About

Flying by Maison Margiela is a vivid, effervescent citrus-floral fragrance that opens with a dazzling rush of bergamot and orange blossom, accented by petitgrain and a hint of almond. Neroli and ylang-ylang lend a silky floral heart, while ozonic notes and musk evoke the sensation of crisp air and open sky. The composition is light, radiant, and clean, with subtle green and mossy undertones that keep it lively and transparent. It wears like a sunlit breeze, energising and contemporary, ideal for those who seek a pure, airy scent.
