Madly Kenzo!

EDP: I really like the EDP version of Madly. It's mostly sweet florals & clean incense up top, & mid/base is very much cedar dominant on my skin. The dry down is musky & still very much cedar-y - (like real pencil shavings, not chemical IsoE type "woody") . I don't really find it smoky. The overall impression is a fairly unusual, spare "minimal" type of scent - quite tranquil & calming imho - & also quite at odds with its name! If I see this for a good price, I'm getting a back up :) I don't usually do layering, but this blends really well with CdG Dover Street Market. The incense matches perfectly (to me) & the sweetness of the florals in Madly add another dimension to DSM. I briefly tried the EDT version also, it smells "messy" to me, with way too much pink pepper & some sticky "fruitiness" bunged in on top of everything else. I do generally like Kenzo though, their perfumes always smell quite good on my skin.

Another new found love from Kenzo after Jungle L'Elephant. I think I will look more closely at Kenzo fragrances in the coming year. This is just perfect for me. I find myself reaching out for it more frequently. Also works really well all year round. It's slowly leaning towards becoming yet another signature for me (along with Gucci Guilty Intense). It pretty much stays linear on my skin, with just a slight variation towards the dry down. I surprisingly love its simplicity! Fair warning though, this is dry. Cedar, incense, pink pepper and heliotrope take center stage for me from opening to dry down. Only difference is I get a little bit of the orange flower at the beginning, and some musk in the dry down. EDIT: I also get vanilla in the dry down, which is more pronounced in colder months. Also, Madly Kenzo!'s sillage and longevity are moderate, so I think it's safe to use in a crowd.

This one is a superior quality scent. I just can't stop smelling it off the paper strip. Although I find it a bit masculine at first, due to its peppery, incensy, spicy, stong balsamic nature, it does have a bite that lends it a rich, gourmand, succulent quality ! I find it slightly similar to other scents like Lancome Miracle and Si Lolita Lempicka in its peppery incensey succulent texture. Quite a complex scent, and has a lot going on, has a bit of everything, and surely trying to analyse it is total madness ! Just stand back, breathing in is good, but breathe out is unforgettable... loving it already !

I smell pear and incense. No pear in the notes but this is the result of the mix I guess. It's soft, not too sweet, not too aggressive. Has the typical "hippie" vibe you can find in older Kenzo fragrances. Just a little of spiciness. A beautiful everyday Fall/Spring fragrance in my opinion. Lasting power is a couple of hours, more when spayed in hair. I don't get the amount of "dislike". It's quite a lovely perfume that is easy to wear and surprisingly unique despite the common notes.

This scent is really close to UFO, but UFO has a warmness to it that madly doesn't have. I smell no bubblegum or fruitiness in this scent! I'm guessing people are mixing this one up with edt, because the edt is fruity, nothing like the perfume version. Remember if your trying to tell the difference between the two, edp is in the purple bottle & the edt is in the pink bottle! Anyways, this is a very nice scent! If u can't afford the UFO, give this a try @ a quarter of the price!

Anyone really love the smell of washing that has been hung out to dry on a summer's day? Clean, fresh and comforting? Climbing into a newly changed bed with softly scented sheets? Or the comforting, erotic smell of a lover's neck? This is Madly for me. A warm, scented snuggly blanket. It stays close to the body and lasts for a good few hours. I agree with Eirlys, Madly would suit men or women. Think I might just go and find my man to test this out on right now!

To bad most people don't like this fragrance. Maybe it's because the warmth of the perfume is not going with most people's skinscent. But on my skin..... wow!! It is warm, soft, sensual, powdery and even a little bit cool. I really love it especialy because I didn't expect anything from a perfume by Kenzo. Most of the perfumes are to sweet/green and that's not going well with my skin. So it's a sweet surprise!! Btw It's lasting for hours and hours :)

The very first time I smelled it I couldn't understand it and it didn't impress me much. It seems to be fragrance with what You have to get used to or You have to "get to know it better". Overall quite interesting fragrance. On me it's delicate but has this something, what makes You and others around You excited. Flirtatious. After an hour reminds me of Juicy Fruit and I loved Juicy Fruit chewing gum in childhood.

I don't think this perfume is horrible like other people. I can feel only cinnamon (probably a mixture of incense and vanilla) and cedar, nothing more. This haven't a super strong smell (as Kenzo Jungle) is usable for many different occasions, but does not smell sophisticated. It is a good perfume, but I'll not buy it. For the price, I expected something more elaborate and sophisticated, especially being a Kenzo.

I find this so uplifting, It is my favourite of the few perfumes I own. I can see how others would dislike it though, but I appreciate its strength. I don't fink it too masculine, it does lack a lot of the sweetness of some women's perfumes though, but there are refreshing fruity notes, and I love love love peppery perfumes! It is also the only perfume I have worn regularly that I have not got bored of!

I don’t understand the negative reviews for this one, this was an instant love for me! It’s a soft smoky incense with a slight spice from pink pepper and a watery yet jammy sweet rose. Heliotrope provides powderiness throughout. Everything is ‘controlled’ no one note is too overpowering. It’s really lovely. Of all the Kenzo scents I’ve tried, this is by far the most sexy to me. Rating: 8.5/10

This truly is an Amazing Unique Fragrance, You want something different...this is a big must!!!...When I first sprayed it on my skin it was like Wow!!...alittle too spicy...then once it settled I could smell the fresh orange.. pink pepper and a tinge of musk...I absolutely love it...to me it's fresh unique and amazing...and mark my word...you will get tons of compliaments...

If any scent brings joy to my heart, it’s this one. This is exactly how the shaded and constantly damp corner of my parents’ lush backyard smelt in spring/summer. That’s the very spot where I used to play and interact with nature when I was very little. Oh, this EdP is the most potent trigger of emotions ever! Had to have it! I wonder what Freud would say about this. Lol

This perfume is the young sister of John Galliano EDP . Gothic and erotic , this is how I can describe the smell of it . I can smell red pepper , incense , vanilla and Virginia Cedar . The mix of those 4 principal notes make a wonderful fragrance . It's sexy and modern . Medium sillage and longevity .

Surprisingly nice! This was a blind buy for me, it gives me cdg incense series vibes but softer and sweeter. I usually don’t like pink pepper but here it adds the right amount of interest to the cedar and vanilla. Only used one spray and it was enough to last a few hours.

Bought this perfume with so much joy and i loved it and still do but it goes away so fast, wish it could last longer then it would be just perfect, i'm a kenzo girl and love most of kenzo perfumes except for the poppies one it just kills me

Esse perfume é maravilhoso... traz lembranças de uma primavera cheia de cor e ventos =) O agradável cheiro de pimenta nos remete à sensualidade escondida atrás da meninice do resto da fragância!

I've been wearing it for less than a week and I've already got plenty of compliments. Everyone says it smells really nice but it's a weird scent. I totally agree, the name is so fitting!

Kinky and bubbly pink pepper glowing on balsamic depth and floral-musky nuances. Vibrant and erotic, while original enough to make an extravagant signature scent.

Wore this several times over a cple of weeks and I absolutely love it. It does have an "incense" quality to it but it's subtle and lasts forever on my skin.
