Narcotic
Mad Parfumeur launched Narcotic in 2025 as a unisex fresh floral option for daytime wear in warm weather. Built around a core of white florals and tart citrus, it bridges the gap between clean office scents and easygoing weekend fragrances. The blend pairs bergamot and citron with peach up top, while jasmine and orange blossom dominate the middle phase on skin. A light base of amber and moss keeps the scent grounded during long humid hours. It appeals to wearers who enjoy airy floral compositions with a bright fruity edge.

Expect 6 to 8 hours of total longevity on skin with moderate sillage extending arm's length for the first 90 minutes. It thrives in warm spring and summer temperatures between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius, while cold weather tends to mute the peach note and sharpen the citrus opening.
Notes Pyramid

Narcotic opens with a sharp burst of citron, bergamot, and lime before yielding to a smooth heart of peach, jasmine, and orange blossom. The texture feels crisp and watery up top, turning silky and moderately sweet in the middle before settling into a dry mossy amber finish on skin.
Main Accords
7 MAPPEDThe dominant citrus accord leads with a sour, fizzy punch that dominates the first fifteen minutes before giving way to white floral dominance. Peach adds a dewy, fruit-sweet layer through the mid phase, while the amber and moss base accords provide a subtle earthy anchor that keeps the floral sweetness from turning cloying over time.

EDITORIAL“Mad Parfumeur Narcotic Review: Bright Citrus Floral With Peach Sweetness”
Mad Parfumeur Narcotic hits the skin with a sharp, brisk wave of citron and lime that wakes up the senses immediately. Bergamot adds a sour, sparkling citrus quality that instantly brightens the room. Within five minutes, the aggressive tartness softens as a juicy peach note rises from underneath, smoothing out the citrus edge without losing its initial crisp energy. It feels refreshing, vibrant, and clean right out of the atomizer.
As the top notes settle after twenty minutes, white florals take full control of the middle phase on skin. Jasmine brings an airy, slightly sweet presence that pairs cleanly with green orange blossom. The peach note stays active alongside the florals, preventing the jasmine from feeling overly heavy, thick, or indolic. This heart stage strikes an enjoyable balance between sun-drenched fruit and fresh wet petals.
On warm skin, the dominant citrus accords recede past the ninety minute mark, handing the spotlight over to the fruity white floral core. As the third hour approaches, moss and woodsy notes begin to surface from the base, accompanied by a faint touch of warm amber. The amber does not introduce thick resin or dense sweetness; instead, it provides just enough structure to keep the moss from smelling overly dry or earthy.
Performance is solid for a fresh spring scent in this price category. On my skin, Narcotic lasted seven full hours, projecting roughly two feet for the first two hours before settling into a personal scent bubble. It shines brightest in mild spring weather and warm summer days, especially during afternoon outdoor events where the peach and orange blossom notes pop in the breeze.
Mad Parfumeur markets Narcotic as a unisex fragrance, though the sweet peach and prominent jasmine pull slightly feminine during the mid dry-down. Still, anyone who appreciates clean, tart floral compositions will find it effortless to wear. It fits casual daytime errands, office shifts, and casual weekend brunches where heavy gourmands or dark spicy scents would feel suffocating.
I found the opening citron punch almost too sharp on cold skin, but the smooth peach and jasmine transition redeemed the wear entirely. Narcotic delivers an easy, crisp experience that outperforms its modest price tag. If you are searching for an affordable, high-energy alternative to pricey luxury white florals, this bottle is an easy recommendation to sample.
