  1. Great idea to do the scents of Madonna. I completely agree with Carnal Flower and not just because her Truth or Dare is a tuberose scent also CdG2 is another very appropriate one. I might have included something from the big 80's florals for her earlier years (Giorgio Beverly Hills?) but, I like the Patchouli Patch idea. This also makes me want to go out and try M/Mink again. I am looking forward to her new flanker (Bare, Nude?? I forget…).

    1. Dubaiscents, thanks very much. I wanted us to have a bit of fun with these posts. I did wonder about a large 80's power-frag, but I decided it didn't go with any of the tours.

      By the way, M/MInk is well worth checking out.

  2. My goodness, this is the most fun posting I've read for such a while. Thank you :-)) I've never even heard of some of those perfumes. I'll have to check them out.

    Now I'm going over to the read the other bloggers lists.

  3. This put a smile on my face. And brought back many memories. Thanks. And yes, Blond Ambition and Carnal Flower… that works!

  4. Okay, I didn't see this one coming! But thank u! It's never to soon to start festive silliness IMHO. More the better!

  5. Good fun to read. I am VERY reliably informed that she herself wore (or wears) Annick Goutal Gardenia Passion, Caron Poivre and Piguet Fracas… so obviously a strong, spicy white flower girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. Just a quick thought:

    Usually, when we wear fragrance, it evokes a certain image/memory etc. (you've probably heard this before). I think it's absolutely novel and fun that you've turned this notion on its head and used an image (Madonna's tours) to inspire a fragrance.

    I think you've got Tocade and Carnal Flower spot on!

  7. Sir, you always produce a great list of fragrance and I see we both managed to post about Kurkdjian. Another fav of mine made your list as well, 2 Man. I'll have to look into the others.

  8. Wow, I am impressed with your thorough account of all of Madonna's tours! Very cool. Neither you nor I could resist using one of the most delicious words known to man– ecclesiastical. It makes me shiver with delight. This theme was so much fun for me!

    1. Carrie, thanks very much.

      Is 'thorough' a euphemism for 'geekily obsessive'? 😉

      And yes, ecclesiastical is a great word.

      I'm glad you enjoyed the theme; I did too. Now I'm looking forward to our 'end of year' lists.

  9. Are you trying to tell me that you've been too all these shows?

    Really entertaining post BTW. Just what I needed when I realised I've got no money to pay for xmas prezzies.

    1. Dot, I'm glad the list cheered you up. And no, I can't say I've been to all the shows. Although it would have been amazing to see some of the earlier ones.

I love hearing from my readers, so please feel free to write a comment or ask a question.
