every time I go shopping! It's a bit expensive, at £60/€75 for 100ml, especially since it doesn't come in any other sizes, but I finally decided to get it, and I'm SO glad I did. It's a beautiful perfume, from the packaging to the scent itself.
Starting from the outside, the boxes for all of the Replica range are lovely. They're really simple, just white with a label describing the fragrance. Beach Walk has a picture of a girl on a beach on the label, and it's exactly the image that comes to mind when you smell the perfume. The bottle is beautiful, again very simple, which I love!
The perfume itself is interesting. It's definitely one of my favourite perfumes ever, without a doubt. It's unlike any other perfume I've tried, in that it's not exactly perfume-y. I'd describe it as more like "how you'd like your skin to smell naturally". It's not very floral or citrusy or anything, just a really nice fresh scent. It's clean, but also very warm, and it really does smell of a day at the beach, sitting under the sun with salty hair and sandy skin. I think now is the right time to get it, because it really is a summer scent, if you're considering it. It makes me feel like I'm on the beach whenever I smell it!
Another great thing about it is that it's by Martin Margiela, the man who's been called the Banksy of fashion because nobody knows who he is. Very cool.
