Bath & Body Works Mad About You is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014. Mad About You opens with Blackcurrant and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Peony and Lily, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Bath & Body Works's Mad About You carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, with plenty of fans missing its fruity-floral charm but a vocal minority finding it sickly sweet or downright unpleasant. It’s got a divisive patchouli base that either adds depth or sours the whole experience for some.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a fruity-floral profile, make it suitable for casual wear and dates without being overpowering. The underlying patchouli and amber give it enough depth for an evening out, but it's generally too playful for very formal settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mad About You bursts open with a juicy, tart blackcurrant explosion, reminiscent of ripe berries ready for a summer picnic. This lively fruitiness then gracefully blends into a delicate heart of soft peony and lily, adding a touch of feminine charm. The drydown settles into a surprisingly sultry blend of warm amber, earthy patchouli, and a whisper of vanilla, creating a sensual and comforting finish.
