Madison Pour Femme

Madison Pour Femme by Roja Parfums is a feminine-leaning parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and mandarin, moves into rose de mai, jasmine, ylang-ylang, labdanum, heliotrope and violet and dries down to pink pepper, patchouli, cedarwood, sandalwood, benzoin and vanilla. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.

Heart

Rose de Mai Softer, honeyed May rose. Expensive and unmistakably natural.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.

Dry-down

Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
