Maison Martin Margiela Replica Up At Dawn

Up At Dawn by Maison Martin Margiela is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women launched in 2025. 

Notes of Elemi Earthy Notes, Pink Pepper; Rose, Ambrette, Orris; Musk, Patchouli, Moss and Cashmeran.

Inspired by the scent of a rose garden at daybreak, the composition focuses on the freshness of roses touched by morning dew, combined with gently spicy and resinous nuances. Pink pepper, elemi and an earthy accord introduce the fragrance with a bright, slightly peppery impression. A heart of rose, orris and ambrette brings floral, powdery and soft musky tones, while patchouli, moss, cashmeran and musk in the base create a woody, mossy and smooth drydown that recalls the atmosphere of lush garden greenery.

REVIEWS

Fragrantica - Initial spray is pink pepper but only for a second or two. Next comes an extreme rose bomb. Sweet, jammy and tart. Let it settle for 15 minutes or so and you are left with the most beautiful and realistic rose in morning dew. It makes me think of the roses I have smelled with dewdrops on the petals.

It is not the mature rose scent or old lady rose. It is far more the youthful kind with a naturelike clean scent that still lingers hours after.
The earthyness I get is a dewy, mossy, clean type of profile that comes later on when the rose has settled even more after a few hours.

A scent made for the mystique that a foggy morning brings. Surrounded by the roses of pink and white. And a breath of moist air with mossy treestems in the distance.
I adore this, it is so lovely and such an everyday scent.

Fragrantica -  I love this so much! It reminds me of both byredo Young rose and also a bit of Diptyque Eau rose EdP. Such a perfect fresh, natural dewy rose with a bit of greenness for spring and summer (i would use this for fall and winter as well)

Fragrantica - This smells SO good! It smells very nostalgic, like this is how life used to smell back in the day. Probably the best "replica" of Maison Margiela, it is mastercrafted. If I were a girl, I would definitely wear this fragrance. I might just gift it to my sister or mother, as this would smell wonderful on a woman.

Sephora - I love this scent, its rosie but not old rose, its such a feminine fragrance. I can smell the woodiness of it as a garden, i can smell the leaves and roots of the rose garden its so romantic and magnetic.

Sephora - My absolute new favorite perfume! The notes of rose and musk work so perfectly with each other. The perfect spring perfume to add to my collection, love it so much!

Sephora - I absolutely love this scent. It smells sweet and like rose. I definitely recommend. It’s not too rosey like most scents and has a musk hint to it as well. It has become one of my day to day perfumes

Sephora - I’ve been wearing this for the past few weeks and it’s quickly become one of those perfumes I reach for without even thinking. The scent is warm and comforting but still feels elevated and unique. It has that signature Maison Margiela vibe where it almost feels like a memory in a bottle rather than just a typical fragrance.
At first spray it’s a little brighter, then it settles into this really smooth, cozy scent that lasts throughout the day without being overpowering. I’ve gotten multiple compliments while wearing it, and it layers really nicely with other scents too.
