What does Blue Madeleine smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, bergamot and cinnamon, then turns creamy and floral at the heart with milk, black tea and French Rosa centifolia. The base brings Peru balsam, sandalwood, cade juniper and praliné, so the sweetness rests on a smoky, woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear and can carry into the evening. It reads feminine to many, though it is unisex. Maison Tahité Café Gourmand and Initio Side Effect have a close profile.
