5:40 PM in Madagascar

Ah Kenzo ... Such an underrated house. This is a shame. Kenzo produced some amazing and wearable fashion ... and beautiful perfumes :) Somehow they have been mostly forgotten despite the originality and the talent. Now back to this perfume. This is the best vanilla-heavy perfume I own because it stands out in the crowd of overly plain gourmand vanilla that are smelling like a cake. You definitely smell the lotus and some freshness for the first hour or so. It's woody as well. The dry down is some sort of vintage woody vanilla that is quite pleasant and not cloying. It's stays on my skin for a couple of hours. It is true that it is beautiful even during hot humid Summer days. And the bottle is beautiful with its sunset background.

A wonderful tropical vanilla scent. Bought this on a whim in the Duty Free before heading off to Bangkok. So it was inaugurated in the late afternoon heat at about 40 degrees and lots of humidity. You might think that it is too much but somehow it is well suited to a hot summer night. The lotus and woody notes keep it floral enough to stop guys from eating your neck (although they will try - I had some experience of this stuff being a man magnet!). It is a shame that it is discontinued. I managed to bag a back up bottle so I am safe for the next few years if I use it now and then. If you want some, please PM me.

I have it and absolutely love it. It's a simple fragrance, but it's beautiful in its simplicity. There's a beautiful vanilla - airy, fresh, absolutely adorable, probably the prettiest vanilla in perfumes I've ever smelt. There's also lotus noticeable, pretty one. The fragrance is very optimistic, it calms down but doesn't make you sleep, you last and last in admiration. My first time with Madagascar wasn't that great though, because I thought it was too simple. No way! The second time and love was born :D It lasts longer on me than Kenzo in Bali, the sillage is good :)

É delicioso, suave, doce e floral. Tem uma fixação muito boa, é elegante e fresco na medida certa (moro no Brasil). Mas se a pessoa quiser que o aroma fique mais intenso, pode aumentar a dose no corpo e, mesmo assim, continua sendo um perfume elegante. Achei o vidro maravilhoso, muito criativo, quase cinematográfico. Ou literário. Digo isso porque os nomes dos perfumes dessa série de Kenzo parecem nomes de filmes ou nomes de livros. A imagem nos vidros e a forma deles combina com essa ideia. Parabéns, Kenzo!! Obra de arte contemporânea!! ^_^

I genuinely miss this perfume. I used to always bring it from the trips in 2009-2011 and I haven’t smelt nothing like it since. Very airy, ozonic, but also woody, sweet woody, lactonic, very unique. Still looking for anything close to it or a dupe. That’s the only vanilla I ever liked, it’s raw woody vanilla that you don’t find in modern fragrances. Wish Kenzo brings it back at least as limited edition one day again.
