When perfumer Romano Ricci set out to create an elegant ode to the classic rose, his noble intentions were foiled by a lab technician who accidently added too much cetalox, a synthetic substitute for grey amber, to the mix. The serendipitous mistake turned out for the best, since it resulted in Mad Madame, a bewitching blend of sophisticated notes and modern musky scents.
This is the only perfume that I have ever worn, that received a complement every single time I wore it. Seriously. Every time. There is something mysterious about the scent, it smells both unlike something you have smelt before AND familiar at the same time. Can be worn anytime for any reason. Not sweet and yet not earthy. Just all around pleasant scent.
5When I was in NYC I went to the shop in SoHo and this was one of the samples I selected in my BYOB. I am obsessed. This smells so different from anything I have ever worn before. I use my sample sparingly because I never want to run out. The scent instantly takes me back to NYC with every spritz. I will for sure be purchasing the full size when I run out.
5I got the sample of Mad Madame and I absolutely fell in love. It had a very interesting mix of rose and spice. I have never, ever liked a floral fragrance before! I was surprised by my addiction to this perfume. Not only that, I would put it on before my 11 hour shift at work, come home and I'd still smell the perfume. Would highly recommend.
