Maison Margiela

What the Maison Margiela range is made of

Across the 26 Maison Margiela fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are musk (42%), bergamot (35%), white musk (31%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads closer to the skin than the catalogue as a whole: projection averages 0.38 against 0.51 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

Maison Margiela covers ground. The average spread across its range is 0.144 — wide enough that liking one Maison Margiela fragrance tells you comparatively little about the rest. Houses like this reward exploring the catalogue rather than trusting the name.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2015.
