What does Absolutely Madam smell like?

Mandarin orange and blackcurrant open on a bright, fruity note. In the heart, valerian, chamomile and jasmine add a soft floral layer; the base deepens the sweetness with vanilla, tonka bean, amber and musk, while patchouli and sandalwood give it a woody, spicy footing.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and most voters score both high, though the number of votes is small. Its sweet, warm build suits cooler weather best. It reads comfortably on both men and women. Hervé Léger Hervé Léger and Initio Blessed Baraka have a close profile.
