Truth or Dare Madonna 2012

Being the Tuberose slut I am, I've been dying to try this fragrance since it's release. I was bitterly disappointed that the launch of Truth or Dare was restricted. It is, after all, a Coty fragrance and as such one would've thought that it would be crawling out of the walls in malls all over the planet. It's Madonna!! This should've been the MOTHER of all launches.

Nevertheless I was in England at the end of May this year when the chance to try and buy presented itself! Love at first sniff for me I'm happy to report. Truth or Dare has rocketed to the top of my 'all time favorite tuberose' list, nudged into second place only by Carnal Flower, and then only by the very smallest of margins.
Yes, it does remind of Fracas but only for the briefest of moments before it goes on to become a fragrance all of it's own. It's so versatile and androgenously gender bending that the mind boggles. The tuberose here is lush and creamy ... the white musk providing more of a civet-like feel to the long lasting drydown. It's actually such a surprise ... one would never think that a fragrance with two such distinct personalities could reside in one bottle. It's white floral, yes ... that's the 'Truth' bit. What makes it so special, however, is the 'Dare' part ... so uninhibitedly sexual and skanky! It's gorgeous. My skin gobbles up fragrance like crazy ... Truth or Dare lasts a good 8 hours on me! That alone makes it fabulous in my book! I wore copious amounts of this on the plane flying home, and was literally pulled into an inflight party by a bunch of raucous English gals who declared loudly that I smelled absolutely edible. Much fun was had :).

All in all a winner!! My advice is to completely abuse the trigger on this one ... guy or gal this fragrance will rocket you to the top of the desirability listings. Whether you like Madonna or not it has to be about the fragrance ... it's simply wonderful :).
