Madison

In search of discovering elegant and wonderful cheap perfumes, I fell upon this one in an online perfume store that retail perfumes at a cheap price. What caught my eye was the bottle so it's a blind buy. And wow, what a beautiful bottle. I know it's face diamonds, and fake gold and a fake pearl but who cares! The design of this bottle is absolutely beautiful! Even my husband is delighted with this one. Now, first of I would like to say that I am a huge fan of TF Tuscan leather. I share it with my husband and wear it whenever I see fit. Ladies and gentlemen, if you think Tuscan Leather is not feminine enough for women to wear, let me present you Madison. It starts sweet and fruity, a mix of raspberry and something citrusy and then changed to something leathery and floral. And it goes back and forth. Sometimes the fruity mixes in with the leathery and gosh...this is wonderful! What a complex scent it is to me, changing every hour and getting more musky and leathery throughout time. Towards the end, the scene becomes mysterious as if there was something else to discover. I can't stop smelling it and I won't stop using it. A pleasant surprise and a definitive must! Moderate sillage but long-lasting!

Wow so glad I got another bottle as this appears to be discontinued. This is a lovely little number. Very sexy and I smell the wonderful leather in this. Truly a gorgeous smell probably one of my favorite perfumes in my collection. At first I thought it was a fader, one of those fragrances that just does not last. However that is not the case. The cooler the weather the longer this beauty smells. It remains the same once applied to the skin which is fine by me.. it's absolutely stunning. This is a day, evening, all season fragrance. I am not quite sure what to compare it to. It's not groundbreaking or incredibly unique - however it's nice enough that I probably would buy the large bottle. I hope this helps others looking into this fragrance. As the day wore on I continued to get lovely whiffs of this fragrance on my neck. It. I really am truly in love with this and if you have a large bottle your wanting to part with in a swap please message me. :)

I got a BIG bottle of this extrawonderful perfume! I bought this perfume blindly based upon your nice comments. - And, it is great! It smells like a walk in the park - in all thinkable ways - this is too good to be true!! Yes, there is the raspberries, and than the leather comes, it smells as the softest leather you ever could imagine, I had a white leatherjacket when I was Young, in the -80ths, With big shoulder-powers on, I felt like a million, thoug I hate to think of the day I decided to give it away, of course I nevener should have given it away, I regret it so very much.... but, now I have Madison, the puffing-spraying-thing on the other side is useless, I lost about 5ml of it, the thing went in the bin, now I'm looking for an old-fashion dispenser to put it in. And, I think everybody could wear this true beauty, in every occation, I giv it a solid 12/10

I recently received a small bottle of this fragrance in a swap, and I love it! Madison opens with a bright burst of raspberry - the actual fruit, not raspberry candy, so the scent is not overpoweringly sweet. The raspberry hangs on for longer than many opening notes, and the mandarin and peony are subtle, but help balance it. My favorite part is the dry down - I get lots of leather blended well with a smooth vanilla. This stage of the scent reminds me a lot of my beloved Fan di Fendi Extreme - it's a really gorgeous leather. A few hours later, I am still getting pleasant whiffs of the leather, vanilla, and a hint of patch on my skin. Fruit and leather are not an easy combo to pull off, but Madison does it well. This is a very affordable scent that should get more attention than it does - it's a hidden gem!

Madison is such a lovely perfume! I love it. It's pretty and feminine, elegant and alluring. Very lovely flowers, citrus, delicious raspberry, and leather, with lovely earthy patchouli and sweet vanilla and musk. It's just gorgeous. My husband really loves it too. It's a very romantic perfume, and makes me feel gorgeous. I get lots of compliments too. And it lasts a long time, I get beautiful wafts of it all day, and I love wearing it to bed too, it's so fresh and soothing, calming. Puts me in a happy, peaceful frame of mind. I am completely rapt in it! It's truly wonderful. I love wearing it all the time, it's so comforting and refreshing, and also warm and intoxicating!!! Beautiful!!

This was a blind buy for me, on the basis of the above comparison to Guess Gold for Women, which I used to love. The comparison is an accurate one - it has the same richness and womanliness that I loved in Guess Gold. It's a mature scent - I guess that's the leather - but not at all an old one, and the florals stop it from being too masculine. It does fade a fair bit over the course of the day - but I can still smell traces of it on my wrists after 12 hours. I'm definitely going to be wearing this one to work regularly.

I fell in love with this fragrance for two reasons: the scent is amazing and it shares the first name of my daughter. My daughter and I were shopping at Brooks Brothers and, of course, I had to go look at the fragrances. I was picking up the bottles, sampling them, and this one stood out. When I saw the name was as beautiful as the fragrance, I knew I had to have it. It is my new signature fragrance. My most beloved creation on this planet and my favorite perfume in one...can't beat that. :)

I just picked this up at Marshalls and have to agree with all the positive reviews on here - this is totally amazing. I think this has the quality of a designer perfume. One of my best purchases! It is a perfect addition to my collection. So glad I didn't pass on this. Truly a perfect scent!

I love the scent of this perfume - it's feminine but not overly sweet. However, on me, it just doesn't last long at all, and I can barely smell it after about an hour. Real shame, because the scent is just perfect.

BTW this smells similar to cassablanca by Swiss Arabian. I know the notes aren't the same but it really does smell similar

Madison is an unusual fusion of Tuscan Leather-esque unisex leather and a distinctly sparkling Flowerbomb sweetness, with shot of extremely juicy pink pepper. It's not a dupe of either of those two scents, but it does reference them. Also, I have to note, that Madison has lasted through TWO showers. It's quite strong. Madison has a pretty intense development, it really changes every few hours. Starts off as dry saddle leather and raspberry (not candied, it smells like the actual fruit) with a little rose. Smells kind of Tuscan leather-y, but more feminine. Later on it shifts to breezy benzoin and raspberry, some fluffy peony, just a smidge of very warm musk. Madison is almost white-ambery at this stage. So, vanillic, but not vanilla, and certainly not dense and cloying like vanilla can me. Then it starts smelling like a chilled rose water drink. The drydown is a hint of a rose water drink with sugar cubes, sweet musk-chouli, and an extremely strong and juicy pink pepper.

I have quite the collection now and most perfume grows on me but this was an instant love! A lot sweeter than I thought it would be, but how refreshing with a truly gorgeous feminine scent after all my unisex purchases. I can only agree with all the praise, Madison is a beautiful perfume! ❤️ Very long-lasting Update: some ingredient in this disagrees with me, like it triggers my (pretty non-existing) astma. It feels quite synthetic and I feel unwell when I wear it so not working for me the way I hoped it would...

Does NOT smell anything like TF Tuscan Leather. I found this today at TJ Maxx....clearance priced. Light rose/leather....fruity.. Easy to like...easy to wear....good performance... "Typical" crowd pleaser type scent. A lot of scents out there are "similar" IMHO. Actually...a very nice/decent scent.

That's a proper, well-balanced, and well-blended fragrance. It is not a dupe of anything. All Brook Brothers fragrances were like this. I have New York and Black Fleece. They are all exceptionally high quality and made of quality ingredients.

I am rare in my thoughts on this but OMG this is horrendous. What is supposed to be leather comes across as smokey on me. I got no fruit and I am not enjoying this at all. I couldn't wait to get this off me and even trying to get it off there is still enough hanging on that I smell it. I can usually handle scents I am not initially pleased with to give them a test but no way with this. I bought a huge 3.4 oz bottle as a blind buy because not only was it a good price but due to the good reviews below. However, I would say that this is in no way a safe blind buy.

This is a great fragrance to my nose. The opening is somewhat fresh imo and the leather is noticeable, but not very animalic. Fruity and sweet with the florals being a supporting role which I’m a fan of. The dry down is awesome, but I’ll get into that. It reminds me of Hanae Mori HM. One of my top 5. This is no slouch ladies and gentleman. One thing I’m surprised no one has said is how the patchouli comes through in the late mid. It’s pretty noticeable to me and for a lot of people it’s a love or hate sort of note. I will say it’s a subdued patchouli, and it could be there for weight/fullness as opposed to a wood. Don’t get me wrong the dry down is very, very nice. Light fruits with vanilla and musk that adds more cream along with leather, and whiffs of patchouli. A smooth operator for sure. The only strange thing to my nose is the leather creates a “bandaid” accord in the mid.. but my guess is after letting the bottle breathe it will become more natural and subtle. I usually give age ranges and whatnot in my reviews, days and times as well as seasons, but I’m not experienced enough in women’s to make those assumptions. I would say it starts very sweet, young and vibrant.. then dries down to a more refined “classy” scent. Also it seems to travel through the seasons (starts in warm weather and ends in fall) and time of day (the literal day to night perfume?) because of its evolution. Overall I think this is a great release from Brooks Brothers, not being too complex, while having depth, escaping the “generic” linear sweet fruity floral we all smell being sprayed at TJ Maxx. Overall.. great juice.

Wow, nice surprise I found in Brooks Brothers! It's spicy and feminine. One bottle will last me forever, it is pretty strong on me, and lasts all day. This could really be unisex. I suggest the guys try it out too. It's really a nice surprise. I'm used to paying more, I'm glad I ventured over to the fragrances while clothes shopping! It is packaged so cute too! I encourage you all to give it a try. There's nothing else quite like it out there. It's a very winter fragrance for me. I'm really glad I found it! Thought I would share the good news :) BTW, the mens fragrances are quite yummy as well, which I will be buying the Royal Musk for DH. Good stuff!

Just beautiful!! A truly versatile fragrance for both day and night and all seasons. It is truly delightful! People always stop me and ask me what I'm wearing when I have this on. The leather and benzoin keep the vanilla and rose from making this smell like so many celebrity scents. The amber and saffron add a complexity that is unusual and adds to the mystery of this perfume! 10out of 10 on this one!

After hearing numerous positive reviews, I picked up a super bargain at Marshalls and paid $6 for 3.4 oz bottle. I hate to be a downer, but I do not like this. All I get is sweet fruity raspberry and little else. The dry down improves but I find this slightly cheap smelling. I barley get any leather or any benzoin or patchouli at all Unisex? Niche quality? I don't think so.

sounds lovely... looking forward to it.

It kinda smells like Layton on me
