The Character and Concept of the Fragrance
13Perfumes Mad About You is a unisex fragrance from the Ukrainian brand 13Perfumes, released in 2022.
This is an extrait with a very powerful sillage, so the composition is intended for those who enjoy expressive fragrances and do not want to go unnoticed.
The name Mad About You sets an emotional mood: sensual, alluring and slightly reckless.
The fragrance's olfactory profile is built on a contrast between soft white florals, rich spices, warm amber and dry woody nuances.
It combines amber, animalic, balsamic, spicy, white-floral and woody facets.
Thanks to its extrait concentration, the scent feels dense and multilayered, while its sillage remains noticeable throughout the development.
The Fragrance Pyramid and Development on the Skin
The composition opens with jasmine, saffron and tonka bean.
Jasmine gives the opening a creamy floral expressiveness, saffron adds dry spice with a subtle metallic nuance, while tonka bean softens the transition with warm sweetness.
Together, they create a rich opening without any sense of carefree freshness.
Amber, grey amber and cade juniper emerge at the heart.
Amber and animalic accents intensify the sensuality of the composition, while cade introduces a smoky woody facet and makes the scent feel more focused.
Cedar and fir resin unfold in the base, creating a dry, resinous and lasting finish with a distinctive woody character.
Who Mad About You Is For
Mad About You is positioned as a unisex perfume and can sound equally natural on both women's and men's skin.
It is a choice for evening occasions, special meetings and situations when you want to highlight your individuality with a rich aromatic accent.
The composition performs best in cool weather and during the transitional seasons, when amber, resins, saffron and woody notes sound especially full-bodied.
Because of its very powerful sillage, the fragrance calls for careful dosing.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided for this release, so it is best to start with a minimal application and assess the development after a few minutes.
On fabric, the composition may last longer than on skin, while the intensity of the sillage depends on temperature, humidity and individual skin chemistry.
The Fragrance's Place in the Brand's Collection: No Separate Collection Is Listed
Nor is the name of the perfumer who created it provided.
At the same time, the release clearly demonstrates the brand's direction: bold, dense and emotional perfumery with a pronounced character.
The combination of saffron, white flowers, amber, animalic nuances and resins makes the fragrance recognizable in mood without reducing it to a single simple note.
