Has Lipstick On been discontinued?+−
Yes, Maison Margiela has discontinued Lipstick On. It is no longer part of the current Replica lineup, which has led to increased demand and higher prices on the secondary market.
How does this compare to Frédéric Malle Lipstick Rose?+−
While both share a cosmetic theme, Lipstick Rose is often described as a lighter, more floral rose-violet scent. Lipstick On is heavier on the "waxy" lipstick accord, thanks to the orris and galbanum, and has a warmer, creamier vanilla finish.
Is this scent suitable for the office or strictly for evenings?+−
While its name and scent profile suggest a "getting ready" vibe for a night out, its moderate sillage makes it quite wearable for business settings. It is sophisticated and polished rather than loud or aggressive.
Is this considered a very feminine fragrance?+−
It is marketed for women and heavily references feminine grooming rituals like lipstick application. However, fans of iris and powdery scents—regardless of gender—often appreciate its vintage, "old Hollywood" character.
