Maison Margiela's Beach Walk perfume, described as 'perfect for warm beachy days,' is now available at a 20% discount at Sephora. The 30ml bottle, originally priced at £62, has been reduced to £49.45.
A Fragrance That Captures Summer Memories
The Replica range by Maison Margiela aims to evoke specific moments in time. Beach Walk is inspired by a Calvi memory from 1972, inviting wearers to 'take a stroll along a white sandy beach as summer rays warm the skin.' The scent opens with bright notes of bergamot, pink pepper, and lemon, transitions into a heart of ylang ylang and coconut milk, and settles into a base of musk and cedarwood.
Other Beach-Inspired Alternatives
Phlur's Beach Skin fragrance offers a similar vibe with tiare blossom, coconut milk, pink pepper, bergamot, salt, and sandalwood. It is available as a body spray (£26) and a shimmering body oil (£45). Jo Malone London has also reintroduced Beach Blossom Cologne (£90 for 50ml), which is more floral but equally popular.
Customer Reviews and Application Tips
Beach Walk has earned an average rating of 4.31 out of 5 from over 2,070 reviews at Sephora. One customer raved: 'As soon as you smell this you feel like you are at the beach. I love tropical fragrances and this one is perfect.' Another noted: 'Perfect for warm, beachy days... light, clean, and effortlessly pretty.' However, some users mentioned that the scent does not last long. To improve longevity, apply to pulse points after moisturising, ideally with a matching body oil.
Despite mixed feedback on staying power, many are delighted. One reviewer said: 'If you want to smell like a coconut dream this is the perfume for you! It lasts all day long and I've gotten many compliments.'
