Au Pays de la Fleur d'Oranger Eau de Madeleine is a unisex scent that sets bright citrus against a resinous, smoky, leathery depth, and it leans towards fall and winter evenings.

What does Eau de Madeleine smell like?

It opens with citrus fruits, then moves into rose and frankincense at the heart. The base holds sandalwood, musk, leather and vanilla. The citrus and floral sides carry the fresh start, vanilla sweetens the whole, and the woody and spicy accords add a smoky depth.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out the leading occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads as truly unisex. Montale Oud Edition and Rituals Iconic Oud have a close profile.
