Invigorating and sunlit, REPLICA Sailing Day feels like bracing ocean spray and wind filled sails, where a custom aquatic accord and airy aldehydes sparkle at the surface before cool juniper and a touch of coriander steer the composition toward iris and rose, finally drifting over red seaweed, mineral toned ambergris, cedar, and ambery woods for a clean, salty woody trail that lingers like a day at sea.

Story & Positioning
Part of Maison Margiela’s REPLICA collection that distills memories into scent, Sailing Day bottles the freshness of open water and the calm thrill of navigation. Brand materials highlight a perfumer-created aquatic accord built with Calone, Aqual, and aldehydes to conjure deep sea clarity, while red seaweed and ambergris accords add salty, mineral depth. The memory is often described as a boat day under bright skies, and the fragrance sits comfortably in the modern, clean marine woody genre for effortless daytime wear across seasons.
Bottle & Design
A tall marine marine-tinted flacon stands upright on a thick glass keel that steadies the form. The face carries a sailcloth-style patch printed with clear type, echoing a skipper’s log. A fine cotton lacing circles the collar and meets an uncovered spray mechanism with a gentle metallic glow. The sea blue liquid lightens in sunlight, leaving a cool, ocean-bound calm wherever it rests.
