Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Ma Dame opens with Orange, settles into a heart of Rose and Pomegranate, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. Jean Paul Gaultier's Ma Dame carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Ma Dame is divisive, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent with a uniquely artificial fruity sweetness. It screams fun and youthful irreverence - definitely not for shrinking violets.

About

Opens with an energetic burst of bright, juicy orange, quickly joined by a sticky-sweet pomegranate note that some find reminiscent of grenadine or chewy sweets. A subtle, indolic rose emerges, adding a touch of floral sophistication, before settling into a soft, clean musk and a hint of woody cedar. Some detect a curious 'plastic' or 'vinyl' undertone, which only adds to its quirky charm.
