Maison Margiela. These aren't "replicas" of another brand. They are "replicas" of a moment in time. It's their shtick.
Jazz Club and By The Fireplace are great winter scents, although the latter can be polarizing. Both are on the more masculine side. Lazy Sunday Morning is subtle but great. Feels like spring and daytime. More unisex scent.
Autumn Vibes was meh for me. But I'll give my tester another go and see if my mind has changed.
$75 are good prices for these. If I didn't already own the three that I like on this list, this would be an auto-buy for me.
Jazz Club and By The Fireplace are both solid buys.. but the longevity is pretty poor. Smells great, just doesn't last. With that said, I've bought the knockoff/clones of By the Fireplace and the scent just isn't the same. Stick to these original 'replicas'.
Better deals on these:
* ROSS has both By The Fireplace and Jazz Club in a set: 30ml (1oz) + 100ml (3.4oz refill) for $70 each
* Even better, see if you have a "LUXURY BEAUTY STORE" nearby. This is the official L'Oreal discounter, and they have the 30ml + 100ml sets on sale for $51 each (Jazz Club, By The Fireplace, Beach Walk)
You do realize that Maison Margiela is actually a pretty established fashion brand, right?
These fragrances aren't clones or dupes, they're all original scents. They're meant to replicate real-life "memories", and the brand itself has been around doing high end stuff for years.
To call them unestablished and then recommend Maison Alhambra who is a cheap clone house is just bonkers. Some of Alhambra's knockoffs are decent, but quite a bit of it is so far off from the originals and come in awful looking cheap bottles. They get hyped online for being $20 and trying to smell like a Tom Ford.

Wow, me too! I thought I was crazy to think there was an issue with these scents purchased from Costco. Turns out Costco is not considered a certified reseller so there is no guarantee of authenticity.
Costco sells authentic, I don't have doubt about it. But, I guess the when I returnedot about perfume being authentic , its more to do with the longevity, because sometime they send the bad batch, sometimes, lot of time they sit idle in shelve and that's what the rep told me when I retunred it might be old batch.

Thanks very much for your detailed feedback.
Can you please let me know the projection and longevity of The Fireplace and Jazz Club, more interested in Fireplace?
of late, not sure, I had a very big disappointment with Costco, I had to return two perfumes due to projection and longevity issues, one of the perfumes was Tom Ford Oud I mean seriously, not expecting Tom Ford caliber perfume to perform so poorly, the projection was weak, but the longevity was just 30 mins seriously.
Costco only sells legit fragrances.
The REPLICA line and OUD WOOD are both pretty poor performers, not lasting long at all. These are the same case if you buy them directly from the manufacturer, they're just not long-lasting.
A tip for ALL fragrances -- once you get them, and spray it for the first time, most tend to not last too terribly long. As you continue to use it, it will 'strengthen' over time (some call it 'Maceration'), the idea is that air getting into the bottle and it settling more will somehow increase performance. I don't know the math, it sounds fake, but it does actually work. Spraying a bottle of "Sauvage" today versus spraying it and then letting the bottle sit for a few months and then going back to it, it will often seem to last longer when you go back to it. Not sure of the math, but I have a few fragrances I bought extra-bottles of, and when comparing the end of my first bottle to opening a brand new bottle (purchased at the same time), the longevity/projection are different until it ages a bit more.

I have Jazz Club from last year at Costco. IMHO its horrible smelling but I am more of Acqua Di Gio Profumo smell
Totally different scent profiles - Jazz Club smells like.. a jazz club. Smoky/tobacco/vanilla/alcohol.. Acqua di Gio smells like Fresh/Citrus/Acquatic notes.
ADG is great during the day time and summer, Jazz Club is a great night-time or winter scent.

Jazz Club and By The Fireplace are great winter scents, although the latter can be polarizing. Both are on the more masculine side. Lazy Sunday Morning is subtle but great. Feels like spring and daytime. More unisex scent.
Autumn Vibes was meh for me. But I'll give my tester another go and see if my mind has changed.
