What do reviewers say about Mad Madame and Diane?
Mad Madame earns its reputation. The rose oxide is the pivot point, that metallic snap that makes people stop mid-sniff. If you want safe, look elsewhere.Mad Madame
The violet-and-frangipani pairing shouldn't work. Cool against warm, powder against cream. But it does, and the result is a fragrance that doesn't announce itself so much as it lingers.Diane
