Inspiration: Maison Margiela - Afternoon Delight
Couldn't load pickup availability
Sensual Vanilla by Atralia takes Afternoon Delight by Maison Margiela as its inspiration; by contrast, expands the idea far beyond a simple vanilla dessert. Almond, praline and coconut make the opening nuttier; by contrast, myrrh, ylang ylang and heliotrope add powder and floral depth. Sensual Vanilla takes Afternoon Delight into denser territory, adding nuts, coconut, myrrh and powdery florals around the vanilla.
Top: almond, praline, coconut, ginger
Middle: vanilla flower, heliotrope, myrrh, ylang ylang
Base: tonka bean, vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood
Almond, praline and coconut arrive creamy and nutty with ginger keeping the sweetness from feeling completely soft. Vanilla flower, heliotrope, myrrh and ylang ylang powder the middle before tonka, benzoin and sandalwood leave a warm resinous finish.
Sensual Vanilla begins with a moderate 2-4 foot nutty sweetness for the first two hours before gradually becoming a softer vanilla bubble. Expect around 7-9 hours, with benzoin, tonka and sandalwood remaining after the almond and coconut settle.
Fall, winter and cool spring weather suit Sensual Vanilla, particularly afternoons and evenings when its nutty sweetness can unfold slowly. Quiet dates, coffee shops, holiday events, dinners and relaxed nights in fit the mood; almond, vanilla and woods keep the fragrance comfortably unisex.
