From the sample box: “…Madeline Impériale reimagines the iconic pastry as a symphony of exquisite elegance. A radiant burst of blood orange ignites the senses, giving way to a decadent madeline accord. Infused with golden saffron and enriched by velvety patchouli, as it deepens, a sensual trail of oud, vanilla, and sandalwood unfolds…bold, enveloping, and irresistibly addictive.”
Nah. I didn’t get any orange at all, it kind of just threw wet leather up my nose and the saffron/oud, which I usually love, struggled for attention underneath. Either my skin HATED this fragrance, or JHAG has a solid miss here. Very sad. The sillage is strong, and it wears solidly, so if this scent agrees with you, you’ve got one that sticks around.
