Maison Martin Margiela Replica Flower Market EDP
Description
Replica Flower Market recreates the exact moment of stepping into a flower stall at dawn, crushed green stems, buckets of just-cut blooms, and the cool damp air of the market floor. Composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud and Marie Salamagne for Maison Margiela's REPLICA line, it's one of the three founding scents (alongside Beach Walk and Funfair Evening) that launched the collection's “bottled memory” concept in 2012.

- Floral: 44%
- Woody: 33%

Translation: a lush, green-tinged floral built on tuberose and jasmine, warmed by a soft cedarwood-and-oakmoss base rather than anything sugary or heavy.

FAQ
Is Flower Market an EDT or an EDP?
It's an Eau de Toilette. Maison Margiela has never released Flower Market as an EDP, despite older listing language suggesting otherwise.
Is it men's or women's?
Flower Market is marketed as a women's fragrance, though its fresh, green character wears well on anyone who likes true-to-life floral scents.
What's the longevity like?
Moderate: expect 4–6 hours of a close, skin-hugging floral rather than an all-day projector.
Can I try a sample first?
Yes. Venba carries Flower Market in 1mL, 5mL, and 10mL sample sizes separately from the full bottle.
