Notes
Description
She fascinates, entertains, provokes. And no one is left indifferent. While the whispers gather in her wake, so does the sensual trail of an aphrodisiac perfume… A green chypre fragrance revolving around the metallic Rose Oxyde, the Blackcurrant bud Absolute, and the woody-modern Ambroxan.

Mad Madame description
If you are already a fan of Juliette’s anti-perfumes, such as their intimate new release, Anyway, or the sheer and transparent Not a Perfume, Mad Madame will take you on entirely different journey.
Mad Madame is a somber, heady and almost gothic evening perfume with an eclipsed moonlight profile. There are only three notes: a metallic rose, darkly ripe black currants, and a thin veneer of frosted ambroxan. The roses have a brandy-soaked heaviness, and the currants burst with sweet, sugary licorice-scented liqueur. It’s almost as if this scent should be poured from a cut crystal decanter rather than sprayed.
Mad Madame also has one of the slowest pulses in perfume; its slyly overindulgent layers of roses and currants bloom, wilt and burst in an endless, airless moment that doesn’t fade or alter for hours on the skin. This perfume wants to transfix and derail you. The intimacy it offers is mesmerizing and dream-like; an opium den’s thick, faded velvet curtain swinging wide to admit one more happy sleeper.
The reverie doesn’t end until deep into the drydown phase, when at last the ambroxan asserts itself. You finally awaken from the narcotic stupor and take your first deep breath. Yet that gorgeous, frozen moment of blooming and bursting stays addictively coiled in your consciousness even as this perfume fades out. The petals are forever unfurling and falling, the currant buds stretching and spilling their sweet liquid into your senses, until the outside world can pry you away with the tireless demands of gravity.

Not in love with this perfume. It doesn't smell bad, just not the best fragrance. Definitely reminds me of perfume a grandma would wear. My mother did like the perfume however, so maybe a scent for older ladys.

I really love this perfume! It was pretty strong when first sprayed on, but when I rubbed my wrists together and let it dry, the smelled calmed down. I can't think of a perfume that it is similar to enough to make a comparison. However, to me me it smells like cotton mixed with a woodsy smell.

This scent is interesting and different. I don't love it and I'm not sure that I hate it. I think it would set a specific mood and I would wear it with intention that I give to an outfit for a special occasion. It does smell like metallic rose. The scent is old, sensual, exotic and warm. Maybe it smells love me an old lady but a very beautiful old lady. One who has seen and done thinks you have only dreamed of.

Smells like a men's cologne, my boyfriend thought I had used his spray instead of mine that morning. I always get compliments on how amazing I smell, wearing this I just got asked to wear less. Very disapointed seeing as how some of the others from this brand are my ultimate favorites ever!

I wear this scent every single day and I get asked what I am wearing by everyone. Men stop me and ask me to write it down so they can buy it for their wives/g/f, women want the name too. I have never found a scent that is as unique and well loved as this one. I date a lot and every guy I meet comments on how incredible I smell. I cannot recommend this scent highly enough.

I have to say, i dont completely dislike this scent, but its more of a clean fresh out of a soapy shower scent.. I'm glad I added it to my queue.. this is why I like the subscription... you can try scents you wouldn't normally go for.. different scents for different occasions ri
ght!?.. I do think the amount you spend monthly is low, but still think a new case or even velvet bag of different color should come with each order monthly, not just first shipment..

They say it smells like metallic roses and I'd say that's accurate, but on me the "metallic" part of that especially becomes very strong and off-putting. I like it in the bottle, and I think on the right person this could be really elegant and chic but not on me. It does, however, last a very long time; if I don't shower at night, I can still smell it the next morning.

Only thing you will attract with this is peppy la,

This is one of the most intriguing perfumes I have smelled. When I first spritzed my wrist, it was a green, rosy jasmine. It was unusual and lovely. Then it slowly morphed into an overwhelming freesia, which I did not like. At the same time, when I would move my arm, I would catch the most beguiling scent. Sniffing my wrist, it was still freesia. Oddly, up close it was too much, but at a distance it was beautiful. This perfume grows on me the more I wear it. I will be buying a bottle when the sample runs out. It's an unusual perfume perfect for autumn.

I know even in the small bottle it will last a long time. With that being said, it may be considered a "more mature" scent, but as with everything, I think that depends on your body chemistry. I am in my 20's and I love how it smells on me. If you're looking for a long lasting, feminine scent, definitely check this one out!

A lovely stronger scent from JHAG. It strikes first with the floral fruity notes but as soon as it dries down on me it gets a very nice oud musk going on with a bit of the blackcurrant note left. From further away it keeps the floral notes. I'm not a huge fan of floral, but this is a complex floral that I enjoy without seeming too young or overly girly. It would be a great date night scent, I find it very enticing with a "dangerous" edge. Would not recommend this for younger women who don't enjoy strong scents, but it is by no means an "old lady" scent...it feels classic but edgy. I'd recommend this for gals 25+ unless you are very into this style of fragrance or really enjoy strong notes. After awhile on skin, it fades down to just the musky oud which I enjoy a lot.

This was not a winner for me. It was very soapy, and had a somewhat matronly smell to me. I like some soapy smells, but one just didn't appeal to me.

This is a very strong scent and smells a little cheap when you first spray it on. It does mellow out over time and smell a little less "drug store" but it does remain strong. I didn't love it like I hoped I would, but some other people liked it very much. I would describe the scent as "brassy". This

I'd been dying to try this niche brand but the full bottles are just too pricey for me to commit to without being able to try a scent for a few days. I find some juices change on me from day to day until it "settles" on me somewhat so I don't trust spritzes or strips. This fragrance has been a bit bipolar on me for a couple of days but let me say that Madame has me in her spell and I'm nuts for her! First, she hit me with roses- not bright, sunny ones but deep red/violet ones after a heavy rain. Then, she sneaks in a bit of an ambery-musky vibe with maybe some tuberose laying in wait. The dry down is both lovely and persistent and longevity is incredible. I could go on about Madame but I'll just say this is not a light, shy fragrance. I am obsessed!

So far I have not been impressed with 'Juliette has a Gun's' line of perfumes. At least Mad Madame is less offensive than Lady Vengeance. I was afraid of the castoreum would bring a profound fecal smell, it is under control and only adds a musky animalistic scent. The rose oxide is sparkling at first and slightly overwhelmed with alcohol burn but dies in the dry down. Finally this settles into a generic pleasantness that has a herbal muskiness like hay on a dewy morning tossed with decaying blooms of tuberose. The giant sillage in the beginning fades fast but the slightly below average sillage lasts forever.

Really intense, long-lasting scent. I felt it floating around me for hours. Once it dried down I got lots of dried rose petals and musk. Really unique scent. Not really my thing, but you can't deny it's good quality.

Dried down to a mellow floral scent with some woody, earthy elements. Did not have the longevity that some of the others in the Juliette Has a Gun line, but still made it through half a day. Easily something I could wear daily.

This perfume just doesn't work with my body chemistry, which is a shame. I shared it with a friend and on her it was amazing - complex, with strong dirty rose notes, a little green, a little spicy. On me all you get is rose and animalics. It turns cloying and nauseating. I'm envious of people who can wear this. I wish I was one of them.

I was anxious to try this as I LOVE Juliette Has a Gun's Lady Vengeance and have worn it for tears. Well, Mad Madame has the same beautiful rose base as Lady Vengeance, but where LV is a clean, smooth scent, Mad Madame is much more animalistic (due to the castoreum and musk, I'm sure.) I kind of feel like MM is the skanky sister of the pure innocent LV. I like MM well enough to wear it, but I don't think I would buy it. Instead I would spend the money to buy more LV.

TERRIBLE!!! Can I give no hearts?! Being the grandson of Nina Ricci I thought, yeah, give this line a try!! I chose the wrong one, because not only is it strong and NEVER dissipates, but it smells like swamp butt on my skin! Like some 250 lb old lady forgot to wipe her butt all the way and this was the result after mixing with her god awful perfume. YUCKY! Anyone got a fire hose to pressure wash this crap off????
Even tried layering with other perfumes. Generally, if I don't like it as is and layer Jessica Simpson Fancy Love over it, the nasty evens out to tolerable. Not so on this one. Blechsville

there's a lot going on here. it has a bit of an "everything but the kitchen sink" quality but it still works, curiously. kind of like a vanilla-y cherry brandy but also somehow sort of resin-y... really peerless. never smelled anything like it.
