What do reviewers say about Madison and Pure Poison?
The leather doesn't play backup. It anchors everything, keeps the peony and jasmine from floating into forgettable territory. Brooks Brothers restraint meets something that finally decided to flirt.Madison
White florals at their most deliberate. This is the fragrance that doesn't ask permission, it just takes up space, cool and creamy and unafraid. Pure Poison isn't trying to convert you.Pure Poison
