Sephora has discounted 15% off Maison Margiela’s Replica range, including the ‘must-have’ Jazz Club. The ‘addictive’ scent would normally cost £60, but it’s now discounted to £51.
It’s part of the brand’s memory in a fragrance range, and takes inspiration from a Brooklyn nightclub in 2013. It opens up with notes of pink pepper, neroli and lemon. The heart takes a boozy turn with rum, java vetiver oil and clary sage. It finishes with a base of tobacco leaf, vanilla bean and styrax.
The nose behind this fragrance is Alienor Massenet, who has worked on many scents, including at least 28 from luxury brand Memo Paris.

It’s pulled in an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 790 reviews. One shopper said: “Absolutely love this fragrance. I got it for my fiancé for his birthday. It’s just gorgeous. Warming scent and very sexy. Smells like its title for real.”
A second penned: “Best thing I’ve ever smelled. I don’t understand what it is about this fragrance, but I’m addicted to it. It’s deep and woody, but also sweet and smoky and just overall complex. It’s unisex enough for my boyfriend to wear, but I’m rationing it so he doesn’t. It’s an incredible autumn/winter scent, in my opinion. I can’t see anyone not liking this.”
A third wrote: “A must-have for a man’s cologne shelf. I purchased for my partner. It’s officially his favourite perfume, and I melt it every time he walks by. It’s the perfect warm fragrance with a hint of cigar smoke.”
A fourth added: “Literally everywhere I go, I’d wear this, and people will compliment me. Very nice scent that gives the vibe of being at an upscale cocktail bar. Lasts so long and boosts my confidence when I go for a night out. I’ve tried other similar scents and always go back to this one.”
The main complaint it’s brought in is due to its longevity. One shopper said: “I really enjoyed the initial scent of the product; it was quite pleasing. However, I noticed that after just one hour, the fragrance seemed to diminish on my skin, and it didn’t retain its initial strength.”
Our team’s perfume expert, Jada Jones, says: “I often hear people complain about the longevity of their perfume, but I think it’s important to pay attention to the application. It’s best to apply perfume to clean and freshly moisturised skin. I also recommend applying one to two sprays to your pulse points, such as your wrists and behind your ears. Do not then rub your wrists together, just allow the perfume to settle. If you apply this way, it should last longer.”
This is popular with fans of Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille, which retails at £145 for a 30ml bottle. If you like something a little boozier then Kilian’s Angel’s Share but at £210 a bottle it’s not the most budget friendly.
