By the Fireplace is easily one of the most evocative scents in the collectionmy personal favorite, for what it's worthbecause smoke and warm chestnut instantly transports you somewhere near a warm crackling fire. It starts with a bit of spice and smoke, and once it settles on the skin, that initial smokiness softens into a smooth, vanilla warmth.

What Is A Tabi, Anyway? Inspired by the iconic Maison Margiela Tabi shoe - famous for its split-toe, hoof-like silhouette -these manis feature a distinct slit down the center of each nail, creating a subtle (but striking) divide.

La Maison Champs-Élysées sits quietly within Paris' Golden Triangle, yet inside it unfolds as one of the city's most ambitious design statements. Fifty-seven rooms carry the hotel's identity, with seventeen "Couture Collection" suites serving as Maison Margiela 's first complete interior project. The house's codes are woven through every corridor and chamber, creating an environment where the boundaries between fashion, art, and architecture dissolve.
