Bold and charismatic, Mad Madame strides in with a metallic shimmer of rose oxide over juicy blackcurrant bud and amber, then swirls into a provocative heart where patchouli, tuberose, peony, jasmine, and moss add bite and texture. As the fragrance settles, a sensual skin aura of castoreum, white musk, tolu balsam, and vanilla absolute creates a confident green chypre trail that turns heads and sparks conversation.

Story and Positioning
Conceived as an audacious chapter in the house’s rose-driven narrative, Mad Madame is officially framed as a green chypre built around metallic rose oxide, blackcurrant bud absolute, and modern ambroxan, with the brand language celebrating a woman who fascinates, provokes, and loves to be talked about. If you enjoy daring rose chypres with animalic facets, fans often compare it with scents like Agent Provocateur and Nirvana Rose for that confident, seductive attitude, while Mad Madame keeps its own glossy crimson signature.
Bottle and Design
Presented in the house’s cylindrical bottle finished in saturated red lacquer with ornamental black scrollwork and a glossy black cap, Mad Madame looks as bold as it smells. Retail imagery shows the striking red bottle paired with a crisp white presentation box, giving strong shelf presence and easy gift appeal.
