Maison Margiela Fragrances invites guests into its evocative world with House of Memories, an immersive pop-up. Designed to reflect the Maison’s avant-garde sensibilities, the space offers a multi-sensory journey through the beloved REPLICA collection. Scents such as "Lazy Sunday Morning" and "By the Fireplace" are reimagined within interactive settings, while the Fantasies collection—"Soul of the Forest", "Flying", and "Dancing on the Moon"—unfolds in surreal, otherworldly installations that transform memory into atmosphere.
At the heart of the experience lies the Afternoon Delight Café, inspired by the newest REPLICA Eau de Toilette. Here, visitors are invited to indulge in madeleines and aromatic lattes amidst the soft glow of a Parisian afternoon. Beyond fragrance, guests may take part in creative masterclasses led by local artisans Baremetal on 5 & 6 May and Hier Goods on 15 & 16 May, where memory is expressed through craftsmanship. From hand-forged keyrings to wax-sealed letters, each session includes a thoughtful keepsake and curated gift set.
