The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018 by Maison Martin Margiela, Mutiny is a daring Oriental Floral fragrance for both women and men. Created by perfumers Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent, this composition opens with a vibrant citrus and green accord that gives way to a heart of tuberose and white florals. The base notes introduce an unexpected animalic twist with leather and agarwood (oud), adding depth and complexity. Mutiny is not just a fragrance; it's a journey through contrasts, from the freshness of pear and mandarin orange to the warmth of vanilla and saffron.

How to wear it

Apply Mutiny to pulse points for a balanced scent experience. The citrus and green notes are bright but fleeting, so the rich base will carry you through the day. It’s best worn in cooler weather when the warmth of the vanilla and oud can be fully appreciated.
