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 unisexfragrance evokes moments of joyful escapism.
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.
The Bottle: Like its predecessors in the REPLICA COLLECTION the look of Afternoon Delight EDT ‘s bottle is inspired by classic apothecary jars. A cotton label adorns the luxe perfume bottle along with a pump wrapped with rope as a homage to the original couture line. The warm & cozy scent within is echoed by the Polaroid photograph of a madeleine enjoyed outside a Parisian café printed on the outside carton.
