Madeleine

Inspiration
Madeleine from the Le Donne di Masque collection is a memory of the legendary tearoom on the Rue de Rivoli in Paris. Co-founder Alessandro Brun ended every business trip to Paris there, often with a Mont Blanc: the chestnut dessert his mother used to make for him, and from whom he inherited his love of travel and refined afternoon teas. Perfumer Fanny Bal translated that sweet memory into a floral creation, like a charming young woman sipping hot chocolate on the Rue de Rivoli.

The Signature of Madeleine
Madeleine connects patisserie and flowers in a remarkably elegant way. A chestnut accord and airy Chantilly open soft and creamy, with a touch of cumin adding warmth and a skin-like quality. At the heart is tuberose, freshened by cypress and geranium so the flower never becomes heavy. Tonka absolute, vanilla pods extract and milky musks form a warm, soft base reminiscent of cream and roasted chestnut.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
For us, Madeleine is a gourmand with allure: sweet yet restrained, with a tuberose that makes the whole grown-up. A comforting scent for autumn and winter, with a touch of Parisian nostalgia.
