French luxury fashion label Maison Margiela has teamed up with distributor Aura Prestige to launch its first fragrance flagship in Singapore. The new retail store, located in Takashimaya Mall, will offer shoppers the brand's signature Replica fragrance collection, which includes 15 unique perfumes. In addition, the store will sell all seven of Maison Margiela's candles.
As for the design of the flagship, the 700-square-foot space will boast all-white decor and a life-sized bottle of Mason Margiela's iconic perfume, Lazy Sunday Morning. However, the white setting is offset by a multicolored luminous canopy that intends to lead customers towards the store's Olfactive Discovery Zone -- a unique installation featuring a projection screen and physical perfume display.
Elsewhere, the Novelty Highlight Zone features the brand's top-selling scents, while The Home Scenting zone is dedicated to the brand's candles and features a cozy sofa for lounging.
