Mad Madame by Juliette has a Gun for women

This is one of those perfumes that provokes a visceral reaction. There is a jagged note here somewhere that strikes the olfactory senses in a not entirely pleasant way -- I'm not sure if I like it or hate it. I initally was going to rate this lower, but I've decided to go with 4 stars for being different; it stands out from the pack.

What I wish Agent Provocateur had smelled like! This is a very sexy rose: deep, musky, animalic. I clearly smell the castoreum more than anything else. When I smell this, I think of my mother's old coats and shawls that you'd put on a few days after she'd worn them and they smelled deeply of perfume mixed with the scent of wool and fiber. This perfume has sweet undertones as it dries down, due to the white florals and the black currant, perhaps. It's interesting as the top is very heavy, and the undertones are more light-hearted and fresh. I really like this perfume - it's sexy in the bold 80s style. Even one spray lasts and projects well - be careful not to overdo this one!
