I expected it to be vanilla all around but on me this was chocolate, milk, vanilla and not very original or great. Now, let´s be honest: this is nothing groundbreaking, but we were not expecting something original from Katy Perry,right? It is a very comforting scent and I actually dont care for sweet perfumes but this is a different kind of sweet that isn't sickening. It smells nice but the fragrance has no depth or further development, and it doesn't last very long even when I use the matching lotion. I saw the notes and was so excited to try it but sadly for 'me' the notes of amber and musk comes out too strong to take in any other notes of the apple, florals and vanilla.

However, not even all these reviews could really prepare me for how incredibly, disappointingly weak it is. Some days, I think it's lovely, other days, I feel like I sprayed myself with some sort of sticky, cheap kid's perfume. I just don't know what happened here,it doesn't suit her style,there's nothing "mad" about it,the bottle isn't great irl,why bother? Mad Potion, is a cologne, not an eau de parfum, so it is gone really fast, like so many others have stated.Mad Potion is a simple fragrance but it is different to any other Vanilla based fragrance I have experienced.

I didn't pay a lot for my bottle, and I had tested the scent first, so I will not complain about the quality. I love the mixture of apple, peony, orchid and jasmine, with the smooth, delicious and creamy vanilla, musk and amber. So I may end up either putting it in the bathroom as a room spray (my kids steal so many of my perfumes and do that! This fragrance adds such a nice dose of vanilla, sweetness and warmth to whatever fragrance you mix it with.This has a very unique gourmand bubblegum-vanilla scent is the best way I can think of describing it that I couldn't see anyone who likes vanilla not liking it. I'm sitting here almost 4 hours after applying and I don't yet feel the need to spray again (it probably does sit closer to the skin now that when I first sprayed). There is a range of different vanillas in the world and this fragrance happens to highlight Vanilla Orchid. The base notes form the foundation of the fragrance, rounds off the smell experience and gives the fragrance a certain degree of depth.
