I didn't see any other post on this (other than the announcement article), so I'm going to start a thread. (If there's something else, we can merge).
Anyway, I stopped at Macy's today and saw the Madonna perfume, Truth or Dare. Perfumeshrine's description is spot on. It is a Fracas wannabe, with the same distinctive creamy tuberose structure. But relative to Fracas, it is less tuberosy, more creamy, sweeter, and with a big dollop of white flowers, that is, in a modern direction. It is, in other words, much inferior to the ancestor.
But compared to the average celeb perfume, it is an improvement. At least, it is not sickeningly sugary pink.
The bottle is not as hideous as it appears in the pics. Just ugly, but at least with a minimum of bathroom retro.
cacio
