REPLICA Afternoon Delight
Warm & Cozy
Fragrance description:
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.

A WARM & COZY FRAGRANCE
How to use
- As damp skin locks in the scent, apply the fragrance straight after showering or bathing and before getting dressed.
- Apply the fragrance on your pulse points for a more seductive effect and stronger diffusion. Spray the fragrance from at least 15-20 centimeters from the area of application.
- For a more diffused effect, spray the fragrance in the air and walk through it.
- Wait until the fragrance has dried down on your skin before smelling it. Rubbing the skin after spraying the perfume will destroy the bond and alter the scent.
