Tendre Madeleine Laurence Dumont for women

I've had this bottle for almost 3yrs and I've only wore out about 5 times maybe, I never really gave this the attention I should've but hey, better late than never. This is paradise for a gormand head! (in Paula Deen'voice) I smell butter! cinnamon,almond and orange. It's time to bake some cakes and cookies yall!


As always, I’m sending y’all love and best olfactory endevours, from my nose to yours.

Opens like a sweeter Dolce Vita, and ends like L de Lolita Lempicka. It doesn't last long and the base notes are somewhat common (what you pay is what you get I guess) but I really want a full bottle:) Nicely done!

Hmm, never smelled this one but it doesn't seem like it smells anything like the madeleines I've eaten -- which had no cinnamon / spice or almond, and were basically sweet, eggy & buttery, little sponge cakes with a hint of lemon.

When I first spray it smells really close to L'Occitaine Ambre, then after ten minutes it is more L de Lolita. I like both those scents so I really like this. L was lovely when I tested it but in the dry down there is something off for me, I think it's the immortelle flower note? Tendre Madeleine is the best part of L without going funky on me! Doesn't have huge sillage but it lasts a decent amount of time, staying close to the skin. A just slightly sweet, little cinnamon stick dusted with vanilla, the citrus is just there to keep it from being "too much".

A buttery, vanilla sugar almond cookie gourmand. It smells to me very similar to Molinard Tendre Friandise.

i just received this recently and i love it. it's a cinnamon stick dipped in creamy vanilla tied together with a lovely musk bow. just a beautiful sweetie that i adore already. i actually could still smell it this morning when i woke up so i would say lasting time is good. i'll be wearing this a lot this winter. i'm very happy with this purchase.

*note* thank you hayven for a great recommendation

I was worried that this would smell like L de Lolita because others have said so (and that perfume smells like potpourri on me); but luckily for me, this has a scent of its own.

My favorite coffee creamer of all time is Coffeemate's Warm Cinnamon Cookie that comes out around Christmastime...this smells exactly like it. It is a soft, cinnamon cookie smell. Longevity is good; I sprayed it on each surface of my hand 5 hours ago and I still get whiffs of scent here and there.

Absolutely Delicious! A spicy lemon cookie, but more warm then spicy. A wonderful gourmand. It smells edible like you just finished baking some lemon biscuits with cardamom, yes cardamom. I know it is not listed in the notes, but apparently the mixture of these notes makes it smell like a sweet lemon cookie that was spiced with cardamom. The initial spray is slightly sweeter then the drydown. I started smelling fresh cardamom that has just been cracked open, reminiscent of Kheer, a Persian rice pudding dish with almonds, raisins, and cardamom. I would say this smells like a warm bowl of Kheer with a side of a lemon wafer.
Perfect for Windy days, Spring, Fall & of course Winter. I say Windy days because this one needs some Air to get some silage. I sprayed it in my house and couldn't really smell it unless I stuck my nose to my wrist, but as soon as I stepped out, and I am not exaggerating here, I got a big whiff of it, and over and over again after that. Delish! A light gourmand that is really unisex because of the spiciness to it. Lovely! Now I am hungry. I must try more from this line! :-) Enjoy!

i am a man and somewhere this is listed as unisex

its a very good scent i love it and i love the notes but its for too heavy maybe with more woody notes it would be perfect

nevertheless i love it but wont buy because its too heavy

very, very citrus opening. bergamot and i smell orange but don't see it listed as a note. this phase leaves quickly, thank god! i'm not a big fan of citrus. the dry down is still brighter than i would like from the citrus but the nice cinnamon and vanilla come in. it's an OK scent but i would not buy again.

When I first saw the line in our local store, I was searching for affordable yet something unique on its own. I was browsing the fragrances and they were pretty 'sugar' to me. [It was array of their vanilla fragrances] So I skipped this time too sugary vanilla frags [I still own Pink Sugar and Vanille Coco, yeah] and found this. First impression - lalala! L de Lolita! I used to have deo of that line so it's pretty much IT. Tendre Madeleine was available in 50 or 100ml. I liked it even tho didn't test it much so I took the 100 and I'm really glad I did. Cause in few months this line is no longer in store. Shet?

Story #2
So this basically is your real gourmand vanilla fragrance. It smells like... erm some kind of muffin cookie I never ate [I googled those and it looked yummy]. It smells of vanilla, a little sugar, lots of almonds [yay] and something like orange jelly. There is some citrusy undertone to it but it's paired with sugar so much that it must rather be 'the filling'.

Story #3
It is very intensive at first and then settles down but still is here. I do get used to this scent, but that sould be just me cause people around do nothice this. So that makes me think sillage is ok. Well I put it on in more amount than any strong fragrances I own. But... it is so divine that you literally want to get sugar overdose. so be careful.

This is divine...and probably the best perfume with cinnamon that I have ever smelled. I think it is unique - I can detect all of the notes pretty well. The cinnamon does wear off fairly shortly, but the almond, woods, and vanilla are beautiful in this one.

Les Senteurs Gourmandes TENDRE MADELEINE diverges fairly dramatically from my concept of madeleine, particularly in the cinnamon opening. I would say that TENDRE MADELEINE is closer to a cinnamon sugar cookie or something along the lines of Pepperidge Farms Bordeaux.

The cinnamon is shortlived, however, and TENDRE MADELEINE develops swiftly to a butter residue drydown that reminds me very much of the butter flavoring used on microwave popcorn, except that here it is sweetened by a touch of vanilla.

TENDRE MADELEINE is my least favorite of the Senteurs Gourmandes line that I've tried, but for gourmand vanilla lovers looking for a creamy sweet butter drydown, you'll find it here.

I find it sweet upon application with just a hint of tartness from the bergamot and orange zest. I find the cinnamon very retiring (almost non-existent in fact which is too bad) with the almond and woods more apparent. And of course vanilla. I definitely get the musk note in the drydown. I tend to generally like gourmand fragrances so this is no exception. Even so, I don't think it's a love nor something I have to own since I don't find it overly original.
