Lazy Sunday Morning by Maison Martin Margiela

Smells clean, but not the common kind; rather, a dark, deep clean scent, like the one in my grandmother’s house with the smell of wooden floors and dampness, that enclosed air with white curtains and closed windows letting in just a sliver of light. It brings back memories of a Sunday morning sharing lunch. It’s a nostalgic aroma; I don’t know when I’d want to smell like this, maybe on a Sunday walking under a soft sun looking for a quiet spot to eat.

I tested it in-store and bought the bottle. It’s feminine, fresh, velvety, soft, and easy to wear. Ethereal and delicate, it reminds me of a soft violet tone… Wait! That rose makes me think of my ‘Maybe, Maybe, Maybe…’ from Loewe from years ago. This one has more presence, but the rose behaves the same on my skin. I love the iris. Everything in Perezosa Mañana de Domingo is light; it gives the sensation of half-closed eyes smelling soft flowers, a sigh and rest, or a walk with a fresh breeze. The longevity is optimal and the projection is for personal enjoyment. It has no pretensions, as this collection evokes intimate moments tied to places and dates.

It’s rich, clean, and fresh, ideal for going out for breakfast any day; the name is very fitting. But it’s a flat scent that isn’t worth the cost and can be found in other more convenient options.

Beautiful, soft, delicate, and clean. It makes me feel like a woman wrapped in fine white or light blue silk, walking through a misty garden or among white sheets. It’s perfect for working or studying in enclosed spaces without being overwhelming; no one is bothered, and it smells deliciously clean and fresh-floral, even if many don’t notice it as a perfume. The downside is that longevity and sillage are very poor, which is a shame.

I was eagerly waiting for it; if Idylle and Fashionable London from Zara are similar, I don’t find any resemblance with Narciso’s. I loved the fragrance, but for the price, the sillage and skin persistence disappointed me greatly. I bought the discovery set and was quite disappointed with the brand overall. In Argentina, those perfumes don’t arrive, and an eager person waits to get close to renowned niches, but I was very disappointed. I have untried bottles left, but unfortunately, not only does the scent matter; spending on a perfume with the longevity of a body splash doesn’t make sense.

I really love it.

Fresh and soft, but it fades quickly on my skin; it’s probably better suited for spring or paired with the lotion from the line. What I notice most is the lily, which reminds me of an old perfume from the Jane Austen Center. I like it, but next time I’ll try the Body Lotion to see if it lasts longer.

100% vibe of soft, clean white sheets on a comfortable double bed, with the window open letting in fresh air on a sunny morning.

It’s very similar to Estée Lauder’s Pleasure, but without that metallic note that ruined the original for me. It’s excellent for days when we want a break from so much vanilla and sweetness. Just like its name. 👏👏👏👏

To me, clean scents are a whole different ballgame. On my skin, this smells like citrus and rose, especially the orange blossom, so much so that it makes my mouth water. I don’t detect the other notes. It reminds me of something vintage, but I haven’t quite pinned it down. It smells good, but it’s not for me; I’m not sure if it’s the ambergris; it doesn’t feel comfortable or like fresh white sheets to me. That said, after 8 hours, it’s delicious—the musk remains without losing the orange blossom, just more powdery.

This house has the gift of recreating realism in every bottle, what a pity that due to the price, they don’t last long on the skin, although they are very fine and delicate fragrances. I liked this one and didn’t; it’s musky and even more musky, sometimes it disappears completely, and when you move, you feel that low aldehide with the lily.

Clean aroma, very much in the Narciso Rodríguez style. What I feel most on my skin is the musk and the aldehides to a lesser extent. It doesn’t stand out for anything special, but it’s surely to the taste of lovers of soapy scents.

It’s like freshly sun-dried sheets: you grab the laundry, make the bed, and head off for a nap. After five hours, only vetiver remains, which I don’t love much, but it’s my perfect fragrance for weekend breakfasts or vacations.
