Maison Martin Margiela Chasing Sunsets
Chasing Sunsets Eau de Toilette is a unisex fragrance by Maison Martin Margiela, released in 2026 as part of the Replica collection.
This eau de toilette has a distinctive chypre-fruity-floral character, created for those who appreciate contrast, atmosphere and unusual combinations of familiar accords in perfumery.
The name Chasing Sunsets perfectly conveys the mood of the composition.
It combines a juicy fruity facet, spicy warmth and a rich white-floral theme that gradually transition into a soft woody-gourmand base.
Thanks to its unisex positioning, the fragrance can unfold differently on the skin, highlighting the individual style of the person wearing it.
Fragrance character and development
The opening of Chasing Sunsets Eau de Toilette revolves around cardamom and mango, where spicy freshness meets sunny, juicy fruitiness.
Then the composition becomes fuller and more floral, while tuberose adds creamy richness and striking expressiveness.
In the base, the fragrance takes on a warm, enveloping character.
Moss creates a chypre texture, sandalwood adds a smooth woody dimension, and vanilla softens the transition, leaving a pleasant gourmand aftertaste.
As a result, Chasing Sunsets comes across as a contrasting fragrance with a vivid opening, a rich heart and a deep base.
Olfactive pyramid and profile
The composition belongs to the chypre, floral and fruity fragrance families, with additional facets that are earthy and mossy, fruity, gourmand, spicy, white-floral and woody.
This combination makes the fragrance multifaceted: it is simultaneously sunny, sensual, spicy and slightly mysterious.
Perfumer team and brand style
Chasing Sunsets was created by a team of perfumers: Dora Baghriche-Arnaud, Elise Benat, Gabriela Chelariu and Coralie Spicher.
Their collaboration reflects the aesthetic of Maison Martin Margiela, a brand founded by Belgian designer Martin Margiela in 1988 and known for its philosophy of anonymity, deconstruction and intellectual reinterpretation of familiar forms.
This release is particularly interesting within the Replica collection because of its emotional direction.
It does not simply present a selection of notes; it creates an image of a warm evening, shifting light and a memorable moment, characteristic of the concept of memory fragrances.
Sillage and wearability
According to its positioning, Chasing Sunsets has a very strong sillage.
It is therefore worth choosing when you want a noticeable, expressive presence: it is suitable for evening outings, special occasions and cool weather, while on a hot day it calls for more cautious application.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing have not been provided for this release.
Given its pronounced sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and assess how it develops on your own skin before applying more.
Who is Chasing Sunsets for?
Chasing Sunsets is a choice for women and men who enjoy fruity-floral compositions with a spicy accent and a dense woody-vanilla base.
It is worth trying for those looking not for a neutral everyday fragrance, but for a distinctive perfume with character and a striking presence.
If you would like to compare its mood with other compositions, consider Boucheron Tubereuse de Madras, Rochas Byzance and Ted Lapidus Creation.
At the same time, Chasing Sunsets retains its individuality through the combination of mango, tuberose, moss, sandalwood and vanilla.
