Boring, arbitrary, exchangeable .....
that's how I felt about "Madison" when I first tested him. Quickly a judgement is made, just as quickly a statement written and just as quickly graded. And once again one of the unwritten commandments for Profumas proves to be true: "Don't write statements rashly! My first statement about Madison has long been erased, because I found myself repeatedly drawing my hand in the morning to the small amount of liquid in my sample box. I got into a lot of musing now. How could it be that I wore a fragrance that I had dismissed as mediocre far more often than, for example, my darlings "Danger/Roja" or "Vol de Nuit/Guerlain" or "Cuir de Russie/Chanel", which I all three from the first spraying away as "how-always-anytime-have to-have" fragrances?
As the little sample slowly and inexorably approached the end, it gradually dawned on me: "Madison" simply made me feel at home - and it fits me perfectly during working hours. Not too much, not too little, not too unusual, but not too simple. I spray it once in a while for lunch - and then enjoy this fresh start it offers, very much.
He greets me cheerfully with bergamot and other citrus scents, unsweet, but far away from tart or scratchy. Within minutes, Madison becomes like a veil dance. The different materials lie on top of each other, expose each other mutually, overlap each other again, in order to make other layers visible a little later. Depending on what my nose concentrates on, different and sometimes contradictory scent impressions float in my consciousness.
Gentle incense, unobtrusive musk, peppery spice, a hint of wood. In between interwoven floral diversity. Mai-Rose is standing there looking in the pyramid - and that makes me very curious. I have considerable difficulties with rose scents, rose is often too acidic for me, too spicy, too dominant to overwhelming. I might have sniffed jasmine here, but there's no doubt about that either. The floral note of the perfume is hard to grasp. I don't associate it with a brilliant white flower, certainly nothing dark, but something in between, ladylike elegant, but absolutely not bland.
At Madison I can only approach a description of the fragrance with the help of the given pyramid. It is not easy to grasp, because this coexistence of the different notes forms a complex composition, with which my nose is completely overwhelmed without help.
With fruits in perfumes, it's similar with me to rose: a difficult subject. Raspberry and strawberry, which for my taste appeared far too often in perfumes for a while, often remind me - I ask for the indulgence of all the friends of this note - of the fruit dwarfs that my children for a while almost scooped into themselves in search of something. In Madison I actually smell a distinctive fruity note, which is indicated in the pyramid as black currant. And that's a really wonderful thing. Black currants with their tart acidity and the slightly metallic taste that they leave in the mouth when eating form a wonderful counterbalance to the sweetness and spice that otherwise determine the aroma.
Madison becomes increasingly powdery on the skin, ethereally translucent, but without losing its presence and contour. I perceive the very aspect of bitter acidity that I attribute to currants (knowing the pyramid) right down to the base - and it makes Madison for me exactly what I use it for: a daily wearable and yet extraordinary companion!
As I have crazy long working days at the moment, it's these scents that are especially important to me in my collection and I'm glad I had a generous sample of Madison - and the opportunity to get to know and love this beautiful fragrance.
And once again from me: A big cheer for the souk and the possibilities it offers us all!
