Unpleasant scent

I don’t hate the scent. I don’t love it either. In an odd way, I think I may like it but not really. Right out of the bottle, it is way too strong but it dries down quickly and is much more tolerable but I am not sure it is something I would wear regularly. It definitely has a heavy note of rose and it has a very vintage vibe to it. I like heavier perfumes but I don’t think this works for me.

For me this is definitely a fall-early spring scent. It has a freshness to it but very heady complexity to it that will leave no one in doubt that you are wearing perfume. Could be a signature scent. I look forward to trying their other scents after this. Unique in a sea of not so unique.

One whiff made me think of a sexy date night night, but it's Saturday morning and I'm in my pajamas. Not an everyday fragrance. Very musky.

I really liked this perfume for the fact that it smelled exactly like what you would expect from a title "Juliette Has a Gun" with it's heavy floral scents and secondary scents that are somewhat metallic and remind you of gunpowder without smelling like a smoking gun. If you're into contemporary scents like this, it's a good one for you! However, if you're like me and you're more into classically girly scents picking a floral based perfume with more sweet undertones would be better suited to your tastes.

My favorite scent to date!

Long lasting. Sensual

This is my third JHAG fragrance and by far my favorite, although I love Lady Vengeance for different reasons. To me, Mad Madame comes closest to the promise of the brand's edgy marketing, but takes it up a notch for a more mature audience (note: I am not calling this 'stinky old lady grandma perfume,' I'm only saying it's more complex and sophisticated than some of the other offerings). Mad Madame has JHAG's signature rose, but it's coated with a blast of bright and mineral-y ambroxan that announces in no uncertain terms this is no sweet and gentle flower. The rose quickly opens to a rich, woody, slightly skanky Chypre with a hint of overripe fruit and indoles (jasmine?)—truly gorgeous. The animalic note isn't overdone, but there's a definite dirty side here. To me, this scent conjures up an exotic gypsy with masses of black hair, heavily kohled eyes, gauzy skirts, and rows of twinkling gold bracelets. Now I, personally, am nothing like that person in real life, but I absolutely love the way she smells and her sense of freedom and mystery. Some reviewers have mentioned this is a heavy fragrance, but I don't perceive it that way. It's a substantial scent, yes, but nothing about it is obnoxious or overbearing. And the musky, woody dry down has a tender side to it that's definitely worth the wait. While it's totally appropriate as a date-night scent, I would definitely wear this during the day in rotation with some of my other signature perfumes. I give it a 6.5/10 sillage, 8/10 longevity (this is no Montale rose, but it still has lasting power), and 9/10 "wow" factor.

Not typically a fan of rose perfumes, and I nearly scrubbed this one off my skin the first time worn. I'm glad I weathered its harsh opening, because one this one settles down... wow! Mad Madame is a lady that shows her true colors once you forgive her initial madness. A beautiful blend--sexy, classy, staying power, and a scent that draws compliments from men and women alike. Madame is unique, and has become my signature scent.

If you like Paloma Picasso, you'll love this. Rich and long-lasting. An intriguing scent that attracts intriguing people.

I love this scent. It's different from the others. It's my new favorite! It lasts all day! It's sensual, mysterious and spicy. I just love it!

I love this scent! It last all day. It has a spicy yet clean smell. I would definitely recommend trying!

This isn’t def a nose catcher. It’s subtle enough to be a daily wear and complicated enough to make it stand out

Great perfume

This perfume smells so good. It lasts all day. I get compliments and questions about it. I’ll definitely be buying after I finish it.

I think a little too sweet but it will turn heads.

The fragrance is too harsh on the rose notes.

This is a very lovely perfume but it's just not my personality. I see this as a date night super musky fragrance. It's more mature than I would prefer. maybe in a few decades this will be more my style but at the moment when I smell this I think 1920's speakeasy.

Smelled good but wasn’t to floral for me. It was a more mature smell.

Horrible

I love this perfume!!

I really

Next to "Not a perfume " this is my second favorite scent from this brand. Long lasting, elegant and flirty. Perfect for any occasion.

I personally like it better after the dry down on my skin not my clothing....

I love floral scents, and this one is perfect for winter. This might be my new winter signature scent!

This scent is flirty, youthful, and sassy.

This fragrance reminds me of my younger dating fragrances. I absolutely love itand will be purchasing more at a later time. Thank you so very much. I am so difficult to please on my fragrances

Grandma purfume, very strong.

Smells like an old lady

Musky

Wasn't impressed. too floral for me.

This would be a better fragrance for an older woman. Too strong on the incense.

Some are afraid of patchouli scents but it just makes this scent sexy. Long lasting and makes you feel good.

delicious light and long lasting

Mad Madame is mad indeed. It’s definitely feminine and floral, but there are unmistakable masculine notes that are equally tantalizing. As a woman, I love it. If it were on my man, I’d love it just the same-maybe more.

This kind of scent isn’t for everyone. It’s strong, romantic, and adventurous. It’s perfect!

Always loved this sent. Too expensive to buy. Sentbird makes it affordable.

Smells like rose liquor to me but my boyfriend says he loves it and that it smells like flowers. Hence I give it a 3 5 from him and 1 from me. It actually made my nose burn and gave me a headache.also made my eyes burn I do have bad allergies The rose smell was not a pleasant rose smell. Too caustic. But it is long lasting and very Unique. You would have to try it to see if you love or hate it. I’ll pair it with something sweeter to dilute it. It does make a statement

Very fun and different without being too much

I wore it as soon as I got it and got so many compliments

Sophisticated and sexy. Good scent for fall.

Way too old lady

I feel like this smells too much like bug spray. It is not a pretty scent at all. Very bitter and strong

It kind of had an old lady scent to it. it smells good from a mature point of view but i would probably never get it again. all of my friends hated it

Crisp, both masculine and floral, deeply sexy. Perfect fall and early winter scent!

I don’t hate this but I don’t love it because it seems like it should be worn by someone 50 or older. It’s strong and it seems to last. I’m really going to have to layer the scent to ever get use out of it. It’s a heavy floral scent.

Very impressed with how long this lasts! First off, this is a very mature scent. Musky rose and a light spice. It’s very warm and almost pungent. I absolutely love it because it reminds me of my grandmother and older aunt. It probably best suited for winter. Someone had mentioned it smelled like white diamonds. I’m not positive on that because I never had white diamonds. This will be something i wears occasionally or for holidays!

Wonderful, clean, fresh scent! Long lasting robust perfume. I am absolutely in love with this scent!

Love this perfume

Sounds like you either love this scent or hate it and I am happy to say I love it! I ordered it because the name intrigued me and I will definitely order a full bottle.

Loved it!!! Many compliments..

I’ll be honest, I picked it for the name. It’s was a bit to soft and florally for my taste. It didn’t smell bad but, just wasn’t for me. I gifted it.

It had me at the name. With something called "Mad Madame" and "Juliette Has A Gun," I was so ready for a scent that exuded badassery. This perfume, sadly, does not. If this perfume was personified, it would be a young woman as sweet as a lamb, a little shy with a cute giggle. So while this scent isn't a bad one, by any means, I wanted this scent to represent a woman who'd don herself head to toe in leather who'd kick a catcaller in his special parts. This ain't it.

My favorite one yet, everyone compliments me on it. Not over powering but you get hints of it during the day. I 😍.

I’m not a huge fan of floral but this scent is complex, with the floral notes mostly settling in the rose category. It’s a bit darker and spicier, which I like, and very unique. Love it, and will be ordering more!

Dont like the smell and when i opend it the top was off and it was leaking.i tryed to get ahold of sent bird to send back and get a different sent they wont answer me.?

Did not enjoy anything about this scent. Smells like something my grandma has had sitting in her closet for way too long.

This was my scent I chose for last month and I instantly regretted my decision!! YUCK!! It is so strong and it smells like an old lady at a funeral parlor. I would NEVER purchase this! I gave it to my mom with strict instructions to never wear it around me lol. She wasn't even sure that she liked it. It just was not for me!

Very mysterious and sexy. Amazing blend of floral, spicy, and earthy. Love this so much! It totally makes you feep like a sexy vixen!

I added this perfume because it said that it was floral and I thought the brand name was pretty cool sounding. This one really surprised me, it smells AMAZING! It doesn't smell like a typical floral but you definitely smell the flowers. I love it, it's my new fave.

Fragrance is such a classic scent. Very sexy

Lasted all day❤️

This scent makes me smell like a 85 year old women

I did not particularly care for this scent. It was very strong and reminded me of my grandmother. It had way too much of a spicy undertone.

I didn’t like this perfume, I could barely stand myself after I tried it on!

I really enjoyed this scent. It wasn’t bold and a little masculine but i really liked it.

Hated it, gave it away...

Too floral for me.
