Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mad Madame Eau de Parfum
Divisive and unapologetically bold, Mad Madame is a 'love it or hate it' animalic rose that screams confidence. It's a sensual scent for those who dare to be different, but definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Radikal Lotus Extrait
This one's a proper dark horse. Forget the 'Radikal Lotus' name; it's a surprising shapeshifter that splits opinions right down the middle. Some find a fresh, juicy opening, others dive straight into an intense, Arabian-inspired rose. Definitely not one for a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Mad Madame Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and animalic accords, Mad Madame is too loud for office wear but perfect for dates and formal events where making a confident, lasting impression is desired. While some find it versatile enough for day or casual wear if applied lightly, its intensity leans more towards evening occasions.

Radikal Lotus Extrait

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong, warm spicy and amber character, this scent is best suited for evening wear like dates or formal events where its richness can shine. It's too intense for casual daytime wear or sporting activities and might be overwhelming in an office setting.
