Madonna (Lilly)
by Dedcool
Madonna (Lilly) by Dedcool is a woody, spicy fragrance centered around black pepper, sandalwood, amber, cardamom, and moss. It opens with a bright, crackling black pepper note, followed by smooth sandalwood and amber, leading into a deep, mossy, earthy base. The scent is warm and complex, with an unexpectedly clean and fresh character that emerges in the dry-down, making it feel both inviting and subtle. Despite the name suggesting a floral lily note, there is no actual lily or floral element — the scent is entirely woody and spicy, with some users noting unexpected sharp or synthetic green notes that can feel acrid or soapy. It is unisex in intent with no strong gender markers, generally worn during daytime hours and favored in autumn, though some find it ties in better with cooler months. The scent projects moderately and has moderate longevity, though some users note it fades quickly on skin, requiring reapplication.
Pros
- +A surprisingly fresh and balanced spicy-woody scent with a bright black pepper opening that adds intrigue.
- +Well-suited for everyday wear with a moderate sillage that stays present without being overwhelming.
- +Appealing for those who enjoy warm, earthy, complex fragrances with some green mossy depth.
Cons
- −No actual floral or lily note — the name may mislead those expecting a floral scent.
- −Some users find it acrid or unpleasantly sharp, particularly a synthetic green or soapy dry-down.
- −Limited longevity on skin, often requiring reapplication even with moderate initial projection.
