Madam X Alkemia

Madam X Alkemia is a deeply layered, powdery floriental with a core of soft iris, violet, and vanilla, grounded by earthy amber, sandalwood, and patchouli. The scent opens with a delicate burst of floral and citrus top notes—bergamot, mandarin, and black orchid—before settling into a softly sweet, suede-like drydown. The signature accord is a smooth fusion of powdery orris root, silken vanilla, and faint truffle-like earthiness, balanced by a warm musk and earthy woody base. While some find it initially generic or overly powdery, many note that its character evolves beautifully over time, revealing complexity and elegance upon aging. The scent is best experienced as a quiet, intimate presence—well-suited for evening wear and layering on clothing. Its sillage is moderate, and longevity is strong, though it demands a bit of application to be noticeable.
