makes me think of ladies in noir

2021/05/21

It makes me think of ladies in noir genre movies. in the opening notes there was something I didnt like, but now several hours later it is like youner and softer sister of sisleys eau du soir. Mad Madame is unquestionably a rose scent, but not for those weak at heart. there is a hint of leather.I can see the red color in part due to the punch of the top notes..I find it classy actually, and really fit for all women out therethis spells quality..and character..as for me, if I found a bottle at a good price, I might buy it..it is still pretty much a rose scent, not oldish, rather modern, with a twist of vintage somewhere though. Love it: Mad Madame is strong and complex rose scent with prominent leather note and animalic twist. Amazing scent.

Lutens' version is tarter, greener, a little more astringent, this is sweetened with amber and black currant and rounded out by leathery castoreum and warm tolu balsam. The elements are so nicely balanced and blended. Men would love sniffing this scent on a woman. gentlewoman juliette mad gentlewomen Such a great intriguing perfume, sexy, floral with a musk. It's a little different though, I get a little rusty metallic smell. With the castoreum note voted so highly on here and the tacky promo pictures with the furs, I was kind of afraid to try Mad Madame. I have to say I'm intrigued, amused and entertained by this one. I think I'm in LOVE! Aside from the cassis, I get rose and a dash of patchouli at the top with some supporting florals. But it opened nastily, smelling of pissy pants, and it gave me a headache. It smells to me very much of jasmine, but it is modulated in a very particular way. Couldnt put my finger on the "odd" scent I was getting till I read the review below that said reminded them of a hospital - BINGO that is exactly it - a crisp clean antiseptic soapy smell -not crisp/clean in a good way- in a institutional way. As a lover of rose, patchouli and animalic notes, MM is one of my very favourite fragrances. I do love roses and the color red, but I tend towards greens and soft florals. I clearly smell the castoreum more than anything else. Mad Madame is beguiling and intense without being too extreme and if you can handle her she's waiting to take you on a sensual adventure. Very rich. To me it is a jasmine bomb. It makes me feel desirable but also brings the question "Do I want someone smelling like this around me?" Didn't like it at first, almost gave it away but decided to give another try, I'm glad i did! The rose gives way to slight freesia and muskiness but is tempered by the softness of amber which keeps it from becoming too sharp and abrasive. I put this on and my husband happened to come home and actually said I smelled "amazing". Umema: The Perfume That'll Never Be Smelled, Carner Barcelona - the Summer Journey Collection, Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum, Amber and Ambergris are Two Different Notes, Rice Perfumes That Stand Out From the Crowd, Should You Smell Someone Before Talking to Them? But then I read some reviews, went back and decided to stick with it for longer. I tried a few JHAG fragrances today. Somewhere in a English country town where the most interesting news is the weather, perhaps a balsamic rose is risky. It needs the warmth of skin- but not ambient heat or mugginess- to bloom. I almost blind bought a bottle. In the times of sweet boring politness Mad Madame stands out as something rare and exceptional. It smells of roses and ambergris, more "vintage" then "old lady.". juliette parfumuotas vanduo moterims i definitely get the metallic thing others have mentioned as well. She is flawed and beautiful-- yes "thorny". The opening of this is actually very pretty, a mix of rose and what seems like a hint of green, but within 10 minutes this dries down and intensifies massively into the same rose and a very strong animalic note. Well officially the main ingredients are rose oxide, blackcurrant bud absolute, ambroxan, patchouli essence, hedione HC, tuberose absolute and white musk. Sillage is good and longevity great, I've not had a problem with JHAG when it comes to either. Then transitions to tuberose which is very suprising for a couple of seconds then the drydown of miss charming all the way. It's a bit thicker, denser, less fresh and quite a bit less pleasant to wear. Being very familiar with Ambroxan i can happily vouch for the heavy hand of it here, almost stiffling indeed, a stark contrast from the lovely and clean ambroxan dilution (aka Not a Perfume) This thick metallic amber note is animalic at the same time, and piled on with a fruity lychee-red rose (courtesy of the Rose Oxide , im pretty sure oxyde is a ingredient mispelling), again accentuated by Tuberose to bring out the lushness and overtly femininistic heaviness associated with perfumes of an older era. Overall, Im very impressed and consider MM to be an exemplary excursion into contemporary filth. Immediately the animalic note kicks in, which goes very well with the rose I gotta say. I love it in here! If you enjoy musk-based fragrances such as Narciso Rodriguez then you are quite likely to fall for this one, too. That is what this fragrance smells like: turpentine and synthetic roses. Last evening's cold temperature and moderate moisture proved the perfect testing ground for this tightly wound Patchouli Rose. Originally was surprised to find it nice and wearable despite the prominent beaver note; it wasn't as dirty as I expected. I just don't know if Miss Charming will stay on that list now that I've got someone more interesting. Gives me a migraine. I'm sitting here with Mad Madame on my wrist and a very confused expression on my face. I would call this daring, defenetely for those days when you need to feel or to be seen strong or need a boost. So I got hold of a sample hoping I'd love this fragrance. This is a heavy, velvety, deep red rose. I really like this perfume - it's sexy in the bold 80s style. I believe this fragrance would suits very well with a mature, mysterious and sexy woman in a cold winter night. I put this on an hour ago, and it seems like its already a skin scent. Hell. For musk lovers I'm sure it would be a beautiful scent, but that is really all I get from it. My first thought was "Did Miss Charming go nuts?" The rose comes through but it is a deep, rich rose. While I love the smell of fresh roses, I have not been able to find a rose perfume that I like (most seem to smell cloying, sickening, and way too sweet on me) until I sampled this one. She is a mad, sultry, vixen with depth and animalistic tendancies. After the initial burst of intense animalic notes, Mad Madame begins to unveil its softer, smoother side. I'm using this fragrance right now, for almost 2 years. Its definitely not me, and Im glad I didnt buy a big bottle. A complex but coherent scent. Smells too artificial and gives people headache. @Nefaria I bought this because of the notes and the reviews. Use with caution. Still one of the strongest perfumes Ive ever owned! I tried it on my brother first! Still opens smelling sharp, yes the animal thing comes right out at me and the traditional Juliette velvety rose is there but very heavily masked by civet. Cue the applause - this is not only *interesting*, but a perfect fit for my raging day! I found JHAG Calamity J so animalic and skanky that I threw away my sample instead of writing a review, a thing I dont usually do, so I thought Mad Madame would likely be too much for me, too. Nice , i can see people adoring it, just not a masterpiece. Obviously not for the faint-hearted. I absolutely love this scentI didn't expect to like it. I get the charming, berry sweet rose that personified Miss Charming. You get the faintest whiff of it at the deepest level. It smells dirty, sharp and pungent, and is quite difficult to wear. It's rather a scent for good girls. Mad Madame is a bad bitch and I love her. I do think it has a very interesting smell,but I don't think I actually like it. This is glamorous and very grown up. Best suited to those in their 20's-30's with fierce personalities. It reminds me of Bvlgari's Mon Jasmine Noir, but with rose instead of jasmine. I think this is stunning and sexy. How could I forget this one in my survey of daring perfumes! It gives the impression that a person who wears it truly knows what she or he (it could be easily worn by men too) wants and how to get it. In the vial Mad Madame smelled very sweet and litchi-like to me. You need to show your balls to sport this one. I do get the 'bite of the beaver' (castoreum)which I'm normally rather partial to, but I won't be scraping my coffers to buy Mad Madame while I've got back-up bottles of Platinum. A quality fragrance despite my not liking it. Blind bought despite warnings because I was attracted the the pretty red bottle and the other JHAG fragrances were a huge hit. It's too spicy and animalic for me, but I can see how many could enjoy it. It reminded me of the Middle East fragrance of rose and oud. it smells artificial but that is its beauty. I would never buy it because ot this silly add. I get exactly the same sour, slightly faecal note as in Dior Oud Ispahan. I hear Nina Simone singing "I Put A Spell On You" in the background! Certainly its animalic, the notes above are identifiable..rose, leather, tuberose with that musk & oakmoss base. Mad Madame is a wild ride from start to finish. This perfume has sweet undertones as it dries down, due to the white florals and the black currant, perhaps. Full bottle worthy. That castoreum (i.e animal gland) note in this is predominate and noticeable. As a kid, my dad had a little toy we called the "stinkyman," a hollow rubber figure that wafted a smell when you squeezed it; I'm pretty sure that it must've been castoreum inside there. Manure that had grown a single dirty and sad Charlie Brown-esque rose out of its petrified remains. His descriptives of my perfume and cologne choices rarely get more than an "it's ok" or "alright" response if any. MM is an eccentric chypre that opens with a blast of metallic rose, calming to a pleasant floral-animalic with a touch of fruit. I was gifted a JHAG discovery kit from a friend here on fragrantica! If there's a word to describe Mad Madame, it would be "feral", because from the start this controversial Juliette shows her animal side with no restrictions or shame (at least to my novice nose). Now im even prettier with my beautiful smile and my so, so sexy perfume ; ). Very powerfully flavored, distinctive and modern. Here are my findings: Not kidding, it has the dry down of old sun dried manure on my skin. I thought i didn't like casterom or civet, well i was wrong! A chypre floral, with a strong jasmine-rose opening, but it grows dynamically with intense aromas of woods and moss becoming more intense and modern.The presence of patchouli is also evident giving depth to the composition . MM opens with strong white florals, rose oxide, and leathery notes. Happy to be the first proper reviewer, Strange how notes can be reintepreted differently. Something greenish as well. I also smell the patchouli. The red bottle is perfect for it, for the impression I get is one of redness. I think I smell these three levels very sharply. When I smell this, I think of my mother's old coats and shawls that you'd put on a few days after she'd worn them and they smelled deeply of perfume mixed with the scent of wool and fiber. It is very soft and feminine. Whoever put that it smells similar to Paloma, I KNEW there was something familiar about it!! Sillage was modest but longevity quite good. I love wearing this for a night out of debauchery. The reviews didn't help: unwashed? But, I can say it is definately a very sexy, perfume. There is an animalic quality to Mad Madame, heady and ripe and indolic, which contrasts with a sharp aluminum odor.
