Music Festival

I’ve smell this the first time around 2018 didn’t like it the first time,2nd time pre COVID I’ve sample it at the store again fell in love with it when I get back home with the tester strip. A little hesitated about the retail price for the quality, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it until I found out it’s discontinued, been searching online, sold out everywhere. 2021 after COVID 2nd wave lockdown, went to the mall searching for it. couldn’t be happier when found the last bottle in the country at Sephora. the SA at Sephora doesn’t even know they have the last bottle left. I’ve spotted it when she opens the cabinet.I’ve check on eBay people are selling it for 200usd now,I guess retail price is a bargain now. So the weed here is more of a vibe than actual odors. Just more like when you walking in to one of those smoke shops carrys artisan bongs and pipes. Not the ones you have at your neighborhoods, just love the whole idea of the fragrance, Amazing scent. Longevity and silage is moderate. A little expensive for the longevity and projection tho. Manceras Hindu Kush is kinda in the same league but on steroids without the crazy incense. But I like this one more it’s cozy and calming.it’s the red apple in the opening make it fresh and crisp. After 10 mins apple faded away patchouli become the most prominent note. A little incense note in the dry down 4/5

Seems to be a controversial scent, but if you really like patchouli, I say go for it. It is very well balanced to my nose, and although the cannabis accord is there, it is far from that dank, dirty smelling pot that you'd smoke in some random dudes van at a music festival. It's more of a fresh, green,"purple haze" scent that I think balances the heavier patchouli notes very well. The note of incense is what most people comment on when I wear it, which I personally love. It's comforting and warm, and although it is a unisex, that juicy red apple top note lingers and adds a good punch of sweetness. Im not much of a sweet gourmand lover, but I just think this scent is very well-rounded. It lasts well into the night when I spray it on in the morning, which I would add as a good value for the price you pay. It is discontinued but you can find it on Ebay for a fair price, especially considering it's a luxury perfume house. This is the scent I imagine Zoe Kravitz's character "Rob" would wear in the Hulu series High Fidelity. It's a little rough around the edges, but still sweet, sexy, and alluring. It smells like what a mysteries record shop owner with severe daddy issues would smell like. Its hot, its cool, and it won't return your calls because it's listening to its rare Bowie vinyl all night.

This was a blind buy, after researching the notes I thought I’d give this a go. Bought a full bottle for around 114$ and didn’t regret it one bit. On me the patchouli is very apparent, the marijuana, not so much (unless I am oblivious to what weed smelled like back then), It opens with just a hint of apple and the patchouli is the dominant factor. For an eau de toilette this sure does last, and I am happy I made this addition to my collection. Patchouli, hints of cannabis and a lot of incense and wood, with a touch of leather on top to bind it all together. I love Maison Margiela’s Replica line of perfumes, the memory and scene of being at a hippie-ish music festival is there, people smoking spliffs, sweaty from all the dancing and just being out in the sun for days, this is it. I could write so much more about this beauty and the other Replicas but I’ll emphasise one point: This is unique, a lot of the whack patchouli, not the sweet one, this is some funky stuff. Sillage: 8 Longevity: 7,5 at least on my skin Smell: 9 A great niche perfume for those who have a different nose, try it out! I am so over the new perfumes aimed at smelling good and liked by the many. I am all for bold statement perfumes, I want to be remembered, not necessarily liked.

Picked up a 10ml at Saks off 5th for $20.00. I wish I had grabbed 2. I may invest in a full bottle soon. This is the first Replica that I have wanted a full bottle of, and I have smelled all the most popular in a sample pack. It is strong on the patch on first spray but it settles down (20 minutes or so) into a sweet (almost cotton candy-like) incense-y fragrance on my skin. I feel like it is blended very well. I do not get much leather or any noticable cedar, no pencil shavings or anything like that. Perhaps a hint of cypress. I don't detect any true "bud" scent. Just a fantasy one. I have smelled my share of "bud". Could for sure be unisex but I feel like it leans slightly "feminine" due to the sweetness. Maybe different on different skin. I think I found my fall incense scent I have been looking for. Very wearable for me in any season. Versatile, fun and unique. Recommended for the modern (or nostalgic) hippy. Color is a misty, deep pink in my weird sense brain. Overall 8/10 for me. **Edited 1/3/22 to say, this smells a heck of a lot like Lord of Misrule from Lush!

This scent immediately stuck out to me as a niche version of JV Dark Rebel. It has an amazing blend, and a definitive open, mid, and drydown. Gets sweeter and more powdery as time goes on, and I find it absolutely lovely. The opening is a bit patchouli'd out, smells like your parents Deadhead friend who comes into town once every 8 years in a van. Once the opening passes, it mellows into a beautiful sweet powdery scent with some authentic spice behind it. The cannabis note is NOT strong or authentic. It's more of a slightly sulphuric tobacco than a true weed smell. Think of a dried tobacco + a faint smell of burnt matches. I really love this so far, would recommend buying if you're into more complex scents. I love the Jim Morrisson comp, definitely what I would imagine him smelling like. Versatile enough for office, dates, or casual wear. Leans slightly toward cooler weather, but you can pull it off in summer as long as the heat isn't too extreme. 8.5/10

Holy patchouli, I love this. The cannabis note is definitely very much there in the initial blast- very strong and kinda fruity. But its presence burns off within the first 15-30 minutes. Then the scent begins to remind me of the incense section of the head shop. Music Festival will ultimately evolve into a kinda powdery, fruity, smoky, and fun patchouli incense scent that dries into a nice cypress, faint fruity-ish cannabis, tobacco scent. I have to admit I love the topnotes the most- and wish that was the entire fragrance. However I do appreciate a scent that has an aspect of evolution to it. I noticed the house of Maison Margiela are genuine experts at taking your senses on a ride -- never linear or boring frags, always shapeshifting and changing, keeping it interesting. Projection is soft, which is also cool. One of my absolute favorites by Maison Margiela. It sucks that everything I love gets discontinued.

My introduction to the Replica line was Jazz Club. Absolutely phenomenal scent that gets better every time I wear it! Looking at the notes in Music Festival, I figured I would not be a big fan, but this really surprised me. A fresh blast of apple in the top that reminds me of a caramel/candy apple. Love the patchouli and incense note in this that equals out the sweetness of the apple, making the blend really nice overall. I do not get a cannabis note from this, which is nice, because I am not a fan of the smell. The memories from college dorm rooms do not sneak in here, thankfully. Really nice performance on this one as well. This is a great fragrance and really got my attention. Stays quite linear throughout, not making big changes, but love getting wafts of it especially in the dry down. Overall 8/10 and perfect for those cooler months. Would love to wear this one to a fair!

Music Festival by Maison Martin Margiela smells like amber-y weed that I remember from the 90s—slightly sweet and powdery. IMO, today’s weed is very green and bred to be strong, which results in a scent profile that would be tough to wear. Music Festival is easy to wear, especially if one is into woody fragrances. It does not smell like a dupe of Fille en Aiguilles, but it is similar enough; I would recommend MF to fans of FeA. When comparing the two fragrances, FeA has a dominant balsam fir note, while MF has more smoke/patchouli/weed/leather and a touch of waxy iris. FeA is slightly sweeter with candied fruit and gin and tonic—it makes me feel attractive, while MF feels slightly edgy. I would definitely reach for this fragrance if I owned a full bottle. 4/5 Recommended to people into incense or woody fragrances

I put this on the day after I went to a CBD/smoke shop and this smelled EXACTLY like the interior. Cannabis, incense, patchouli, and a couple of earthy scented candles. Of course, this works just as much for a music festival as the name indicates... I wore it to a concert and actually forgot I had it on, because people were smoking weed in front of me and that was stronger than the cannabis note. That being said, it doesn’t have as high sillage as one would expect, it sits nicely on your pulse points. It doesn’t make you smell offensively dank like pot and patchouli but more warm, vintage, and earthy. This is one of my favorite Replica fragrances I’ve tried so far and I’m a little sad it was discontinued.

I have several frags whereas the main note is patchouli. M.M.M, has a sweets patchouli that I've ever come across. I actually enjoy the sweet notes. There's a whiff of tobacco mixed with cannabis, and as well a smig of smokey vib to the fragrance. I almost feel that there's a vanilla-esque mixed in with the rest of the notes, giving it a green/powdery vib. Longevity and Sillage is excellent, lasting about 6hrs, at arms length you can smell the frag. This is one those fragrance you can wear almost all yr round. I personally find it challenging during the summer months. It's not as airy as most summer fragrances are. 8/10

Very similar to (untitled) but with more patchouli, violet and some herbal touch. (untitled) is more green, bitter and harsh, Music festival is like (untitled) in a hippy-version with more flower, incence and stronger fragrances (...patchouli!). For me Music festival is like a ride back to the hippy-era, being different, being bohemian a bit... but in a good way. Sophisticated, warm, free spirited - with an extravagant bohemian soul. The perfume is for both intorverts and extroverts - in every way. Dare to give a try! PS: I have By the Fireplace, (untitled) and Jazz club from Maison M. I love them all.

Found this in Winners which I wasn't expecting. 10ml for 20 dollars Canadian. Bought this one blind and what a surprise. I love it. Will definitely consider a big bottle in the future to add to my collection. This fragrance reminds me of Christmas. I smell pine mixed with incense and red apple with a touch of vanilla and sweetness as it stays on the skin. I always consider cannabis to smell like a skunk and I don't really get that with this. Just happy I found a brand that I will continue to explore and enjoy for years to come. Great job Margiela.

The opening is a blast of chocolaty, sweet patchouli, moments after, a strong and remarkably realistic cannabis note begins to appear. This is - as described on the bottle - the smell of fresh buds. This fragrance truly captures the essence of a hippy music festival with all the necessary notes coming into play, patchouli, cannabis and tobacco. The leather note also becomes more apparent in the dry down. An interesting fragrance that can bring back strong feelings of nostalgia for those who grew up in the 60's. Well done.

There’s something about this perfume that really captivated me. I won’t say it’s not cannabis but then again it definitely not it alone. I think the perfume is quite well blended because I can’t really break the notes down into the pyramid at all. I just love it as a whole BUT hate it for its close to skin scent silage. I sprayed it on my wrist, my napes, my collar, my sleeve, and I cannot fully say that I can smell it right off. It’s so elusive. One moment I can sort of catch its scent and the next I can’t.

"Music Festival" seems to envelop me in a rather peculiar scent that, for me, strongly resembles sawdust. The singular woody note is predominant and somewhat overpowers any other subtleties that might be present in the perfume. This could possibly be attributed to the fact that the bottle I received, though it was unopened, was from the year 2017. It's quite disappointing, as the scent doesn't match my initial experience. However, I remain uncertain. If I ever come across it again, I'll have to verify.

This fragrance is really something special. The sweetness of the red apple with the incense and patchouli really steal the show for me while the cannabis is very subtle and well blended which I like a lot. This is an earthy, woodsy, herbal, bold and beautiful unisex fragrance. On my skin, I get the sweetness, incense, and herbal notes-on my fiance's skin, it's much more woody and leathery. This is so unique and lovely that I hope to keep this in our collection for a long time. Bummer it's discontinued.

Yes, yes I love it. This takes me back to Glastonbury in the late 90s smell of booze, weed, sweat sweat and earthiness, it really is captured magically. Totally unisex to me, will smell good on both male/female. Maison Margiela replica line is so fun and unique, I plan to buy them all. So far I have this and my love By The Fireplace. I think Whispers in the library will be next. I didn't blind buy them but bought them after 1st sniff in a department store.

Woow. This was a lot better than I expected. It smells exactly what I'd imagine Woodstock to have smelt like - hippie. The apple is extremely subtle, and I honestly do not smell any cannabis. A friend said they totally smell it; "it is as if someone were describing the smell of weed". Despite not seeing that for myself, I still love this perfume and see myself making it my daily! I wore it through working out and it lasted a lot better than expected too.

I have a sample of this which I just got from Sephora today. It is indeed skunky to my nose with the cannabis accord. Not overly potent which is nice, because you definitely don't want to come off smelling like you just smoked a fat one (unless that's your thing). Will do a full wear sometime soon. It's also spicy which I love. As of right now I'm giving it a 7/10 for creativity.

I got my hands on a sample size, I'm huffing it like a sharpie. This scent is where I go in my daydreams, imagining myself living in California and going to Coachella in 2013. Particularly the feeling I get from the song Novocaine by Frank Ocean. I will be saving it to smell but not to wear because there's little left. I'm going to be on the hunt for a larger size.
