Perfume Parlour Mad Essence - 2560 is an Eau de Parfum. Mad Essence - 2560 opens with Saffron, Coconut, and Rum, settles into a heart of Spicy, Oud, Rose, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's Mad Essence - 2560 carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Mad Essence is Perfume Parlour's dupe of Franck Boclet's Madness, following its coconut-saffron-rum opening through to an oud-rose heart and sandalwood-amber-musk base. It's a fair rendition of the niche extrait's boozy, exotic gourmand character at a fraction of the price, though flatter and less intense than Boclet's concentrated original.

About

Mad Essence is Perfume Parlour's dupe of Franck Boclet's Madness, an exotic oriental built on an unusual coconut-and-rum opening. Coconut, coconut milk, saffron and rum create a warm, boozy, slightly tropical start, before vanilla, spicy notes, oud and rose develop a rich, exotic heart. The base brings sandalwood, amber, patchouli and musk for a smooth, long-lasting oriental finish. It captures the addictive gourmand-oud character that makes Madness a cult niche pick, working well for cooler-weather evenings and date nights, though it lacks the extrait-strength intensity and longevity of the original Franck Boclet release.
