The story behind the bottle.
Under The Lemon Tree by Maison Martin Margiela, launched in 2018 and crafted by Violaine Collas, is a fragrance that captures the essence of a bright, sun-drenched grove. The composition opens with lime and petitgrain, creating an invigorating freshness that feels like walking into a lemon orchard on a warm day. As it evolves, cardamom and coriander add a subtle spiciness, while green tea and mate bring a herbal complexity to the scent. The base notes of white musk, cedar, and rock rose ground the composition with an earthy warmth.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a gradual build-up that allows each layer to unfold. The lime and petitgrain top notes are bright but transient, so two sprays will ensure you catch the full evolution from freshness to warmth throughout the day.
