The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2001, Madness by Chopard is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that embodies a delicate balance of freshness and warmth. Created by perfumer Christine Nagel, the composition opens with pink pepper and litchi, giving way to the heart notes of rose and hibiscus before settling into woody and musky base notes. The fragrance captures the essence of a vibrant yet refined elegance, characteristic of Chopard’s Swiss heritage.
Apply Madness generously on pulse points for a lasting effect. The pink pepper and litchi top notes are bright but fleeting, so layering is key to ensuring the woody and musky base notes shine through. This fragrance pairs well with daytime activities but can also transition seamlessly into evening.
