Description
Scent type: Warm and cozy eau de toilette
Afternoon Delight Eau de Toilette captures a moment of self-indulgence, transporting you to a Parisian café where the uplifting aroma of warm madeleines fills the air. This sweet yet light, ambery gourmand fragrance evokes moments of joyful escapism.
At the heart of the fragrance is a Madeleine accord, evoking Afternoon Delight perfume’s sense of comfort and conjuring a moment of “me time,” where the quotidian fades away. This blends with the creamy and woody notes of Sandalwood, while the deliciousness of Madagascan Vanilla Pod lingers in the fragrance. These notes all capture the memory of an enveloping moment for oneself.
To compose REPLICA Afternoon Delight, master perfumer Carlos Benaïm was inspired by the transporting feeling immortalized by Marcel Proust in his 1913 novel “À la recherche du temps perdu.” The madeleine has since come to symbolize taking a moment to pause and recall the memory of a fleeting indulgence. Maison Margiela REPLICA Afternoon Delight is a fragrance that captures this delightful moment in a finely crafted artistic olfactory creation.
Step into a charming Parisian café and experience the aroma of freshly baked madeleines. Their delicate sweetness lingers in the air, beautifully balanced by the gentle warmth of refined sandalwood.
As the Afternoon Delight Eau de Toilette fragrance unfolds, the sweetness deepens and intertwines with a touch of addictive vanilla, lingering on the palate like the final, satisfying taste of a perfect madeleine. It's an invitation to escape the everyday and treat yourself to a moment of pure indulgence.
