Anguish & Awe

by Delphine Lebeau

Maison Margiela Anguish & Awe is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Delphine Lebeau. Anguish & Awe opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Leather and Cedar. Maison Margiela's Anguish & Awe carries a Statement verdict, a rose-led wear.

This isn't a shy, retiring rose. Maison Margiela's Anguish & Awe is a bold, edgy take on classic florals, pairing a deep, almost shadowy rose with raw leather for an unforgettable, statement-making scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, divisive but undeniably impactful.

About

Anguish & Awe opens with a brief, bright flash of bergamot before quickly ushering in its star players: a deep, almost jammy rose, softened by the green, slightly peppery facets of geranium. This floral heart is then swathed in a rich, supple leather, lending it an animalic edge that's both sensual and a touch rugged. A base of dry cedar grounds the composition, adding an elegant, woody depth to this prickly yet sophisticated blend.
