By Stefano, founder of The Sweetest Lie | Updated September 2026
Maison Margiela's Replica line is built around memories rather than status — Lazy Sunday Morning, Bubble Bath, Beach Walk. The names tell you exactly what to expect, and the fragrances deliver. They're also expensive: a couple of bottles easily runs past $400 at Australian retail.
We have three fragrances in the clean, intimate, skin-close territory that defines the best of Replica — Lazy Sunday Morning (Lie 97), Bubble Bath (Lie 103) and, from a different house but the same mood, Byredo Blanche (Lie 104). All sold under our own name, hand poured in Sydney, vegan and cruelty-free. (Or shop all Maison Margiela dupes.)
The best clean and intimate fragrance dupes in Australia
1. Maison Margiela Lazy Sunday Morning dupe — Lie 97 ($45)
The most universally loved Replica.
Lazy Sunday Morning smells like warm white linen and soft skin in morning light — aldehydes, iris, white musk and a hint of pink pepper that stops it getting too powdery. It doesn't demand attention; it makes people lean in and ask what you're wearing.
Lie 97 — our Lazy Sunday Morning dupe keeps that warm-linen intimacy, and it's our single most-viewed product.
Notes: Aldehydes, pink pepper, iris, rose, white musk. Best for: Every day, all seasons, all genders.
2. Maison Margiela Bubble Bath dupe — Lie 103 ($55)
Smells exactly like its name.
Bubble Bath is warm, soapy and clean — aldehydes, a soap accord and white musk over a soft floral base. It's a great pick for people who don't usually wear fragrance: it reads as "clean skin" rather than "perfume".
Lie 103 delivers that same soapy comfort.
Notes: Aldehydes, soap accord, white musk, soft florals, sandalwood. Best for: Every day, the office, anyone who prefers subtle fragrance.
3. Byredo Blanche dupe — Lie 104 ($45)
The most polished of the three.
Blanche is Byredo's clean white floral — pink pepper, violet and rose over a powdery white musk and sandalwood base. It smells like freshly laundered silk.
Lie 104 captures that pure, luminous character. See also our Byredo dupes.
Notes: Pink pepper, violet, rose, white musk, sandalwood. Best for: Office, daytime, spring and summer.

Which should I buy?
Lazy Sunday Morning (Lie 97) if you want the definitive clean-skin scent — warm, slightly powdery and intimate.
Bubble Bath (Lie 103) if you want something even simpler — cooler and soapier, like stepping out of the bath.
Blanche (Lie 104) if you want clean with a floral, polished edge — the best choice when you want to smell put-together rather than just clean.
How close are they, and how long do they last?
Close in character, not identical — no dupe is a molecule-for-molecule copy. Clean musky scents are also naturally soft projectors: they sit close to the skin rather than filling a room, so expect a gentler trail than a heavy amber. Spray on moisturised skin or clothing for longer wear — musks cling especially well to fabric. More in how to make perfume last longer.
