The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Bubble Bath by Maison Martin Margiela launched in 2020 as a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that quickly became emblematic of the early-2020s 'clean girl' aesthetic. The scent opens with a soapy, powdery note that reads like freshly washed linen, followed by lavender and coconut that evoke a spa-like atmosphere. However, its reception is polarized: while fans adore its soft, soothing qualities, critics often find it artificial or stale after a few hours.

How to wear it

One spray is plenty — the soapy top notes are bright but fleeting. This fragrance works best for short outings or indoor settings where its initial burst of freshness can shine without fading into flatness.
