Madeleine is actually a small french cake made with a lot of butter, it has a soft sweet buttery smell. Then sometimes people add a hint of vanilla or orange blossom or lemon zest, so the smell variates.
“Madeleines are very small sponge cakes with a distinctive shell-like shape acquired from being baked in pans with shell-shaped depressions. Madeleine-style cookies are popular in a number of culinary traditions. A génoise sponge cake batter is used. The flavour is similar to, but somewhat lighter than, sponge cake. Traditional recipes include very finely ground nuts, usually almonds. A variation uses lemon zest for a pronounced lemony taste. British madeleines also use a génoise sponge cake batter but they are baked in dariole moulds. After cooking, these are coated in jam and desiccated coconut, and are usually topped with a glacé cherry.”
This is a new staple for me. PERIOD. Absolutely beautiful and…graceful and classy. Sweet and refined, not overdone in any way whatsoever. Sooooo perfect!!! I was so happy they didn’t overdo the musk 😊 Bianco Latte is the loud, outgoing girl; Afternoon Delight is the quiet girl next door to me!
Thank you love! ❤️🥰 I try my hardest to always be honest and transparent and I still had a comment in this video saying I only liked it because it was sent to me 🤦🏻♀️ you can never win with some people 😩🤷🏻♀️ How boring would creating videos be if I had to pretend I loved every single thing I tried? 😳😆
I loved it! I can’t wait to see how the vanilla matures and turns the liquid into a darker color. I want to try and layer this with a coffee fragrance.i agree with everything you said about what occasions this would be good for! I can’t stop reaching for it.
Dang I was about to order this but I got an email that mancera amore caffe was back and I really wanted that one!! Anyway you did say afternoon delight was kind of like Bianco latte and I have the “ eclair “ so maybe I’ll just stick with that for now! Glad you are enjoying afternoon delight tho!
I love madeleines, this smells like when you’re baking them and open the oven, that warm sweet whiff, so good! This is a sophisticated gourmand imo, cant wait to rock it in France in a couple of weeks
i blind bought the biggest bottle (all the other sizes were out of stock but i didn’t even care) && was so happy to unbox my package but it never came because they sold out😭 sephora sent me a hand lotion instead i was like no way😭but im so happy you like it !! we have similar noses and i’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews
I ordered mine a week ago and I think it just shipped. I can’t wait to get it because the reviews are all over the place . I usually like what you like, so I’m hopeful.
Wow! I was going to totally bypass this fragrance but, by the way you talked about it, now Im going to go to Sephora and test it and see if it goes on my buy list. Thanks for the review!!!
OMG thank you for making this video!! No Sephoras in my area have testers of Afternoon Delight and I’ve been hesitant to blind buy this because I’ve seen so many mixed reviews about it. Your review has really reassured me since I find that out of all the fragrance CZcamsrs I watch, your nose is the one I relate most to. Can’t wait to try it out for myself!!
I tried this as well .. was not my cup of tea so to speak. My favorites and go to’s from Maison Margiela Paris Replica will always be Jazz Club 🎷 🎺 as well as Coffee Break ☕️ 😍 👌🏽
My camera softens the skin a bit on my sit down videos and the lighting as well but when I film my tutorials for my makeup you can see my skin texture on those. I struggle with hormonal acne once in a while and I do have scaring from high school ☺️
Yayyyyy!! I was just in Sephora on Sunday hoping to smell this one but my store didn’t have it displayed yet!! So excited to hear your thoughts on this one!! I don’t have Dulce yet so I can’t wait to try it!! 💞🩷💞 Thank you so much, queen!! 🥰🥰♥️🫶
Great review and congrats on your PR with Replica and their integrity! 🙌🥳 I can’t wait to get my travel spray! I think this is my first blind buy and I just want to go ham and go for a straight test on my skin! Lol! Go big or go home! 🤣 I want to see how it rides on my skin and not be biased and influenced by how it behaves on paper. As paper can sometimes be deceiving. And good to know about the tip to let it macerate as it may change up and become much better with age. I can’t wait! …I do want to give a little insight as to people’s polarizing experiences with this perfume, which I answered another commenter here: This perfume is very polarizing. Love vs hate. I think it also depends very much on your body chemistry which comes out particularly with lactonic fragrances unfortunately. It comes out amazingly on some peoples skin and others baby spit up, or too base note leaning like too sandalwoody etc. It has a lot to do with whether your skin is alkaline, acidic, or neutral and also scent association, preferences and scent memory. BUT definitely especially with lactonic scents the chemistry of your skin. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Lol! 🧪🥮🌸
Thanks for this review! Everyone has such different noses 😆 because I smelled this and it made me sick.. I was so excited to try this and thought I would love it too 😭 Im coming to realize that I don’t like laconic scents 👀
Hi. I love Maison Margiela Replica line. I have six perfumes from the brand. This one sounds so good. I can’t wait to smell it. If you like vanillas, you would enjoy Vanilla Vibes from Juliette Has A Gun.
Starbucks has a Madeline trio in their little pre wrapped goods. Give them a try but don't do like I did I ate those before trying the pink drink for the first time and I swore up and down that drink tasted like ice cold pickle juice 😅 because I ate the sweet before the drink. The next month I tried that drink by itself and fell in love but the little Madeline cookies were really good.
I’ve had my nose on Tom Ford’s Vanilla Sx and this perfume. They’re different. Whereas the vanilla in Afternoon Delight leans on the sweet side, Vanilla Sx is more…adult? Like, the bitter almond nearly buries it - at least to my nose. Anyway, thanks for the review! I ordered mine as soon as Sephora had it available. The first spray from mine smelled strongly of imitation vanilla extract. I picked up a little bit of the lemony-ness of the madeleine. Not picking up the creaminess of the whipped cream yet. I’ll probably let it sit for a while until it develops. Maybe it’ll smell like it’s supposed to after some time.
I have this same scent and in my review I said it reminded me of the Ellis Brooklyn too which I didn’t like. I’m going to keep it and let it sit and hopefully it’s gets better cause so far I don’t love it.
I love this perfume, and I bought it the day it came it out. I find that it's very sweet, but I dont mind it. I love the vanilla and musc scent. I think this would be perfect for the cooler months.❤
I think it’s only going to get better and better. I don’t want to judge it completely since it’s still summer and that could be why so many people are getting spoiled milk from it but luckily I haven’t gotten that one bit. It keeps smelling better each time I try it 🙌🏼🥰
I purchased this and retuned. Unfortunately I got a sour milk smell on me, rather have dulce or Bianco latte. I probably didn’t give it a fair shot because only tried it twice. Madeleine cookies are sold at Starbucks and are delicious. Like always the makeup is 100! Love your video and reviews. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m seeing very mixed reviews with this one and I totally get it because I got sour milk from the Phlur caramel skin and I had to return it 🥲 im going to have to go to Starbucks soon to try one 😋 thank you so much ❤️🥰
I did kind of start out like vanilla milk for me also but just in the beginning. I hate the first spray vanilla milk. It makes me want to gag, but then after that, I love it so I have kept it. just received today so I’m going to give it the overnight test so far after the first spritz it seems very, very good
I’m glad u did a wear test before the review that way it’s more in depth of what the scent is like. ❤ Also which one would u prefer more Afternoon Delight or Dulce???
If I had to choose one I would go with Dulce but it’s because I’ve had mine sitting for two years and I am in love with the way it smells now but when I first got it, it wasn’t a love. I think afternoon delight will get better and better as it sits (hopefully 🤞🏼☺️)
Dulce was a like when I first got it and I remember it being better than vanilla milk but I still wasn’t 100% sure about it until I let it sit and the longer it sits the more I love it! I think the same will happen with afternoon delight 🤞🏼🥰
I'm glad you're enjoying Afternoon Delight. Unfortunately. I'm one of those people who was really disapointed. By the fireplace is sweeter and more gourmand vs Afternoon Delight IMO. There is this stink in the backgrpund that I get really bad in the opening that reminds me of a sharpie pen. It settles after the opening but i can definitely smell a stink still and its super disappointing. Marketing made me think this fragrance was going to be way more sweet than it is - to my nose anyway😊
It reminds me more of Lira then BL. Unfortunately this has zero performance for me ( which is weird because I normally don't have an issue with replica scents)
This was a let down for me.i didnt get the gourmand i was hoping for. Madeline who?madeline where?all i got was a powdery ,milky bomb with sandalwood.id say this is a woody fragrance.im going to let it sit and come back to it.😮
I am having a hard time with this fragrance! I am getting baby puke! Like when a baby is on formula and throws up. It stayed the whole way through. Definitely going to keep it and let it sit and see if that changes but so far not a fan.
😳😳😩 Omg I remember that smell so vividly with my girls but I took a sniff again yesterday and I’m not getting the spit up smell at all thank God 🙏🏼😆 but I totally understand because lactonic scents can get weird like that 😖

That sounds really good and it actually matches with what I smelled in the fragrance ☺️

Thank you 🥰❤️ I need to try one 😋

I prefer bianco latte
Congrats on your first MM pr, sweetheart!!😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 🥰❤️
I love that you shared what Replica said in their email. I feel the transparency and honesty clear as day! Thank you for that!!
Thank you love! ❤️🥰 I try my hardest to always be honest and transparent and I still had a comment in this video saying I only liked it because it was sent to me 🤦🏻♀️ you can never win with some people 😩🤷🏻♀️ How boring would creating videos be if I had to pretend I loved every single thing I tried? 😳😆

If you own a sweet pastry in Paris by Zara it’ll pair really well with this. I own both so it’s a hit.
I love madeleines, this smells like when you’re baking them and open the oven, that warm sweet whiff, so good! This is a sophisticated gourmand imo, cant wait to rock it in France in a couple of weeks
Congratulations 🎉 you def deserve it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Hi Amy, I'm so happy that those perfumes companys reached out for you! You deserve it ❤ 🤗 I'll love to see a GRWM with somme fall tonnes makeup soon 😁
Hi! Thank you so much! ❤️🥰 I have a couple grwm videos coming up soon ☺️ and I’ll for sure be doing fall looks as well, they are my favorite 🫶🏼

Hey Amy, your makeup looks fabulous
Hi! Thank you! 🥰❤️
Do you use video filters? Cuz if not we need a base tut. I haven't heard many good things about this fragrance but I'm here for a vanilla review
My camera softens the skin a bit on my sit down videos and the lighting as well but when I film my tutorials for my makeup you can see my skin texture on those. I struggle with hormonal acne once in a while and I do have scaring from high school ☺️
Yayyyyy!! I was just in Sephora on Sunday hoping to smell this one but my store didn’t have it displayed yet!! So excited to hear your thoughts on this one!! I don’t have Dulce yet so I can’t wait to try it!! 💞🩷💞 Thank you so much, queen!! 🥰🥰♥️🫶
I love this one too 🤎 and I totally thought the same about the colour of the juice.. I’m excited to see how it deepens because I’m sure it will!!

I was excited for this since we share such similar taste! ❤
Thanks! It’s definitely one you have to try out because it is getting super mixed reviews 😩🥹
If you own a sweet pastry in Paris from Zara, this will pair well with it. I own both and they smell really good together.
Thanks for this review! Everyone has such different noses 😆 because I smelled this and it made me sick.. I was so excited to try this and thought I would love it too 😭 Im coming to realize that I don’t like laconic scents 👀
Madeleine is a French tea cake. I guess you mentioned a cookie. I can’t wait to see what I think. Thank you Amy.
I wanna try this. I live in Florida so we don't get really cold weather so I would love a cozy gourmand that's not too heavy.❤
Was waiting for your review since we share the same taste in many other fragrances! Thank you 💞
❤️🥰🥰
Hi. I love Maison Margiela Replica line. I have six perfumes from the brand. This one sounds so good. I can’t wait to smell it. If you like vanillas, you would enjoy Vanilla Vibes from Juliette Has A Gun.
Thanks for the review and the comparison to Dulce. I think I will go for that since it is a clean fragrance.
🥰🥰❤️
Good morning Amy how are you happy Thursday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

I appreciate that quite a few fragrances are using Madeleine cookie note. I love those cookies and I’m biased because my name is Madeline 😊❤
I love that name! 🥰❤️

@@AmyGlam agreed.
I love this perfume! It will be great with By the Fireplace☺️
I try to never blind buy fragrances, but this one I couldn’t help it!

Hi Amy I love gourmand perfumes, so I will have to try it next time I'm at the shops. ❤
Hi! I hope you like it! 🤞🏼🥰❤️

Ugh I agree Vanilla milk was terrible 😢 Dulce is so much better! I love the chocolate note in it. I can’t wait to try the new replica ❤
Dulce was a like when I first got it and I remember it being better than vanilla milk but I still wasn’t 100% sure about it until I let it sit and the longer it sits the more I love it! I think the same will happen with afternoon delight 🤞🏼🥰
Sounds pretty yummy 🤗

Anytime love! 🥰❤️
It reminds me more of Lira then BL. Unfortunately this has zero performance for me ( which is weird because I normally don't have an issue with replica scents)
For those who don't know Dillard's carry Maison Margiela Republic as well. If have one close to you....
This was a let down for me.i didnt get the gourmand i was hoping for. Madeline who?madeline where?all i got was a powdery ,milky bomb with sandalwood.id say this is a woody fragrance.im going to let it sit and come back to it.😮
I love Dulce and generally like gourmands but I hated Afternoon Delight so much! Smells like sour milk to me. I returned the travel size I bought.
🥲🥲🥲 That’s what happened to me with the Phlur caramel skin 😩 I wanted to love it so bad but I got a sour spoiled note in it and I had to return it 😢
I’m eating madeleines as I’m watching this video. 😂😂 You can find them at the supermarket.
I’m definitely trying some soon! I’m so curious 😆🥰
I need to get my nose on it. Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
Thank you! You have a great week as well! 🥰❤️
I am having a hard time with this fragrance! I am getting baby puke! Like when a baby is on formula and throws up. It stayed the whole way through. Definitely going to keep it and let it sit and see if that changes but so far not a fan.
Oh no!
😳😳😩 Omg I remember that smell so vividly with my girls but I took a sniff again yesterday and I’m not getting the spit up smell at all thank God 🙏🏼😆 but I totally understand because lactonic scents can get weird like that 😖
I wonder how it would pair with coffee break… 🤔
I thought the same exact thing when I mentioned I loved coffee break too! 😆😂 I’m going to be trying that combo soon! 🫶🏼❤️
Madeleine is a cookie
I would say it’s a buttery cake actually😊
A madeleine is not a cookie it's a small sponge cake.
They look like a large shell like cookie.
I think we call them magdalenas en español
I’m so curious now, I wonder if I’ve had them before even as a kid 🤔 I’m going to have to try one now 😆
Sorry typo Replica
I heard another reviewer say it smelled like baby spit up, now that’s all I can smell 😢
😳🙈🙈 I hope I don’t smell that next time I wear it 😩🤣
You are the only person so far that's liking this scent. I feel like its because of PR. I'm shocked.
I don’t think you watched the video 🤦🏻♀️ but sure, if you feel that way 🤷🏻♀️
Actually another CZcamsr ksenja really likes it too and she bought hers .
I just watched The Perfume Guy's review. He gave a positive review.
This perfume is very polarizing. Love vs hate. I think it also depends very much on your body chemistry which comes out particularly with laconic fragrances unfortunately. It comes out amazingly on some peoples skin and others baby spit up, or too base note leaning like too sandalwoody etc. It has a lot to do with whether your skin is alkaline, acidic, or neutral and also scent association, preferences and scent memory. BUT definitely especially with laconic scents the chemistry of your skin. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Lol! 🧪🥮🌸
That was a commercial ❤lol❤
Never my intention, everyone should always try perfumes on their own since we all have different tastes. ☺️🥰
