Madonna (Lilly)

I blindly bought this perfume and wasn’t super impressed initially. However, it’s become one of my absolute favorites. It’s sophisticated, sexy, a little mysterious while still smelling fresh. It’s definitely a nighttime perfume. Wear it out to dinner, or to bed. It has a moss-like note. Almost like walking through a forest and exactly how I imagine a fairy to smell. Like a warm cup of chai tea. Maybe cardamom? Despite not having any sweet or floral notes, there’s something about it that smells jammy. I can’t put my finger on it. It’s peppery for sure...like freshly ground pepper that comes out of the mill. While that scent isn’t for everyone, it’s comforting and nostalgic to me. Longevity is crazy. It lasts for hours, lingers after showers. The sillage is quite strong upon application, but ends up just reducing to my own personal space a few hours later. Get a tester if you can. Decide for yourself.

I really, really love this perfume. I see a lot of people describe it as warm spicy but I think I would actually describe it as a cool, fresh, and clean spicy scent. I would also describe this scent as being somewhat gothic, but in a modern sort of way. This perfume makes me imagine what it would be like to stroll through an old church graveyard on a cool, rainy day. Lillies growing around the gravestones, and the fresh scent of damp wood emanating from a nearby forest. Overall, I'm impressed with this perfume and I will likely buy a full bottle once I've used up my sample.

Herbaceous and fresh, with alluring woody notes. Very unisex...sexy, clean and lasts well, even on the skin. I received a sample of this, and Confetto by Profumum Roma...loved them both for different reasons...but then, realized VERY strangely, that they layer quite well! So I had to have both. I have over 340 perfumes. I need to stop. Really. Hard to stop though. I have an entire room, temperature controlled, just for my perfumes. Some girls collect shoes and handbags...this is my obsession. Need to o check out the rest of the Dedcool frags..this one is a great start.

I really love this scent. I find it has a moderate sillage upon application, although that pulls in tighter to become more intimate within about an hour of applying. The scent hangs around for a few hours. While unisex, I do think this scent leans a bit more masculine - the combination of wood and pepper leaves more of an impression of cologne. My partner didn't care for it as much - he doesn't like "warm spicy" scents, but I love the combination of fresh and clean with warm and soft and woodsy. I think I will purchase this again and wear it for special occasions.

Yummy, peppery and clean and not pungent or overwhelming. Smells like... the wet stone and plants in a grotto youve just gone to worship at. I just wish it lasted longer! Edit: on the second wear I am OBSESSED, it smells like may in a conservative of deciduous woods, peppery and sweet and clean. Leans slightly more masculine but I keep getting a whiff and loving it. Still wish it lasted longer, it mutates into an intimate sandalwood after a couple hours
