Ambedo

"Tendre Madeleine" opens with an interesting, sweet, citric and spicy (cinnamon-?) head, which holds on to my skin for some time and tickles the nose positively. After some time it gives way to a very intense sweet mixture of almond and vanilla, whereby the vanilla reminds me somehow more of vanillin. In this rather long phase I find the fragrance very pleasant and "cuddly" on my skin; however, the strong, synthetic sweetness drifts into the unpleasant shrillness of my nose. TM is basically a beautiful, warm yellow for me, but in this phase it occasionally oscillates to a squeaky canary yellow. Many hours later (this scent stays on my skin until the following day) the perfume has turned into a simple, soft vanilla, similar perhaps to the scent of a good vanilla scented candle.
The quality of the fragrance I feel, especially considering its price, as high, the shelf life is enormous, the Sillage moderate to strong.
TM has similarities to its fragrance twin "L" by Lolita Lempicka, especially in its gourmand notes. In this respect he captures exactly what I like about "L", the mixture of vanilla, cinnamon and citrus, very beautifully and makes it the sole protagonist. The non-gourmanden notes, which make "L" something very special for me, are missing here, though. So, thanks to the citric chords, it's still an interesting gourmand scent for me, but altogether none with a particularly striking character.
In its beginning TM also reminds me of Frédéric Malles "Musc Ravageur". In the further course Tendre Madeleine remains however throughout a more or less loud Gourmand, while with MR for me a soft musk comes into the foreground.
I think it is possible to wear the fragrance in everyday life, even if it is more in your free time. Especially when staying longer in small rooms with several people I would be careful with this scent, has headache potential for me definitely.
My conclusion: A nice gourmand, which gets an interesting aftertaste by spice and citrus notes, but for me also crosses the fine line to nervousness. More homey Christmas bakery than confectionery. Nevertheless a cosy scent, in which you can cuddle up on a free day.

The first splash of "L" caused me a direct olfactory shock that only a few perfumes have managed so far. A positive one beyond all measure! With this fragrance it is difficult for me to smell out individual components, because the components for me fit together into a difficult to describe whole. I'll try it anyway:
For me, the fragrance begins with a bombastic, bitter and yet sweet bitter orange. After the top note has faded, "L" develops on my skin: I mainly perceive spicy vanilla and cinnamon notes in addition to musk. In between, the scent on my skin becomes sometimes sweetly powdery and plastic-like (reminds me of plastic dolls). In the last few hours a salt note appears more strongly on my skin next to the warm, powdery gourmand notes, which in my opinion harmonizes very nicely with the other notes, makes the scent a bit more angular in a very interesting way and gives it depth.
The bottle goes very well with the fragrance because it really reminds me of a small, mysterious, dreamy mermaid. It is by no means an aquatic scent, as the connotation of "sea" might suggest.
For me in any case a leisure scent, because it would be a bit too heavy and conspicuous for me in a professional setting.
One of the most interesting, complex and enchanting fragrances I have ever smelt. Too bad it's no longer available.

In my opinion, the bottle reflects the character of the fragrance very well. It is a discreet, floral-fruity and very feminine fragrance, perhaps more playful than serious. Delicate and slightly powdery sweetness. Personally, I particularly notice the cherry blossom and sugar notes and in them strongly; in contrast to the above mentioned notes, I also mean to sniff out some vanilla.
The Sillage I feel as rather mediocre to weak, just like the durability on the skin.
All in all, I don't think it's a very distinctive fragrance, but I like it very much and haven't found a comparable fragrance yet.
