Chopard launched Madness in 2001 — and it was a brilliant move. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the floral and wood families. The fragrance was crafted by perfumers Caroline Scheufele and Christine Nagel. From the Madness collection; released as eau de toilette.
It carries a noticeable sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. This fragrance doesn't rush to leave — you can count on high longevity. Country of origin — France. Madness Chopard unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Madness is built as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Chopard is evident in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Fruit, Spicy and Floral. The framework further includes Wood and Whiteflower. From a family perspective the composition sits in Floral and Wood.
Right at the start you catch invigorating sunny top notes: Kumquat, Lychee and Pink pepper.
When the opening settles you sense Hibiscus and Rose holding a harmonious floral direction.
The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In longevity terms High points to a sustained drydown presence. In projection Noticeable shows the style of diffusion around the wearer.
Taken together Madness sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
