GIVEAWAY: Review, Photos: Madonna’s New Fragrance Truth or Dare, Exclusively at Macy’s

29 May 2012 153 Comments

I, Erin Sutera, ultimate Madonna fan, was scared to smell the fragrance because I didn’t know what I would do if I didn’t like it. Well, disaster averted. I love it! Madonna has said in interviews that the strongest memory of her mother was her perfume, and that she wanted to create something to honor her.

It has been described as narcotic florals balanced with addictive woods and vanilla. The top notes of this fragrance are: Rich Gardenia, Creamy Tuberose and Dewy Neroli; middle notes: Carnal Jasmine, Benzoin Tears, White Lily Petals; base notes – Vanilla, Absolute Caramelized Amber and Sensual Musk Aura. My boyfriend doesn’t like Madonna, so I did a test. I wore the perfume without telling him which one, and he loved it. Girlfriend tested, boyfriend approved. I wear this perfume for work events. Definitely a sophisticated fragrance. Truth or Dare is available in three sizes: 75ml – $68.00; 50ml – $55.00; 30ml – $39.00; body lotion 200ml – $28.00; shower gel 200ml – $24.00.

    Wow, this fragrances sounds BEAUTIFUL! It has all these gorgeous florals in the top and middle notes but then the drydown sounds like it will wrap it up in this warm musky-sweet blanket! I would love to get a sample of this perfume!

  • dawn Demeglio said:

    I would love to try a sample love madonna n vanilla in it also, lov the bottle also thankyou n godbless Dawn demeglio

  • Debbie Wolski said:

    I think Madonna is a beautiful gift from God, too bad she doesn’t respect her religion. She must have a foundation of her Catholic faith that she hasn’t figured out how to use them in a manner that would glorify God. I am offended by the use of the IM which represents the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the beading seems much like our Rosary.
    I will definitely not be supporting this marketing. I’m not trying to be mean, but I am offended in this packaging.

  • Diane Horowitz said:

    Madonna is ageless and I love the way she’s always reinventing herself. But one of my favorites was when she was a brunette for Like a Prayer.

  • meena n said:

    madonna was gorgeous in like a virgin! will never forget how she looked. and also she looked stunning in the movie evita!

  • Courtney Lakey said:

    my favorite Madonna style is 80s Madonna,the Like a virgin look :)

    Her original 80′s style is my favorite. Papa don’t preach!

  • Lisa Vigna said:

    Oh wow, this is tough! I LOVE Madonna and she could do no wrong in my eyes. But if I had to choose, I LOVE the classic look of “Vogue”…”Breathless Mahoney” from Dick Tracy..”Evita”..and the video “Bad Girl” and “Take a Bow”. I love that retro look on her when her hair is a bit long, she’s dressed in vintage styles..ahh, that’s my favorite version. Regardless she’s always La Bella Madonna to me!!!

  • charlotte c said:

    I love her style changes they are all so fun and as she got older (passed the unibrow and weird asiany style)she looks freaking AMAZING! But my personal fave is Just like a prayer song and video so i have to go with the exact style!

    80′s Classic Madonna Look. Always a fav

  • Elisse said:

    I shared.. My fave outfits of hers had to be the pointy-breast bras (Jean Paul G?) around the time of Like A Virgin. We’re exactly the same age, Maddy & I, & I’ve always enjoyed how she keeps reinventing herself, even if it’s via Photoshop!

  • Moya Zahnn said:

    I’ve loved Madge FOREVER — but I truly think she looked her best during her years with Guy…I don’t know what it was, but she just looked…Settled, different…I can’t describe it. She’s AWESOME though and always looks good ;) Thanks for the opportunity to win! Excited :)

  • icecream said:

    like a virgin is my favorite of hers!

  • Davia G said:

    Honestly I love that Madonna keeps re~inventing herself..she proves that you do not have to dread aging…you can own it, embrace it, and celebrate life…Whatever way you please!
    She has blown wide open the stuffy, tame, boring, unsexy labels that have through the years inspiring and opening the doors to pave the way allowing current artists like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Miss Minaj ect to be bold, fearless, sexy, independent, well ~rounded in every aspect of the industry while and to remaining unapologetic for embracing themselves fully and to allways keep pushing those boundaries even wider so the next group of women can do the same!
    I love what she is doing now…she proves that age is only number respective..she looks incredible and can still and allways be a trendsetter!

  • Cindy Taylor said:

    Definitley loved her 80′s look… she inspired all of us who grew up in that decade to be ourselves and look outside the box..she continues to inspire us as we and she gets older… she proves that age is just a number and we can look & feel good about ourselves at any age..She still looks amazing!!! and would love to try a sample of her fragrance… sounds like it would be a perfect mix for everyone.

  • Kirsten said:

    I liked the Like a Virgin years…the lace, gloves, flouncy skirts..like Cyndi Lauper!

  • Kim said:

    I loved her 80′s look!! Loved the video for “Holiday” “Like A Virgin” and all the rest. She was and still is a trend setter. Love the sound of what this perfume smells like!! Would love to win as I need some new perfume!!!

  • Ricki Perlman said:

    Wow! I would LOVE to try this. LOVE MADONNA!!!!!!! Thank you for this opportunity!!

  • Liz said:

    I love her Papa Don’t Preach look, and also her Don’t Tell Me look from 2006.

  • Tanya Link said:

    I look forward to sampling this fragrance. Some of my favorite florals components are within. Madonna’s best look is her glam look…ala 1940′s inspired hair and dresses. She is just gorgeous.

  • Terri said:

    I liked and shared. I would LOVE to try this. It sounds beautiful. I think Madonna looks fantastic NOW! We saw her in concert on her candy shop tour. She was unbelievable, she danced and sang for almost two hours.No lip synching. She is amazing

  • Dhini said:

    I am curious with this parfum
    Like and share it

  • Laurean said:

    I loved Madonna of the 80s when she first came out of New York City. “Desperately Seeking Susan”was the best showcase of her personal style.

  • Aisha said:

    Have always loved her looks…no matter what :)

  • Suzy W. said:

    It would be simply awesome to wear some of Madonna’s new fragrance! I bet it smells so pretty, like Madonna!

    I loved Madonna’s look in 1990, when her music video for “Vogue,” came out. She had a look of sophistication that would be tough to top, even for her! She also continued to change up her hair styles, from long pony tail, to shorter tresses to shoulder length “old Hollywood style.”

    She had great dancers for her “Blonde Ambition Tour,” and when she released her much anticipated documentary, “Truth or Dare,” which took an honest inside and behind the scenes, into her world of touring, and how much easier it looks, than it really is!

    It makes me curious about how much of that time period Madonna truly cherished herself! I think a great deal, especially since she’s named her new perfume “Truth or Dare!”

  • Antoinette B said:

    My favorite Madonna style is 80′s Madonna,the Like a Virgin look.

  • Tanya said:

    I love the 80′s material girl. I was in middle school and grew up listening to Modonna. She was my favorite. I loved how she changed through the years to keep going. Very smart. In high school, I loved her vogue style.

  • Anne said:

    I likt thr Ray of Light Madonna.

  • Kari Judd said:

    I really LOVED her look in the 80′s ‘Like A Virgin!

  • Diane M said:

    I like Madonna’s current style best. I didn’t care for the thick eyebrows in the 80′s.

  • Marci said:

    I would love to try a sample of Madonna’s fragrance. I like her style now best. She seems to getting comfortable with her looks as she’s aging and she stays in such great shape, which is inspiring!

  • Barb H. said:

    I liked the 80′s Madonna style.

  • dawn demeglio said:

    love madonna so happy she came out with a perfume also

  • Lunachique said:

    defiantly her 80′s style !

  • Lydia said:

    Her original style in the 80s is still my favorite!

  • maysa blu midget said:

    Early Madonna! Desperatly Seeking Susan was life changing. i had this denim jacket that i sewing a pocket into, because Madonna had a little pocked in her jacket and kept a photo there. I love the lace, over-abundance of jewelry, dark eyeliner, lace gloves…and her dancing!! Lucky Star was so awesome :)

  • Valerie C. said:

    I loved the 1980′s Material Girl….a classic!!

  • Maria Haile said:

    I have always loved Madonna’s style through the years in her many incarnations! My favorite though, was her style in Evita. So elegant! I hope I win this delicious perfume!

  • Hannah B said:

    I would have to choose her Like a Virgin style. She always looks better in her more feminine incarnations.

  • marie said:

    I thought she was prettiest in her Like A Prayer video with the brunette curls.

  • Adella Gonzalez said:

    My favorite Madonnas style was the Vogue phase. I thought it was modern (for the time) and very sexy & sophisticated. The pants suit was hot in the Vogue video too!
    Madonna’s style may change with the times but her beauty is timeless.

  • Patti Sherman said:

    I think her Evita was her best. I like you on facebook

  • Amanda Sakovitz said:

    I love Madonna from the 80s! I love the sheer lace, big hair and big jewelry!

  • Annmarie W. said:

    I’ve liked so many versions of Madonna, but my favorite was probably when she was in her Marilyn Monroe ‘material girl’ phase…especially the Material Girl video! Although my favorite of her songs will always be ‘Crazy for You’! And her performance in Desperately Seeking Susan was great!

  • laura k said:

    I think Madonna looks most amazing now….she proves that aging can be a beautiful process…

  • Sheila W. said:

    I’m torn between her Into the Groove, Vogue, and her Ray of Light. So, when you get right down to it you have to respect her longevity, respect for her craft, and her ability to keep it fresh. I would love to win her perfume.

  • jules mcnubbin said:

    i liked her cowboy phase… :P

  • Genny W. said:

    She looked so naturally pretty during her Ray of Light period.

    her older years

  • Paula Caudill said:

    O My Goodness…would love to have this! Madonna is unique and a true fashion icon! My favorite would have to be the stunning “Vogue” ! Got my fingers crossed, just like all the others! :D Best of luck to everyone! Sent to my friends on Facebook & Tagged BeautyStat Thank you! Paula

  • Joshua Ryan said:

    I like the Vogue style of course…

    But the best, IMO was the 80′s (Boy George) phase. (even though I think Boy George was in a time period after her) I Just look at the style and Boy George and Pete Burns quickly come to mind! &&& what Gaga would have been back in the 80′s! Just free spirited and not afraid of Judgements… True artist, leader, and activist who stands up for self expression. (breaking the mold) Basically can be a fantastic singer but don’t need to fit in to be somebody!

    & you can still see the vintage Madonna when she does her dark side… She is like a chameleon, always changing and evolving to keep her audience entertained!

    Madonna will go down in history as the biggest diva of them all!

  • Hofken said:

    Liked and Shared on Facebook – Cynthia M Richardson

    I like the style she had from Evita.

  • Kristine said:

    I like the old Madonna, when she 1st became famous. I don’t necessarily like her style but I loved her music! Being born in 1978, I grew up with that music. I don’t really like Madonna’s music today and I don’t like her attitude either.

  • Kasia S. said:

    I would like t try the fragrance but I am not fan of Madonna…

  • Sue King said:

    Madonna’s style of chunky jewelry and leg-warmers were just perfect! Thanks for the opportunity.

  • greeneyezmpa said:

    I like the Ray of Light era where her look was wavy hair and natural looking makeup.

  • Patricia Mohl said:

    I like when she’s just hanging out with her kids in sweats like anyone else relaxing.

  • Donna Wymer said:

    I would love to try Madonna’s new fragrance and I think it’s neat she did this as a tribute to her mom. Madonna has reinvented herself through the years and to me she must be a smart business woman!

  • P.J. Madsen said:

    My favorite Madonna phase was the one where she used to wear all those black bracelets and girls wanted could get to wear them too! :) Thank you; and God bless ya’ll! :)

  • Sue Robbins said:

    I liked her when she first came out & her style was fresh & not so outlandish. She has reinvented herself so many times, but I still prefer her 80s pop sound.

  • Valerie Richards said:

    I love Madonna’s 80,s style…..she was so original and could care less what others
    thought. BUT I really love her now. She is refined yet still sexy.

  • Zabrina said:

    I like Madonna from the 80s because she didnt follow trends, she set them. She always had a nice bold red lip with every look. She could go from tomboyish to innocent teen to rock star. She pulled it off every time. I like her now because she proves to be ageless. Who doesn’t like Madonna?

  • cheryl alva said:

    I am stuck in the 80′s so I love her style back in the Material Girl, Like a Virgin days!! Love her style even now!!

  • Angela Barnes said:

    I shared on Facebook and Twitter.

  • Kelly said:

    Hard to pick a favorite, but I’ll go with the earlier years, definately, so “like a virgin”, because of the the white frilly clothes. She’s always been so creative, even though I don’t love all of her work, you have to give her tremendous credit for going out and building such an empire. It takes alot of bravery, and hard work, so for that, she is definately an icon.

  • Jill H. said:

    I love the “Like a Virgin” and “Material Girl” looks from the ’80s!!
