Launched in 2012, Mad Madame by Juliette Has A Gun is a chypre fragrance that captures the complexity of its namesake — bold and romantic, with layers of sophistication and mystery. Perfumer Romano Ricci crafted this scent to embody modern romanticism, blending rose and tuberose with smoky leather and powdery musk. The composition opens with black currant and freesia before settling into a rich base of patchouli, moss, and vanilla absolute, creating an olfactory blend that is both intimate and enigmatic.

Application Tips
Apply Mad Madame in light layers — the rich base notes develop slowly and can become overpowering if applied too heavily. It pairs well for both day and evening wear, but shines best when worn close to skin where its warmth is most noticeable.

The story behind the bottle.
A moonlit garden party where the air is thick with florals, smoke from distant bonfires, and the subtle hint of leather-bound books.
