Coffee Break

Coffee Break is a Margiela Replica fragrance for women and men, composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud in 2019 around the idea of a warm cafe on a freezing day. Roasted coffee and milk sit at the centre, creamy rather than bitter, with lavender laid over them so it reads as a dessert garnish instead of a herb. Pepper and orange blossom sharpen the opening, and vanilla, tonka bean and cedar keep the drydown soft. It lasts a moderate while and projects moderately, and it suits autumn and winter days.
