Maison Margiela: Anguish and Awe (Update)

Hey good people,

I received the bottle today. After a couple of sprays: very nice, a leather and green rose bomb. It has amazing projection, and I’m 100% sure this thing will last forever.

It opens with a bold leather reminiscent of Tuscan Leather, but quickly reveals a green, slightly metallic undertone that recalls Fahrenheit (first impressions). I’m about 20 minutes in right now, and I’ll post an update once I get the full drydown. Honestly, it’s very nice, like if Tuscan Leather and Fahrenheit had a baby.

Today I’m wearing Red Fever, and I accidentally layered both fragrances… and wow, it’s amazing! This might actually be how I end up wearing it. Red Fever brightens the green notes of Anguish and Awe and makes the whole thing smoother and more rounded.

I’m loving it!!
