I was wearing this perfume many times before I wrote my statement and every time I experienced this scent in the same kind of way. Luckily after a couple of days a sample was still on the table and I was thinking "now I try it one more time because I can't understand my opinion which differs so much from other people's opinions". And I'm so happy I gave it one more chance. This was originally my short statement: "Sadly on my skin Clary Sage, Marigold and Curcuma dominate so it’s herbal, spicy, aromatic, a tad bitter instead of fruity, white floral beauty." I rated the scent as 5 instead of the current 9. I described the scent with the following words: sharp, spicy, herbal, aromatic, unpleasant and now it's totally opposite so please give it another chance, or even the 3rd, 4th or 5th. Suddenly subtle sophisticated Peach emerged from the scent, as did beautiful white florals on a creamy base. Peach is very realistic and juicy first but but it fades away quite quickly and stays in the background the rest of the time. Jasmine is gorgeous, it's so pretty and I like that it's prominent instead of Tuberose. This scent is primarily a velvety soft Jasmine scent. There is a little bit of same kind of vibe here than in "Tamarindo | Memo Paris" but Tamarindo is distinctly tropical because of Pineapple and it's sweeter because of Vanilla and Benzoin in the base. Madurai never gets too sweet since the base is woody with a delicate hint of Suede. In Madurai Peach is barely there after the opening whereas in Tamarindo Peach is in the middle notes and it's detectable until the dry down. This is very elegant and attractive scent, suitable for office work since it's hard to imagine it would bother anyone. About the connection between the scent itself and the place: Madurai is one of the many temple towns in India. Madurai offers a captivating blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Beyond the magnificent temples and bustling streets, this region is blessed with picturesque waterfalls, lush forests, majestic hills, and charming hill stations, beckoning nature enthusiasts from all corners of the globe. Now I absolutely love this beauty and I need a bottle of it. I will get my bottle of "Flåm | Memo Paris" tomorrow so I think I will compare that one as well with Tamarindo and Madurai later. They are definitely the different kind of scents but the vibe in them is somewhat same Flåm being the most intimate one. Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review. I would appreciate if you follow my IG: @ninamariah_perfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more. 🤗
Beautiful tuberose layered with fresh spices and citrus. Somewhat addictive scent, improves your mood and makes you feel like it's spring and you're in a blooming garden, full of live.
