This is the original scent, not a reformulation. Madeleine de Madeleine was a niche, boutique scent in the late 70's and early 80's. It was impossible to find for many years until longlostperfumes came around. I hope you try it. sometime.guerligirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-33863688403942440382010-06-16T00:09:51.448-04:002010-06-16T00:09:51.448-04:00You've covered all of my favorites and more, b...You've covered all of my favorites and more, but I _love_ (lovelovelove) the mothballs-soaked-in-gasoline opening of Tubereuse Criminelle.
