Maison Margiela will release "Mutiny," the first fragrance created by John Galliano. An installation showcasing the fragrance, which also serves as a fragrance unveiling, began on November 30th at Maison Margiela in Omotesando.


"Mutiny" features a clear, ten-sided bottle filled with golden liquid. A gold "Mutiny" emblem appears from the inside of the bottle. From the bottle design to the fragrance itself, they express the "décortiqué" concept of destruction and deconstruction that John Galliano introduced in his "Artisanal" collection.

The new fragrance, created in collaboration with perfumer Dominique Ropion, is based on tuberose, known as the most complex flower in perfumery. The top notes are a tuberose heart with fruity coconut and lactone, the middle notes are a blend of jasmine and tuberose absolute reminiscent of orange, and the base is a creamy scent reminiscent of the sun that envelops the whole. The ads feature Willow Smith, Princess Nokia, Molly Bair, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Sasha Lane, and Teddy Quinlivan as the "Mutinists." Photographer Craig McDean captured portraits of the young Mutinists, all in their teens and twenties. The installation at the venue will express the Maison's idea of mutiny (rebellion) through a short film created by Fabien Baron. Available until December 7th.
