Madison pour Homme

Notes

Top notes

• Aldehydes Sparkling, soapy, waxy fizz; like freshly ironed linen and champagne.
• Bay Leaf Herbal and slightly peppery with a fresh, green-camphor edge, like crushed laurel leaves.
• Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
• Grapefruit Juicy, bitter-sweet and slightly sulphurous, with a clean sparkle.
• Lime Green, tart and zingy, with a sharper bite than lemon.
• Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.

Heart notes

• Geranium Green, minty rose-leaf scent with a slightly metallic, lemony brightness.
• Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
• Orange Blossom Creamy, honeyed white flower with a green, citrusy lift.
• Cyclamen Light, watery, green-pink floral with a soft, airy freshness.

Base notes

• Cardamom Cool, aromatic and sweetly spicy, with a camphor and citrus lift.
• Elemi Lemony, peppery resin, fresh and slightly piney.
• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
• Carrot Seed Earthy, dry and woody-sweet with a rooty, slightly spicy dustiness.
• Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
• Cacao Dark, bittersweet and creamy cocoa.
• Fir Resin Cold, piney and resinous, like a walk through a conifer wood.
• Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
• Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
• Pink Pepper Bright, rosy and peppery, lighter and fruitier than black pepper.
• Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
• Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
• Guaiac Wood Smoky, sweet and tea-like wood with a gentle, leathery warmth.
• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
• Tonka Bean Warm, sweet, hay-like and almondy, with a vanilla-tobacco softness.
• Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
