[Maison Margiela](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margielas-newest-fragrance) offered an immersive experience of its latest fragrance launch, [Afternoon Delight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairmont-hotel-riyadh), 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."
