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.
