What does Mad Love smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it suits leisure and daytime wear best. It most often reads as feminine and modern.

The top opens juicy and bright with pink grapefruit, Mara des Bois strawberry and apple sorbet. Peony, bleeding-heart flower and jasmine give the heart a floral softness. Sandalwood, coconut palmwood and musk settle into a creamy, warm base.
