What it is: A warm and cozy fragrance that captures a moment of self-indulgence, transporting you to Parisian cafe where the aroma of madeleines fills the air.Fragrance story: This sweet yet light, ambery gourmand unisex 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 ordinary 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.
