People expected this to be like every other gourmand scent they're used to. This is exactly what I would expect a MAISON MARGIELA REPLICA gourmand scent to smell like. They are not loud overly projecting fragrances. The longer it was on my skin, the better it smelled. It's not for everyone but it's definitely for me. I dont consider myself a gourmand girly but i truly enjoy this. It's an intimate scent to me, not strong to my nose!
Literally got this one in the mail directly after watching this! So in love initially. To me it’s giving blonde Oreos, whipped cream, angel food cake, and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. OBSESSED.
I went straight over to Maison Margiela to get the Parfum notes for this new Afternoon Delight In the top note: Bitter Almond essence, Angelica roots essence Mid: Madeleine Accord, Carrot heart, And Absolu Ambrette . Base notes: Heart of New Caledonia Sandalwood and infusion of premium Madagascar Vanilla pod . I should add, that my full bottle arrived today and I enjoyed it ! While I was outside, the heat out there over my skin made the beautiful vanilla pod scent stand out more ,it truly reminds me that of an actual vanilla pod essence and I’m familiar with vanilla pod , very nice balance here.
I got mine yesterday and I LOVE it!!! I saw another review where they picked up a sunscreen note and a 'weird' almond note???!!! The reviewer didn't like it at all and gave it a 3 out of ten! I couldn't have disagreed more with that review and 100% agree with you on this one! If I could disagree with anything you thought about this one is I don't find it SO sweet that I would feel the need to be mindful of it's strength or how much I spray( I know ur mom was a big influence in your thoughts on that). This one was a huge blind buy success for me!
Have you thought about doing a video on “mom rates my perfumes” , like you did with hubby? Get her opinions on some of your fav freshies that she isn’t familiar with? You talk about her often & since she isn’t a gourmand lover would love to hear her thoughts on some scents ! Love the channel!
I never clicked a video so fast!!! This is the video I've been waiting for 😭🙏🏽 thank you so much; might edit after I've watched the whole thing. I wanted to love the Elise Brooklyn "Vanilla milk" but it smells like straight up like milk vomit/spit up or spoiled milk. I like commodity milk and B&BW Milk too. B&BW Bonfire bash and vanilla romance both smell like commodity milk. Anymore milky fragrance suggestions are welcome!! I'd love another video dedicated to milky/lactonic perfume and sprays ON A BUDGET 😂🥺🙏🏽🎀
I also hated vanilla milk from Elis Brooklyn for the exact same reason as you, milky scents can be hit or miss but this one is just so perfect in my opinion, nothing about it smells off to me🙏🙌🏻
@@ksenja6023 that's awesome! Milk seems to be so hard to capture without smelling gross. I had a baby a few years ago, I'm good on the smell of milk spit up 🤢
This sounds lovely! I love all kinds of perfumes. As far as sweet/gourmand, I personally don't mind smelling "exactly like food" (in fact, I love that!) and I also like balanced versions too. The way you're describing this is somewhat similar to how you described boardwalk delight in terms of airy and balanced 🙂
I got this yesterday. And I hate it. I’m so disappointed! I love gourmands. This is more woody. And I don’t get a Madelaine note at all. I was hoping for a lactonic, fluffy vanilla cookie. But it’s more of a masculine, woody fragrance
Dying dying dyingggg. I want this fragrance soooooo much. I'm ok with blindbuying the travel size but that has not been available 😢yet!!!! If I buy larger I have promised myself this year that large price tags have to wait for a sale or know for sure I LOVE it. I reallllllly appreciate your feedback that this is not a blind buy safe as I am SUPER picky and overhyped perfumes have been a 👎. A travel price tag I can live with but not full bottle. I was worried it might lean woody or spicy which I have more then enough of. Thank u for your review 💓
Definitely going to get a travel size once it comes out. I don't really blind buy full perfumes anymore so I have to wait, but I'm excited for all gourmand scents to come out this fall!
Hey, Ksenja, honey! I'm so glad u got the new Replica and that ur enjoying it. My daughter's favorite cookies are Madeleines and we can't wait to smell it! I saw the comment where someone compared it to Kayali's YUM, where the actual scent differs from the description, and I had to tell u what my husband said. Back when YUM was first released, I was so excited because I LOVE pistachio, and was talking about it nonstop. So, he bought me a travel size and u can guess what came next.😂 I went from hyping it up nonstop to whining about it nonstop. I was so unhappy that I felt I could smell no pistachio at all. I felt like I had been punked!😅 Now, my husband said he thinks I had PTSD from it cuz I wouldn't stop talking about how sad I was. He was being silly of course, but that experience does make me more leary of blind buying. FYI: I'm so glad I kept my little bottle of YUM because once I actually started enjoying it for what it was, and not what I expected it to be, it's a favorite now. It reminds me of staying with my aunt in the summer time. She's a professional baker, and her house always smells fresh and clean, with just a tiny bit of sweet in the air. 🌼🍪 Love, Courtney
I really thought I would love this one and bought the big bottle. Unfortunately it wasn’t for me, the vanilla was very milky, gave me that spoiled milk smell. I was very disappointed.
Sadly in South Korea it’s not available yet… I have heard we have to wait until December… I do love gourmand scent but I can’t wear in a hot weather… only when it’s cool from October to April… I love by the fire place which has also vanilla, the first time I smelled it in a replica shop I cried the moment I tried it…
Hey love, your videos are great, you talked about a similar perfume to Valentino Donna born in Roma in one of your previous videos and you said your going to share it in an upcoming haul but I can’t seem to find it, please make the video!💕🩷🤗
I think Jazz Club is amazing just haven’t gotten around to actually buying it since I feel like I have a good amount of that scent profile in my collection currently but maybe a future buy🤔
Your videos are addictive, Id love to have a job like this. I have already purchased a few perfumes you recommend.😊❤I love creamy vanilla, latte and cookie scents.I recently blind ordered 'Pink Sugar Creamy Sunset' but it smells nothing like whip cream.🥧🧁🍪
Thank you! I’m a gourmand lover and this sounds great, but I’m worried about longevity. I’ll have to do a wear test before purchasing😊 I love their Matcha Meditation, but I can only smell it for like 5 minutes😢
I got mine yesterday and am returning it today idk where they get this smells gourmand cause it doesn’t in anyway…it’s a really strong powdery scent my 9 year old said I smelled like a grandma :( so disappointing
I almost laughed out loud when you said your mom almost threw up, I’m like her!! 😂 I HATE sickly sweet and overly realistic bakery type scents.. in candles, in perfume, in pretty much every form that isn’t that actual baked good itself. I love the replica line (especially by the fireplace!) but this one def isn’t for me!
Crazy how different we all react to fragrance. This smells fresh (like baby wipes) and simultaneously smells like spoiled milk to me. This one was a let down for me.
It’s a very specific scent so I think it would be best to smell a tester before buying if you are not a full on gourmand lover. I think if you love fluffly, whipped cream, ultra lactonic, cookie type scents then I don’t see how you would’nt love because it is exactly that, at least in my opinion😊🍪🥛
I got a powdery bomb with milk.which reminded me of a baby who spits up milk.is a no for me.i love gourmands but they mislead us on this one.cookie who? cookie where?also got the sandalwood alot.😮imho
Love Your Video Cute thumbnail tho Drop Dead Pretty You Are Makeup Always Look Good Nice Ass Cheeks Bones Enjoy your night as well Happy Amazing Weekend Ahead Stay Bless N Be safe Always
I get no cookies, no whipped cream, no lemon, so vanilla. It smells like croissants, evaporated milk (NOT sweetened condensed milk) and a chemically smell like Sharpie markers. I can see wearing this with other sweet perfumes like Heavy Cream by Phlur or Vanilla 28.
I love gourmands and Replica. But this seems a bit of a cash grab, which…fair for a for profit company. 😂 But this doesn’t seem like their other experience based fragrances. It just seems like a straight gourmand for the sake of being gourmand.
I don’t understand. You call yourself a gourmand lover but then admit you don’t like perfumes that smell like realistic food…? The sandalwood is the most prominent note in my opinion making this NOT a gourmand. People interpret smells differently but I think the marketing was very misleading on this one.
She can be a gourmand lover without having a scent be sickly sweet. It can be off putting to smell like a candle. I like sweet or gourmand scents but done well and niche taste. Sometimes designer scents can come off juvenile.
Oud Ambrosie by Lancome is a gourmand fragrance. A very prominent honey note balanced with oud. It does not smell like realistic food. I think the definition of a gourmand fragrance is what has u confused. Look it up. Hope this helps...
I love gourmands and bought this when it came out at sephora. Hard no. It's a musky woody condensed milk, similar to Milk by Commodity. Not yummy smelling at all.
Please review Love Notes by Ariana Grande 💕 She's doing this fun thing where she is releasing 4 fragrances - an exclusive perfume for multiple places around the world: North America, UK, Europe, and Australia. It's supposed to be like a 'love letter' to her fans around the world. It would be great if you could review the one that you can locally get your hands on! Love your channel 💗
I just received this today and I love it. I was a little scared, because the first spray i smelled a rubbery smell that reminded me of caramel skin by phlur but that went away in the dry down. I wonder if my bottle was just a little bit warm from shipping. I’m going to be wearing this all fall and winter.❤🍪🍦🧁❤️🔥

I’m not usually a gourmand lover, but this still sounds lovely. I tend to love fluffy airy vanillas and musk too, especially during the colder months.

I just purchased “coffee break” and I’m in LOVE lol now I gotta try this one out, I love gourmand scents!!!
I have the "Coffee Break", unfortunately it is migraine inducing for me but I bought it despite knowing that so... 😂

I got mine yesterday and have been loving it! It smells soo good! Great review! ❤
I loved it. I cannot wait until the weather is cooler to see how it is. I get warm fresh baked vanilla cookies when I smell it.
Mine will be at my doorstep tomorrow. I’m SO excited.

Got mine today and I love it!! The dry down is the best
TFS, can’t wait to try it lol that new girl scene gets me every time 😂😂
This fragrance is delicious, it’s a love for me! 🤎
I find it gets sweeter through the wear! Mostly linear though yes. Glad you love it girlie, I knew I would too!

I was so curious about this one, thanks for the review.
I did not particularly enjoy it. The smell of spilled milk on me was unpleasant. However, I am glad that you are enjoying it.
lol I can’t unsmell this now when I spray it
Same!
that’s all I could smell
Definitely going to get a travel size once it comes out. I don't really blind buy full perfumes anymore so I have to wait, but I'm excited for all gourmand scents to come out this fall!
I just got Coffee Break today ❤
I just got that one and I am in love!! Now I have to try this one 😂
I got mine today but I haven’t unboxed or opened it yet. I only got the 1 ounce but I’m so excited
Update: I don’t like it, it’s going back

I enjoy Jazz Club
Jazz club is SO GOOD!
I think Jazz Club is amazing just haven’t gotten around to actually buying it since I feel like I have a good amount of that scent profile in my collection currently but maybe a future buy🤔
Can’t wait to purchase and thanks 😀👍
Gave me cookie got you cookie MADE ME CACKLE

How does it compare to Phlur vanilla skin edp?
this sounds like it was made for me. 🥰🥰🥰
Hello gorgeous ❤ happy blessed Thursday!
Thank you, you as well❤️
Hey Gorgeous, this one sounds like a purchase for me!❤❤❤
Omg I want it so bad!! I am going to save up to get it!
Tfs! Enjoyed! I need to try that Cantu lotion!
I love it!!!
I’m not a huge fan of the line as a whole because I can’t get them to last on me, but the scents themselves are so good. Coffee break is my favorite
I got mine yesterday and am returning it today idk where they get this smells gourmand cause it doesn’t in anyway…it’s a really strong powdery scent my 9 year old said I smelled like a grandma :( so disappointing
I got straight up bitter almonds for this one 😢
Have you tried their Into the garden? I don’t know if it’s a limited release, but sounds unique !! Let us know!! Thx ❤
In the UK here and can't buy it yet 😢 sounds great ❤
I never really tried replica, I'll will give this a sniff if I get a chance to go to sephora.
Got mine today and I'm so disappointed. On me the sandalwood is strong and smells masculine. Wish I could smell the gourmand notes.
You Should Try Guess Iconic

Crazy how different we all react to fragrance. This smells fresh (like baby wipes) and simultaneously smells like spoiled milk to me. This one was a let down for me.
Thank you for the video, i got mine today, i liked, any idea for layering?
They didn't have it at my Sephora :(
I don’t think it’s out in stores yet only online
If I have Phlur Heavy Cream on the way do I need the Replica Afternoon Delight?
I just got both and they smell nothing alike so you could probably keep both. However, Afternoon Delight is not a safe blind buy for gourmand lovers
Heyyy beautiful 😍
Does it smell like every other cookie perfume??
Can you please review the new Brown girl Jane carousel plsss ❤
Hey can you try qaed al fursan unlimited (the white bottle) from lattafa 💟
Great video! Really random but you sound a lot like Kathleenlights. Don’t know what it is, but you do! ❤️🥰
All the negative reviews are making me nervous tbh caz I blind bought a travel size!
It’s a very specific scent so I think it would be best to smell a tester before buying if you are not a full on gourmand lover. I think if you love fluffly, whipped cream, ultra lactonic, cookie type scents then I don’t see how you would’nt love because it is exactly that, at least in my opinion😊🍪🥛
I have no clue if my nose is just broken but when I smell it on me I smell tease cocoa soiree🤣 I still like it tho
I guess I’m in the minority but I absolutely hated this. It smells like sugary sour milk to me!
I got a powdery bomb with milk.which reminded me of a baby who spits up milk.is a no for me.i love gourmands but they mislead us on this one.cookie who? cookie where?also got the sandalwood alot.😮imho
Replica is just a higher priced "body mist"...nope.
Personally all the ones I’ve tried have been super strong, and pretty original so I would disagree but I know the price is crazy🫠
@@ksenja6023 I'm going to try a 10ml & see if it "stays" for me...love your excitement...it's contagious! ❤😄

Gourmand fragrances can just have gourmand notes. They don't have to straight up smell like a bakery. Angel is considered a Gourmand.
Being a sweet perfume lover doesn't mean you'll like every sweet perfume.
