Afternoon Delight

Wow, oh my god. I don’t usually repurchase perfumes because I get nauseous or bored of their scents after a while, so if I’m repurchasing something, it has to be GOOD. When I first smelt this at a department store, it smelt a bit medicinal. I wasn’t sure if that was just my nose or something, so I had my sister confirm that it indeed was. As I left, it sort of developed (?) into this really beautiful vanilla-y lactonic scent. It smells like a madeleine dipped in milk, and if you’ve ever had madeleines, you know that they aren’t that sweet (which is why I’m assuming they added the sandalwood note to create a photorealistic madeleine smell). I get that others may not like that added note as they want pure sweet vanilla, but to me, it just enhances the scent of the perfume by 1000%. To sum it up, this isn’t a very edible gourmand, (such as Escapade Gourmand, or Bianco Latte) this is more so a creamy airy light vanilla. It’s not heavy, or nauseating, so it’s great to wear to work or on a date night. Depending on your skin type, the projection and longevity may differ, but I just rebought another bottle yesterday, and holy, it was MACERATED. I’m talking dark purple. I sprayed it on last night at about 8:00 PM, and it’s currently 8:30 AM and I can still smell it on my hand. Favourite perfume I’ve smelt so far, and I’m a pit disappointed that it doesn’t get the hype it deserves.

oooOoooOooo i loovveee iiittttt!! my novice notes: vanilla extract (the expensive shit!), mildly milky, slightly salty/buttery, plastic babydoll head. the woods are there but they mean BASE when they say base notes, it makes this rounder but i wouldn't describe it as "woody." this is cozy comfy sweet toasty yummy. i don't really get any baked/pastry/wheaty/cookie notes but i can understand the concept of the marketing- it does evoke the feeling of standing around in the kitchen while someone mixes up some cookie dough. NOT chocolate chip. NOT madeleines. definitely sugar cookies. this is definitely a safe blind buy for all vanilla lovers and i think it will be a massive crowd pleaser. edit: holy smokes there are so many people saying this reminds them of vanilla milk by ellis brooklyn??? it doesn't smell like that to me AT ALL. vanilla milk was POWDERY and super lactonic. the literal only similarity is... vanilla. idk you guys are crazy lol edit2: wore it to work today and people keep walking by and saying "mmmm! it smells like vanilla over here!" or something to that degree. like 5 people in the last few hours lol. the sillage isn't very strong, but i work in a small office so it is lingering at my desk and general work area. i'm really happy with this one, folks! and that warm, buttery dry down? mmmmmmmmmmmm!!

I'm entirely addicted to her. She's a stunner. Absolutely exquisite high end fluffy airy vanilla, sugary and madeleine resemblant.She's sweet and airy. Makes me feel like a dainty fairy in a world of patisserie and femininity. There is nothing sour about this ethereal queen 👸 ✨️ I added her to my Vanilla Collection ( I'm a late bloomer to this fragrance i know ) and I can't stop wearing her daily. I have hundreds of more complicated and smokey vanillas, she's simple but that simplicity is masterfully done and so comfortable it's a little brain orgasm. She instantly makes me feel happy and lifted and in a cloud of white sparkles. So so delicious. If you want gourmand, sweet but elegant, look no further. Guess im lucky on my skin is delicious ambrosia and airiness. Signature worthy, perfect if you also want to layer her but I love her alone. Seductive. The kind of scent a man would go absolutely crazy over as it melts on you and becomes a subtle aura , I can immagine to get a whiff of this on wrists , behind neck, décolleté it's a "eye-rolling" moment .

I have this masterpiece as my signature scent for like 10 months now, and never got tired of it. At first this came across my nose as a gift in my order and it literally made me buy a 100ml bottle of this. Never smelled a tastier vanilla than this. This is so creamy and sweet, like a vanilla dough. The reason this is very appealing to me is that i sense some "play-doh-like" synthetic sweetness, which is very nostalgic to me. The whipped cream makes the scent itself smoother. When i was rocking this at summer, it had an awesome performance on my skin. I see it more on the men side, i mean it would smell very great on a woman too, but for me it's just more like manly.. If i would meet a person wearing it, the person would seem unique, playful, silly and full of youth and joy. That suits me, this scent was made for me. I would definitely appreciate an EDP of this, because i have to respray like three times a day when wearing this, since this is EDT. My most favorite scent ever, for now.. ;)

Afternoon Delight is in my top 3 (first is clean reserve skin, next is dedcool milk and 3rd is afternoon delight). However, it is my favorite winter/fall perfume. It is unlike anything else out there imo. It is creamy, smooth, and powdery. I don't see iris listed on the notes above, but iris/orris is my favorite note in perfumes because it adds that powdery lipstick doll head scent and I absolutely love that. It's cozy and light enough to wear it just to lounge around but also you can wear it on a night out and yet good enough to wear as your day to day but if your workplace has strict perfume scent rules, do not wear this at work. On my skin, it settles so smooth and I get so many compliments so im confused why a lot of people dont like this one. It's so good and definitely unique in my collection. An exact dupe would be sand and fog cream and sugar perfume oil so I wear them together and last until I bathe.
