Madeleine Impériale by Juliette Has a Gun is a bold oud gourmand fragrance inspired by the elegance of a classic French pastry.
Rich, indulgent and unmistakably opulent, Madeleine Impériale reimagines the familiar comfort of a freshly baked madeleine through a luxurious, oriental lens. A radiant burst of orange opens the composition, paired with a warm madeleine cake accord that immediately evokes buttery sweetness and nostalgia.
As the fragrance evolves, tonka bean and vanilla add creamy depth, before settling into a sensual base of honeyed woods, oud and sandalwood. The result is a sophisticated gourmand — where sweetness meets depth, and tradition is elevated into something more expressive and modern.
