New from Maison Margiela fragrances, REPLICA Afternoon Delight is a sweet yet light, ambery gourmand perfume that captures the memory of delectable self-indulgences. The madeleine accord blends with the woody notes of sandalwood, whipped vanilla, and musk to create a rich and creamy unisex fragrance that will evoke your sweetest memories.
The signature ingredient in this gourmand fragrance, the Madeleine accord, transports you to a Parisian café where the uplifting aroma of warm vanilla and freshly-baked pastries fills the air. A moment to treat oneself and allow all cares to slip away…
Key notes: Madagascar Vanilla, Madeleine Accord, Sandalwood and Musk
To be honest with you, I am not really a fan of sweet gourmand scents but this one turned out to be a pleasant surprise! I love how it smells sweet and delicious without being cloying or overwhelming — somehow it manages to strike the perfect balance between the creamy sweetness of vanilla & madeleine accord with the warmth and coziness of sandalwood & musk.
REPLICA Afternoon Delight feels like a sprinkle of joy and indulgence in your day, evoking a sense of comfort and conjuring a moment of “me time,” where the ordinary fades away. It reminds me of my summer vacation in Paris last year, strolling through the streets, enjoying sweet treats at a cafe…such sweet memories!
The longevity and sillage of this fragrance are fantastic—it lasts all day on my skin and the scent lingers on my clothes as well. If you love warm and cozy gourmand scents, REPLICA Afternoon Delight is sure to please! It’s especially perfect for fall and winter months ahead due to its warm profile.
Maison Margiela REPLICA Afternoon Delight Eau de Toilette is available at Sephora for $85 (1 oz bottle) and $165 (3.4 oz bottle). There is also a travel-size spray (0.34 oz) available for $35.
