Graphite

Mad et Len

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Mad et Len Graphite is a unisex scent built on woods, graphite and chalk, starting fresh and green before settling into a smoky, woody character. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring; summer gets little support. It is named most for leisure and daytime, with evening and office wear also fitting. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as unisex. Woods, graphite and chalk give it a dry, mineral feel. The fresh, green side stays light, while spicy, resinous and earthy accords sit underneath. Smoke and leather stay in the background and firm up the woody body. Lvnea L'Étranger and Linari Fuoco Infernale have a close profile.

Humus

8.0

Mad et Len

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Mad et Len Humus is a green, earthy and woody unisex scent that smells of a forest floor, and it sits best in cooler weather and relaxed settings. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters read it more often as masculine, though a fair number call it feminine. The notes have no top, heart and base split; the scent runs as one piece. Oakmoss, soil and mushrooms give a damp woodland feel. Russian pine and vetiver carry the woody, resinous side, while violet root softens the edge slightly. Pineward Oxylus and Alkemia In a Northern Wood have a close profile.

Vetyver Bucolique

7.8

Mad et Len

Green · Sweet · Spicy

Mad et Len Vetyver Bucolique is a smoky, spicy unisex scent in which the green, earthy side of vetiver is softened by the sweet warmth of honey and tobacco. The notes are not split into top, heart and base; honey, tobacco and vetiver are present together from start to finish. Green, earthy vetiver carries the character, honey adds sweetness, and tobacco brings a smoky, leathery depth. Spicy and resinous touches keep the woody ground rich. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. The number of votes is small, so this reading is tentative. Fabrizio Tagliacarne Icio and Serge Lutens Sidi Bel-Abbès have a close profile.

Black Musk

7.5

Mad et Len

Floral · Sweet · Woody

Mad et Len Black Musk is a unisex scent that pairs musk and amber with the dry, woody tone of bark. The accords balance a floral, sweet side against woody, animal and earthy tones. The notes don't split into layers; the warmth of amber and the dryness of bark merge into the soft, skin-close character of musk. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though these ratings rest on few votes. It suits anyone, men or women, who likes a warm, dense scent. Those after a similar profile may also look at Khaltat Hob 1 and Al-Jazeera 555.

Paname / Septimus

8.1

Mad et Len

Fresh · Aquatic · Green

Mad et Len Paname / Septimus is a unisex fragrance that pairs a fresh, green character with a smoky, leathery shadow. The scent is built from suede, tobacco, grass and herbs. Grass and herbs give it a green, aquatic freshness, while suede and tobacco bring a smoky, earthy, leathery tone that runs through the whole composition. Spicy, woody and resinous accents keep that contrast in the background rather than smoothing it away. It lasts well and projects at a moderate level, so it is noticed up close without filling a room. It suits men and women alike. Rook Perfumes Suede and Agatho Fauno have a close profile.

Red Square

8.0

Mad et Len

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Mad et Len Red Square is a unisex scent built on a sweet, spicy base, with woody, resinous and smoky tones running through it. It opens with padouk wood, which sets a woody tone from the start. At the heart, Omani red frankincense brings out the resinous, smoky side, while the sweet and spicy accords gather around it. Musk in the base softens the whole and adds a powdery warmth. The character is dense, dry and serious, not one for those who prefer light or fresh fragrances. Its profile is close to Aedes de Venustas Musc Encensé and Serge Lutens L'orpheline.
