Madagascar is a fragrance for those that prefer to take a walk on the weird side of vanilla. I can’t figure out if this has true elegant intent like the brand suggests but it’s definitely edgier than expected. This is a blend best suited for daytime spring weather when you’d prefer something a little more daring and enigmatic. Vanille de Madagascar takes the sugary edges of caramel and pairs it with wet grass juxtaposed with what appears to be soggy cedar. The mixture feels “alive” and weathered. This fragrance also contains a nominal amount of tea which adds to the herbal touch. The drydown smells sweet but the overall fragrance smells ruggedly outdoorsy. On initial application, all of the notes are vying for attention at once with the bergamot top note emerging to the forefront. The bergamot dissipates rather quickly as it makes way for the other elements with the focus on a generous spike of vanilla. The spices are harmonious and not dominant or overpowering. It takes some time on the skin before the woody note of vetiver to become noticeable nevertheless, it’s existence adds to the dominant woody accord. This is a fragrance I absolutely can not recommend because…it’s honestly weird! In my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice, “Get the Chopard!”………and see for yourself.
