The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Blur by Maison Martin Margiela is an enigmatic fragrance that Blurs the lines between traditional gender categories with its powdery and musky base notes. The opening is marked by a delicate floral touch that transitions into a warm amber accord, balanced by subtle animalic undertones. This composition creates a sense of depth and complexity, making it feel both familiar and mysterious.

How to wear it

Blur's powdery and musky base notes take time to fully integrate with your skin, so apply it in the morning for an all-day scent. It reads best close to the skin rather than projecting across a room, making it perfect for intimate settings or quiet moments.
