Fragrances Similar To From The Garden Maison Margiela

Written By Mousumi Tani

A few days back my mother asked me to find some of the dupes of From The Garden by Maison Martin Margiela, as she liked it on her friend.

She didn’t want to spend a hefty amount but loved its chypre-floral fusion. Therefore, I decided to dig deep and found some amazing alternatives to Replica’s From The Garden.fragrances-similar-to-from-the-garden-maison-margiela

All of them share a similar profile with praiseworthy performance. If you want to know about the replacement, hold on to this article till the end.

What Does From The Garden Maison Martin Margiela Smell Like?

Maison Martin Margiela’s From The Garden starts with a citrusy sensation of green mandarin and grapefruit. In the core, tomato leaves infuse an uplifting and crisp green aroma. Gradually, it evolves into a dark base with patchouli’s earthy aroma that adds depth to the fragrance.

From the first sniff, I was stunned by the artful job Olivier Cresp has done in crafting this scent.

Its fresh and bright notes will perfectly complement your colorful summer looks or the breezy winter days.

Now, let’s take a look at the notes pyramid of From The Garden EDT:

Top Notes: Green Mandarin, Grapefruit, Blackcurrant

Middle Notes: Tomato Leaf, Geranium, Rose

Base Notes: Patchouli, Moss, White Musk

Upon the first splash of MMM’s From the Garden, it invigorated my soul with a refreshing citrusy aroma of green mandarin and grapefruit. Plus, their juicy hint added a feel of delight to my senses.

Although it has blackcurrant in the top layer, I couldn’t find its prominence among the tangy notes.

Gradually, a calming, soft, and fresh leafy aroma starts to radiate from the tomato leaf at heart. Its combination with the rosy nuance of geranium ensures to indulge you in a cheering wave with every whiff.

When the scent settles in, patchouli comes to light with an intense earthy sensation. It’s dark tone injects an intense and heavy vibe into the surroundings.

This perfume lasts for roughly 6-7 hours. My mother already asked me to find some of its dupes due to the price point but its performance is also my initiation point to do so.

Check out the following section to explore my findings.

What Fragrances Are Similar To From The Garden Maison Martin Margiela?

The brand Maison Martin Margiela has a lovely intention to replicate memories through its aromatic creation. Thus, I love each of their releases and often try to find substitutes for the perfumes.

From The Garden is another timeless fragrance from MMM that will relate you to all the soul-quenching memories with every sniff.

Hence, I did not waste a single chance to find the worthy dupes of From The Garden EDT and I am excited to discuss them with you.

Here are the top 6 fragrances that smell similar to From The Garden:

1. L’Ombre Dans L’Eau Eau de Toilette Diptyque

Notes: Mandarin Orange, Bergamot, Cassis, Black Currant Leaf, Black Currant, Rose, Ambergris, Musk

My father has been using L’Ombre Dans L’Eau EDT by Diptyque for a long time. So when my mother gave me the sample of From The Garden, I instantly perceived a profound similarity between the two.

The top layer of L’Ombre Dans L’Eau flourishes with an enlivening citrusy sensation of Mandarin orange and bergamot.

While their juicy, tangy hints energize you with their subtle aromatic touch, a herbaceous, green aroma of black currant leaf will enhance that soothing experience for you.

In a few moments, Rose’s enchanting floral aura mingles with the herbal nuance. Plus, it injects a slightly powdery twist that instantly evokes all the pleasing memories.

Upon dry-down, the animalic twist of ambergris along with the pleasing musky notes gives this fragrance a closer vibe to From the Garden.

The best thing is that this mass-appealing, unique scent will linger on your body for around 10 hours and its room-filling projection is a conversation starter.

When to Wear

L’Ombre Dans L’Eau EDT has a notable amount of bright notes. Thus this scent is a perfect pick for summer and spring. Its dark notes are suitable for mild cold weather, too. However, due to the close-to-skin projection, it only works fine during the daytime.

Why Should You Buy

  • Smells quite the same as From The Garden.
  • Fresh rosy notes that everyone loves.
  • Composed with high-quality ingredients.
  • Impressive sillage and longevity.
  • Both men and women can use this.
  • A great scent to pull on romantic occasions.

Top Notes: Galbanum, Basil, Black Currant

Middle Notes: Lily-of-the-Valley, Hyacinth, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Almond

Base Notes: Oakmoss, Patchouli

A bit more floral and seductive than Replica From The Garden, but synthetic Jungle by Fredric Malle is one of the closest alternatives to it.

The opening of Synthetic Jungle comes with a green, fougere aura from black currant’s dark twist to elevate its masculine hunch.

Alongside that, a minty, herbaceous hint of basil feels like a reviving tonic.

Gradually the scent collaborates three amazing floral notes at heart. The seduction of jasmine, sweet lily of the valley, and the richness of ylang-ylang will make you experience the vibe of a morning blooming garden.

Plus, a subtle nutty touch of almond with hyacinth’s multidimensional flowery tone balances it from becoming nauseating.

It turns dark as the base comes to light with patchouli’s exotic earthy sensation overlapped with oakmoss.

Such a heavy projecting cologne with 10+ hours of longevity received enormous appreciation just within a month of release.

When to Wear

The cypre-aromatic notes of Synthetic Jungle are best suited for the daytime in warmer climates. I find it a viable option during early fall time as well.

Why Should You Buy

Though its opening may not show that resemblance, when vetiver and oakmoss spread a dark, earthy aroma in the base, that heavily reminds me of From The Garden.

There are many best-smelling Chanel perfumes, but Cristalle’s timeless blend asserts uniqueness in every layer.

Likewise, From The Garden, Eau De Campagne starts with a revitalizing herbaceous aroma of tomato leaf and citrusy bergamot.

After a while, the rosy elegance of geranium in combination with a carnal, floral sensation of jasmine and lily of the valley magnifies the sophisticated charm of this fragrance.
