Today I am wearing Eau de Madeleine by Au Pays de la Fleur
d’Oranger.
It is initially a tad disconcerting since the perfume
becomes a milky juice when the spray hits the skin. But a slight dab and it disappears leaving
behind a fabulous trail of leathery floral cream.
I instantly like this one.
It’s like bumping into an old friend whom you haven’t seen for ages and
instantly finding yourself happy, laughing and hugging.
It pretty much goes straight in at middle to base notes with
the opening offering me rose with a slightly spicy edge. The perfume unravels itself to reveal creamy
sandalwood with subtle vanilla undertones and a wonderful leathery element
bathing my skin in something truly delicious.
If you’re unsure of full-on leather perfumes this may be a
good one to try. It isn’t wicked like
Serge Noire, Roja Dove’s Scandal or Jovoy’s Les Liturgies des Heures, since the
vanilla and sandalwood tame it to soft suede shoe/handbag/belt tones rather
than kinky boots/whips.
It’s good though, I hope it has staying power to match the
creamy, smoky calmness it exudes.
