Mad About You

AESTHETICS: #femmefatale #darkfemininevibe #melancholic #vamp #nighbutterfly #bewitching #datenight #mysterious • MUSIC: Lana del Rey - Cherry https://youtu.be/TYHeQivGRyQ?si=JBtYFOX9Y60OfLOn tl;dr: "It feels like a forbidden and erotic temptation, as it's slipping from our lips to the tip of our tongue and we taste the unspoken, whispered, lustful and secret words of love..."* ------- This is one of the most rounded, seductive, smoothly powdery but also shady and humid enigmatic cherry based lipstick fragrance what i ever smelled. It's not a very strong one with enermous sillage, but a pretty comlex one just like most creation by PG. ( btw the notes are not totally fullfilled/correct. The 'powdery and foral notes' are containing humid and earthy powdery iris and almondy-balmy heliotrope. And in the composition there are other red berries also. i recognise some raspberry-ish nuances. Plus there is also a bit of coumarin.) Pierre Guillaume takes this fragrance masterfully and with a delicate touch on to the edge of the gourmand theme. The sweetish Griotte!/Morello Cherry and the raspberry nuances paired with the almond like, balmy and powdery heliotrope and the iris gives a semi-lipstick effect which is fueled and “leather-powdery” sophistication of a unique duet of Bois de Violette and Absolue Thé Noir(/ black tea absolute). *It's feels like an erotic temptation, how it's slipping from our lips to the tip of our tongue and we taste the unspoken, whispered lustful words of love... And ahhw the licorice..! The licorice what is levitating above the root of the compisition: the woody, blurry and humid dark velvet! Licorice is the magical note which has this enigmatic, mysterious and a little bit poison like vibe and which has this bewitching hazy and etheteal veil like luminescence what fluresces from the shady background and makes this scent irressistibly alluring and enigmatic! ♡ Btw if i truly want i could understand the lolita lempicka - sweet comparsions... but Mad about You is much more rounder, smoother, darker and hazier. And this masterpiece has this truly lushfull and tempting erotic vibe with its own sophisticated ellegance. At the best case Lempicka's Sweet only could be the childish version of this. As usal, Pierre takes usual, familiar and often seen accords ( in this case just like in some lempickas or little black dress) then he twists and reinterprets them, and makes an unique creation with his recognisable fringerprints on it. For me Mad about You is an other gem from PG. 🍒🧪💋💜💄🖤🪻 ------- This is my second night-out/date night fav from him after La nuit de l'Orchidée what is masterpiece. ( Speeking about that, La Nuit also could be a noninteresting 1000x seen leather vanilla, but it's not that. I never ever smell nothing similar to that "liquid-leather" accord at the base in it) So if you like PG's creations and you are searching for bit melancholic smoothly dark, sophisticated and alluring night fragrances, i advice to smell Mad about You and La Nuit de l'Orchidée. ♡

First blast of sweet black cherries and a vaguely spicy warm wood. This is Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire's older and more sophisticated sister. The cherries are rounder and full, more juicy and real, not artificial cough syrupy at all. After a minute a soft floral sweetness steps forward, still sweet fruity with those soft spiced woods always in the background that start taking baby steps closer to the front as time passes. Unfortunately, this scent does not seem to be sticking to my skin at all. I'll keep my nose on it and I'm really hoping it hangs around because this is a gorgeous scent. Feminine and best for mild weather. 6+ hours later: The scent has very soft projection but at least it's sticking around. It's all faintly there on my skin now.

The opening of this gives me a flash of the original formulation of Lolita Lempicka. Definitely not as spicy or complex, but many of the components are there- cherry, licorice, powder (iris), and the ‘green’ from the tea (ivy). I keep getting a glimpse of the early 2000s, when that was my signature, whenever I get a whiff. Mad About You is obviously much simpler and more in-your-face but I still quite like it. This is like opening a young teen’s handbag with cherry lipgloss, violet candies, and a face powder compact inside- not exactly elegant, but a fun sweet scent that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

I got a sample of this one and i really liked it. So i bought a full bottle, just received it today. Im telling y'all it is so true spray vs dabber is no contest. I LOVE "Mad About You"!! The cherry and violet are so much more beautiful when it comes out of the spray. I definitely get the reference to Lolita Lempicka The licorice and black tea are delicious. Im not getting a lot of powder in this. Nice dry down. Im ver happy with this one! I do think it can be worn during all seasons. I dont think this is a LL dupe, more like a similar vibe. Might possibly be my new signature. 😉

Powder!! ... a lot of powder!! Sweet cherry licorice, a bit of wood and a lot of powder. By the way, did I mention that it’s powdery? In all seriousness, it’s very pretty. The florals take a bit to show up, and even when they do, they’re soft and understated. As I sit here typing this I’m wondering if it’s maybe a bit too much powder. I love powdery & sweet fragrances... but.... It’s hard to say much about longevity because I feel like it’s more likely you’d go nose-blind to it, than it actually wearing off. I’m on the fence about whether I need this or not. I want to love it, because it’s got all the elements I should adore... but I think it might be too much of a good thing.
