Reviews of Madame X
by Ava Luxe

This house continues to charm me with pleasing, unpretentious scents. Of those I have tried, Madame X has thus far been the most complex. I smelled: rose, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, powder, incense, patchouli, and something else I couldn't quite put my finger on, but had a sort of astringent and dry quality to it. I did not necessarily smell the notes in the stated order

Madame X reminds me a bit of Givenchy Organza Indecence, but is more dry, less spicy, less woody, and much shorter lived (after about 4 hours it is an amber-vanilla skin scent). It is a beautifully composed oriental, right smack in the middle of what I am typically attracted to. I am going to enjoy this large sample!

Towards the beginning, this was a lot more powdery than I thought it was going to be. I get this intense note that reminds of jojoba talc and it dominates for a while, but it doesn't entirely cover up the sexual animal underneath. After a good while this starts to get raunchy yet calculated and refined, and I say raunchy with the utmost praise. I had a hard time phrasing that sentence because its not quite right. It's not that the scent is ambiguous, but it just stirs up so much that I'm at a loss for concise words. This is fantastic on a woman, it drives me absolutely wild. A bit too powdery for a man, though it eventually backs off, but I think the right guy could still pull it off. Madame X is a seriously complex character, and I look forward to every meeting.

While I've never tried it, "Madame X" is one of the few fragrances out there with the three notes Civet, Ambergris, Castoreum recommended by the 20th Centuries top occultist (Alistair Crowley) as being effective at attracting love. I've used a fragrance with that combination, Andron by Jovon, and have had extremely good luck with members of the opposite sex.

This fragrance is a staple in my wardrobe and it always draws attention. It is a clean but hot, complex animalitic that is uniquely feminine without being sweet.

Madame X is the mysterious, seductive woman that everyone wants to come to their party. Men love her, women envy her, and she could give a damn.
