Description
Eau de Madeleine by Au Pays de la Fleur d`Oranger 2015. The story of l’Eau de Madeleine: We are all in search of our roots. We all have memories of childhood. A “Madeleine” that is ours (An involuntary trigger to memories past). A search for meaning at a certain time of one’s life. L’Eau de Madeleine is a woman’s perfume for a free woman. Dedicated to Virginie’s grandmother. Woman of
post-war emancipation. This perfume survives her. L’Eau de Madeleine warms the heart. It is enveloping, reassuring. Everyone can recognize
themselves in Virginie’s journey. This fragrance is both melancholic and infinitely subtle. It also carries a strong message about women with powerful personalities. It is saturated with incense. This raw
material, widely used for religious ceremonies, is prized in perfumery. Its high concentration gives the fragrance a unique flavor. It is as sacred as the woman who wears it. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Claude Gigodot.

Incense, sandalwood, citrus, & leather that simple. Quite commercially simple, and reminds me allot of Lacost fragrance. Nothin special but to designers fragrances lovers, this will be something.

This is a pleasant rubbery-vanilla fragrance, if you know what a mean; it often happens to me to find that some fragrances with “leather” note show a rubbery side. Anyway, I find it pleasant, but I wish it would have been more daring: it’s well blended, but nothing remarkable to make me decide to buy it. Maybe, if you don’t have any similar in your collection, this could be a beautiful, warm and pleasant point where to start…
PS: to me, this really has nothing in common with Epic, where rose, spices and Agarwood play the main role.

I had such high hopes for this fragrance, and yet it smells, quite literally, like Aldi’s lemon and ginger tea. Identical!

Tart, sweet, spicy and smoky (frankincense is used with a liberal hand here), the featured notes are all present but instead of appearing in sequence according to the note pyramid, the scent showcases all its bold beauty right from the start. Both evocative as well as highly addictive. The drydown is a heartwarming affair between the woody, musky and incense notes with a bit of well-worn leather to round it off. Eau de Madeleine wears like a brighter and younger (as well as European) interpretation of the smouldering siren that is Amouage Epic Woman. Projection is very good and longevity equally so.
