Afternoon Delight Maison Margiela 2024

I like many fragrances from the Replica line and Afternoon Delight was a successful blind buy. Unlike what I expected, it starts off like a fresh summer breeze (similar in feel to Beach Walk). If sunbeams on a sunny spring morning in Paris had a fragrance, this would be it. A very nice clear and not too cool or scratchy musk opens this fragrance on my skin. A slightly nutty bitter almond (and it's really bitter), plus a delicate hint of madeleine (such a nice cake base/biscuit scent mhhh) comes into my nose. Probably the lightest and airiest gourmand on the market. Your Skin but better - interpreted by a French patisserie.
