Maison MargielaScentsorium Ch. 3 Anguish and Awe Parfum
Anguish and Awe, Chapter 3 of Maison Margiela's Scentsorium Collection, explores wonder through the exhilaration and uncertainty of stepping into the unknown. It captures the intensity of experiencing something for the first time, when excitement meets apprehension and the unfamiliar becomes as captivating as it is unsettling.
Fresh bergamot and crisp, green geranium open the fragrance, drawing you toward a vivid rose absolute at its heart. Spicy and richly floral, the rose reveals a darker side as black leather emerges beneath its petals, creating an unexpected tension between floral beauty and sensual intensity. Virginia cedarwood adds woody depth and presence, leaving a lasting trail. Romance meets rebellion in an Ambery Floral Parfum where the beauty of rose is sharpened by the provocative edge of leather.
Anguish and Awe celebrates the complexity of wonder, when the unfamiliar can feel both beautiful and unsettling, and uncertainty heightens the thrill of discovery. Captivating and unexpected, the fragrance embraces the beauty of venturing beyond what is known and the possibilities that may lie ahead.

About the Scentsorium Collection:
Maison Margiela's Scentsorium Collection brings the creative spirit of the House's Artisanal Haute Couture to the art of fine fragrance. Each genderless Parfum explores a fundamental human emotion, unfolding as an olfactory Chapter of Life shaped by contrast, complexity and unexpected expression.
Inspired by Maison Margiela's signature approach to deconstruction and reconstruction, each fragrance transforms emotion into an unconventional olfactory experience. Contrasts and imperfections are embraced rather than concealed, revealing a more instinctive and authentic expression of scent. Together, the Scentsorium Parfums create an experimental world of fragrance where artistry, emotion and the distinctive codes of Maison Margiela converge.
