Tendre Madeleine Laurence Dumont for women

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.
