Madeline

Beautiful,warm,creamy sexy scent. Heavenly Christmas fragrance. Warm milk and bourbon with a touch of cinnamon and clove. Reminds me of Christmas morning as a child. One of my all time favorites.

This is late Fall/early winter in a bottle. A gorgeous, uncomplicated blend of clove, vanilla and warm milk. It is super comforting and snuggly. I got it during my first New England Fall; so, even when I wear it at other times of the year, it always reminds me of the chill in the golden air, and the snap of crunching leaves underfoot. Might be a bit too foody and pumpkin spicy for some - I've had people tell me I smell like a candle when wearing it, but if you like those holiday scents, then it's a really good one.

Not sure it's a fragrance I'd want to wear all the time, but it's a pleasant novelty. Very spicy (and the spice lasts quite a long time... I had cuddled my child while wearing it one night, and could still smell the spice in his hair the next morning). It is excellent for sweet, spicy notes. Tt does also remind me a bit of holiday scented candles.

Smells like a glass of milk warmed on the stove with cloves, cinnamon and star anise, almost chai-like. Very pleasant fall and winter scent. I thought I would hate the milk but it becomes less lactonic in the dry down, and it becomes a bit woody and more dry. It’s not really a boozy scent, despite the notes, it’s just a touch. Very nice.

Madeline was hugely ahead of its time. It would suit 2026 perfume trends down to the ground with its milky lactonic notes. To my nose it's a creamy chai tea. There is a lot of sweet vanilla grounded milk along with cardamom and clove notes and possibly some Dianthus/carnation poking through which may be the clove. I've had my perfume oil since 2007 and it doesn't appear to have changed much apart from the spices are smoother and less aggressive. I don't get any brandy from this and it smells nothing like TF Tobacco Vanille!

I'm on the fence with this one. It really does smell exactly like pumpkin pie spice, which I like in general. Maybe early spring isn't the best time to test this.
