What does Madeleine Impériale smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong; the votes are few, but both sit high. It has a dense, full character that doesn't lean towards either gender.

Blood orange gives a brief, bright opening, then saffron, patchouli and madeleine settle into the heart. In the base, sandalwood, oud and vanilla ground the sweetness in a woody, smoky footing, with leathery and animal touches in the background.
