At the heart of the fragrance is a Madeleine accord, that evokes Afternoon Delights sense of comfort, while conjuring a moment of me time, in which the quotidian appears to fade away. This blends with the creamy and woody notes of Sandalwood, while the deliciousness of Madagascan Vanilla Pod lingers in the fragrance.

To compose Afternoon Delight, master perfumer Carlos Benam looked to evoke the transporting feeling that famed French author Marcel Proust immortalized in his 1913 novel la recherche du temps perdu. In the novel, the narrator tastes a madeleine dipped in tea, taking him back to his childhood. The madeleine has since come to symbolize taking a moment to pause and recall the memory of a fleeting indulgence. Afternoon Delight is a fragrance that captures this delightful moment in a finely crafted artistic olfactory creation.

Instructions for Use: As damp skin locks in the scent, apply the fragrance straight after showering or bathing and before getting dressed. Apply the fragrance on your pulse points for a more seductive effect and stronger diffusion. Spray the fragrance from at least 15-20 centimetres from the area of application. For a more diffused effect, spray the fragrance in the air and walk through it. Wait until the fragrance has dried down on your skin before smelling it. Rubbing the skin after spraying the perfume will destroy the bond and alter the scent.
