The take

What works

  • Crisp green-vetiver-rose combo that's refreshingly earthy
  • Spring and summer friendly — uplifting without going basic
  • Polarizing in a Margiela way — has an actual character

Trade-offs

  • Earthy patchouli-rose lean isn't for everyone
  • Discontinued — secondary market prices keep climbing
