What does Madame M smell like?

Longevity and projection are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though winter has a fair share too. Night out and evening are the most common occasions, with leisure and daily wear close behind. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine, with a modern feel.

Pear, cardamom and bergamot give a fresh, lightly spiced opening. In the heart, jasmine, cocoa and cedar come forward. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli weigh most, and the scent turns sweeter and dries to a powdery warmth. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu and Guess Seductive (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
