Never Ending Summer

Never Ending Summer, inspired by Maison Margiela Replica Never-Ending Summer (2025)

An Italian spritz accord, bittersweet orange with an aperitif fizz, sets the scene, and bitter orange and pepper sharpen it. Tea follows: an Earl Grey accord, carrying bergamot's floral citrus, spiced with cardamom and nutmeg. That spice is what separates it from a simple cologne. Vetiver, cedarwood and patchouli take it down to an earthy, woody base.

About the original

Now Smell This reported the launch in March 2025. Maison Margiela writes the name with a hyphen, Never-Ending Summer, and gives it the memory label 'Amalfi Coast, 2022'. The perfumer is reported as Christophe Raynaud. It comes in a refillable 100 ml bottle, and the brand page carries no limited-edition wording despite the seasonal name.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Maison Margiela stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Summer is its stated season, though the brand adds that it can be worn all year, and the tea and spice make that plausible. Vetiver and cedar give it weight beneath the citrus. Cardamom and patchouli are part of the structure, so it is not the choice for a purely sparkling lemon scent.

Notes of the original fragrance, as published by the brand.

Top notes: Italian Spritz Accord, Bitter Orange, Pepper

Heart notes: Earl Grey Accord, Cardamom, Nutmeg

Base notes: Vetiver, Cedarwood, Patchouli

The opening is the spritz accord with bitter orange and pepper, bittersweet and effervescent.

Earl Grey sits at the heart with cardamom and nutmeg, aromatic and lightly spiced.

Vetiver, cedar and patchouli take over in the drydown, rooty and woody.

What is an Italian spritz accord?

A blend meant to recall the orange aperitif cocktail: bittersweet citrus with a sparkling quality. Here it is paired with bitter orange and pepper.

Is Never-Ending Summer a limited edition?

No limited-edition wording appears on the brand's product page; it is presented as part of the Replica eau de toilette collection.

How does it differ from Beach Walk?

Beach Walk is a coconut and ylang-ylang scent that recalls sun lotion. Never-Ending Summer is drier, with citrus, tea and spice over vetiver and cedar.
