Maison Margiela Sailing Day is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017, created by Violaine Collas. Sailing Day opens with Sea Water, Pimiento, Coriander, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Amyl Salicylate, Rose, Iris, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Ambergris, Seaweed, and Amberwood. Maison Margiela's Sailing Day carries a Favourite verdict, a marine-led wear.

Sailing Day is the quintessential aquatic - crystalline, breezy, and evocative of blue horizons. Effortlessly clean and quietly invigorating, it is perfect for those who want a scent that whispers, never shouts.

About

Sailing Day opens with a rush of salty marine and ozonic notes, conjuring the brisk air and infinite blue of the open sea. Hints of seaweed, coriander, and juniper add a subtle herbal dimension, while aldehydes and floral salicylates evoke sunlit spray. The cool, aquatic theme is anchored by ambergris, soft woods, and a touch of iris, creating a sheer, weightless impression that is both modern and quietly sophisticated. The overall effect is exhilarating, clean, and unmistakably breezy.
