Anguish & Awe Maison Martin Margiela

Anguish & Awe is presented as Chapter 3 of Maison Margiela's Scentsorium collection, centered on the emotional contrast of stepping into the unknown. The composition opens with bergamot, develops through geranium and Madagascar rose absolute, and settles into Virginia cedarwood and a leather accord, giving the fragrance a floral profile with fresh, green and leathery facets. "For me, 'Anguish and Awe' perfectly encapsulates that blend of excitement and apprehension inherent in first-time experiences, achieved through a striking collision of raw and pure ingredients: rose and leather."Delphine Lebeau.
