Launched in 2017 by Maison Martin Margiela, Music Festival is a Woody Chypre fragrance that captures the essence of an electrifying festival atmosphere. The composition opens with cannabis and red apple notes, creating a vibrant and energetic top layer. This freshness gives way to a heart of violet leaf and patchouli, adding depth and complexity. At its core, tobacco, incense, leather, cypress, and cedar create a smoky and warm spicy base that resonates like the lingering echoes of a night well-lived under the stars.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays liberally for an immersive experience. The fragrance's smoky base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so it’s best used in the evening when you want a scent that evolves throughout the night.
