Maison Margiela's Pop-Up Cafe Served an Afternoon Delight Latte
Laura McQuarrie — October 22, 2024 — Fashion
Maison Margiela offered an immersive experience of its latest fragrance launch, Afternoon Delight, by taking over a Toronto cafe for a few days in the fall. From October 18th to 20th, people in the city flocked to Stackt, North America's largest shipping container market, to visit Milky's Cloud Room and sip a bespoke latte and sample the fragrance that inspired it.
With sweet, powdery and vanilla notes and a musky, lactonic base, Afternoon Delight is a rich and creamy unisex perfume created to capture a sense of joy and indulgence, and convey the experience of eating a warm vanilla madeleine in a 90s Parisian café.
At the limited-time cafe pop-up in Toronto, visitors were treated to the decadent Afternoon Delight latte, made with "vanilla, salted caramel, espresso and secrets."
