Editor’s Note : When I met Madalina and Julien at Esxence in 2015, I fell in love with Nea. Garuda seemed to be more popular, but Madalina and Luca remember my enthusiasm. I hesistate to write that I love a perfume before I have smelled it, but as readers know I have my own histoire d’amour with davana, orange blossom, honey, amber and benzoin. On shelf September and October 2016. Indigo Perfumery carries Jul et Mad in the USA, so call Ann to preorder NOW
