A sweet escape to a gourmand paradise
On cold days, the Maison Margiela REPLICA Afternoon Delight Eau de Toilette will wrap you in a warm embrace. Transport your mind to a place where everything is just as it should be - the aroma of warm madeleine sponge cakes permeates the air, so perfect that they must be close by. Every second and every sniff becomes a small but unforgettable pleasure.
Composition of the fragrance:
The bitter essence of almond and the spicy fragrance of angelica draw you into a moment where time stands still. You find yourself in a Parisian café, the air saturated with the sweet scent of fresh madeleines that tempts you to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and treat yourself to a harmless indulgence.
Earthy notes of carrot and the animal essence of ambrette keep you earthbound, while a creamy hint of sandalwood lifts your mind to heaven. The sweetness of Madagascan vanilla develops into a warm caress that stays with you as a memory of this perfect moment.
Story of the fragrance:
When creating REPLICA Afternoon Delight, perfume designer Carlos Benaïm was inspired by the famous moment captured by Marcel Proust in the book In Search of Lost Time. Here, madeleines are symbolic of precious moments for stopping and remembering fleeting instants of calm.
Like other fragrances in the REPLICA collection, the Afternoon Delight bottle is inspired by classic apothecary bottles. The outer box is decorated with a polaroid photograph of a madeleine depicting the warm fragrance inside. Slow down and experience a moment of uninterrupted joy.

Originality, creativity and a touch of provocation - that's the luxury French brand Maison Margiela (formerly Maison Martin Margiela), renowned for its unconventional fashion pieces, unique REPLICA collection and unmistakable fragrances.
In 1988, the designer Martin Margiela founded a luxury fashion house in Paris bearing his name. What sets the Maison Margiela brand apart is its unconventional approach towards fashion and fragrances, which are viewed as works of art. The REPLICA collection from 1994 is particularly remarkable, as it presents pieces of clothing and replicas of handmade accessories from various parts of the world. Each item has its own label describing the material and story behind the original piece. In 2012, this unique collection was expanded so as also to include luxury fragrances.
