{"product_id":"maison-margiela-afternoon-delight","title":"Afternoon Delight","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarlos Benaim built Afternoon Delight in 2024 around a very specific kind of sweetness: the warmth of a French afternoon with something baked on the table. Vanilla and whipped cream open with a softness that madeleine then deepens, the pastry note giving the composition a specific, Proustian reference rather than a generic sweet. Sandalwood and musk in the base are understated and warm, holding the gourmand accord in a woody frame that keeps the sweetness at wearable rather than cloying. The delight is in the specificity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Carry This\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe madeleine note in Afternoon Delight is the precise compositional choice that makes this more than another vanilla fragrance. Benaim's reference is literary and specific, and the sandalwood-musk base gives the pastry accord a longevity that keeps the composition present throughout a long afternoon. The Replica line at its most gourmand and most convincing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Peach, Apricot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Rose, Tuberose\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandalwood, White Musk, Cedarwood, Ambrette\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccords:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral, Fruity, Musk, Sweet, Powdery, Woody\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carlos Benaïm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaunched:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Margiela","offers":[{"title":"3.4 oz","offer_id":48123463860468,"sku":"3614274226454 - Q5","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/2472\/7796\/files\/studio_3373bb89-bfaa-4082-9cd4-738db93af050.jpg?v=1780337642","url":"https:\/\/www.casaalcheme.com\/products\/maison-margiela-afternoon-delight","provider":"Casa Alchemē","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
