What does Yours Madly / Madly smell like?

Saffron, patchouli and oud add a spicy, smoky, leathery depth. Cedar and nagarmotha carry the woody side, with vanilla for sweetness and orange and lavender for some brightness. Floral and resinous accords soften the mix.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Most pick fall, then winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, though it wears easily as a unisex scent. Perfumes with a close profile include QueenB Gray Oud and Laboratorio Olfattivo Amberbomb.
