“Sunscreen, warm sand, and the pleasant emptiness of a slow summer afternoon.”
Part of Maison Margiela's Replica collection, Beach Walk is a 2012 composition by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud and Marie Salamagne built around ylang-ylang and coconut milk, with bergamot at the top and musk below. Yellow-floral, sweet and coconut accords lead. Frequently compared to Tom Ford Soleil Blanc (2016). A summer daytime scent.
