megank4 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 Madonna, Edvard Munch. Hyssop, pomegranate, Angel’s Trumpet, Indonesian patchouli, iris, white orchid, and frankincense. Odd. This reminds me of "Angels on Bare Skin" scrub from Lush. So-so overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voodoocatwoman Report post Posted October 7, 2009 Arrrrrgh! I need single notes so I can tell what I am sniffing. This is making me nuts! As best I can tell... there's something sharply floral- I can taste it- it's that strong. Behind that, something that is mostly green (iris?) that tones down the razor sharpness. After that, there's a hint of something clay-like or plastic in nature. The phases that this fragrance evolves through are just breathtaking. I don't think that I would wear this scent but it is magnificent in its presentation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cinderfallen Report post Posted October 13, 2009 This is quite pretty. It smells very much like Dark Delicacies at first--with the overlap of Angel/Devil's trumpet, white/black orchid, and patchouli, I wonder what it could be? I'm going to go with the Angel Trumpet as the sharp, sinister floral scent that eventually calms down into a softer, sweeter, flower scent with the hint of tart pomegranate. The end result is as aquatic as I'll ever be able to wear for my tricky skin chemistry, very soft and serene. The morph is very aproppriate of the painting of a dark Madonna.

Venneh Report post Posted February 1, 2011 In the imp, I'm getting pomegranate, hyssop, and florals. On my skin, much the same. We'll see where this goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SophieCedar Report post Posted March 4, 2011 I'm sure this is brilliant on someone else, but pomegranate does not like me. I can barely get it to say a nice word using Mme. Moriarty. The Great He-Goat, it threatens to bite but barely keeps in check. Madonna, it outright says to me "why do you keep trying to befriend me? You know better." This blend was the deepest disappointment of the Salon III set...considering I'm a perpetual, oblivious optimist in regards to perfumes. Wet, this comes across as strong hyssop and pomegranate with something that smells like dryer sheets. Drydown, no dryer sheets but still very sharp soapy green with tangy fruit. Oh well!

forspecial_plate Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Okay, I'm not sure which note is doing what at first. I put this on and for about 45 minutes, it was a stunning, sophisticated fruity incense deluxe fragrance. I thought uh-oh, another Salon perfume that I have to track down! I love patchouli but there is a certain patchouli that turns sour for me. Apparently that would be Indonesian patchouli because it takes over and kind of ruins Madonna for me, unfortunately. It reminds me of the heavy, sour patchouli that I didn't like in Smiling Spider. : ( I guess it's okay, since I can't afford to get all the Salon scents that I want anyway!
