Consider buying if you enjoy fresh, unique scents with a twist.
Mad World by Carolina Herrera is described as a fresh and vibrant fragrance with a unique blend of citrus and tea notes. Users often mention the bright opening of bergamot and lemon, followed by a distinctive heart of Lapsang Souchong tea and osmanthus, which adds an intriguing twist. While some enthusiasts appreciate its originality and complexity, others find it less appealing, noting that the drydown can be polarizing with its woody and musky base. It is generally recommended for spring and summer wear, as well as casual occasions, but opinions on its longevity and projection vary widely.

LongevityLasts about six hours on the skin before fading away. You might catch a hint of it on clothing for a day or so.
ProjectionAn arm's-length cloud at first, then settles in closer after the first hour. It's noticeable but not overwhelming.
