Try From the Garden at your own pace
From the Garden by Maison Margiela is a perfume, and this page is about trying it in a small size. We have no note list on record for it, so we describe nothing we cannot back up. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
On the skin
We have the name and the house of From the Garden, not its notes. Instead of copying a list from somewhere, we leave that part empty. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.
The status of From the Garden is on request, so the sizes are not open yet. Tell us through the form on this page that you want it, without any obligation. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
We fill From the Garden from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and label it ourselves. The sizes are 2, 5 or 10 ml. Glass does not react with perfume, so what you smell is the perfume itself. Three sizes mean you decide how long you want to test.
Testing it
There is no recorded season for From the Garden. Begin on an ordinary day and take it from there. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather.
There is no audience on file for From the Garden, which leaves it open to anyone curious. If Maison Margiela is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
A full bottle is a long commitment, and a sample lets you make it with open eyes. It is our own decant from the original bottle, labelled by us. This is not an official brand sample and the house is not involved.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Maison Margiela From the Garden and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
No note list is on record with us for Maison Margiela From the Garden, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of From the Garden; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.
The brand
Maison Margiela is a fashion house first, founded in 1988 by Martin Margiela, a Belgian designer, and based in Paris. Its Replica perfumes work like its Replica garments: each reproduces something found, in this case a memory, and says so on a cotton label. A fireplace, a jazz club, a beach walk, a late Sunday in clean sheets. Whether a memory feels like yours is something only your skin can answer, so start with a few 10 ml decants.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
