MARGARET represents new beginnings.
For my husband and me, it's tied to a story that came full circle — young love, time apart, and finding our way back to each other years later.
I still remember the rich scent of currant he burned in his Corona del Mar bachelor pad. Warm. Familiar. Comforting in a way that lingered. (I changed this a bit)
Life moved quickly after that. We married. Blended our family. Created a home on Margaret Drive, where new memories continue to unfold.
New beginnings keep unfolding — and 890 is Backhouse's newest home, where the next chapter is already taking shape.
That sense of nostalgia layered with possibility is what inspired MARGARET — a fragrance that feels meaningful, expressive, and deeply personal. Designed to honor where you've been while making space for what comes next.
