What does Tendre Madeleine smell like?

It opens with bergamot, orange and almond; in the heart lavender, cinnamon and jasmine wrap them in a spicy, floral softness. Over time it turns sweeter with tonka bean and vanilla, settling into a warm, woody, powdery finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and leisure and evening wear lead. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine. Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial and Xerjoff Naxos have a close profile.
