Rose de Siwa MDCI Parfums for women

Between this, chloe and indult, this is the clear winner. I got a VERY large sample pack from this line, and I kept this one in a spray decant. It is very potent and sweet (much more than the others with similar notes), smelling like a beautiful perfume based off of guerlain body products. The litchi and rose- with a hint of violet is gorgeous with great projection. It is very long lasting and likable, albeit expensive. I dont think it will be a FB for me, but I still have a large, full sample. If the price is too high, I would suggest a sample of Chloe EDP, which also has the lichi/rose. This is my favorite rose by a long shot, next being lady v- which is completely different. I dont love this combination of notes enough to own all 3, and the large sample will last me forever. I find it sweet and wearable.

The notes look amazing! I would love to try this one.

mr turin should give at least 8 stars for that - mr kurkgjian: bravo! that is it

each woman should spray it at least one time -

a rose is a ros - i find it animalic almost civet animalic warm amine notes - am i right here! this somehow makes it outstynding

comments pls ladies

hyperintense and lasting babies...

the different world is our world - mes sniffing women

Slightly plasticy at first application. Quickly faded down into a softer powdery type rose fragrance with just a tinge of green. Drydown brought a bit of spice with musk with the rose balanced out by the other floral notes which seemed to move a bit more forward. I don't find the rose heavy handed - it's there but not obnoxious. Might be a good choice for someone who doesn't want a rose intensive fragrance. Not overly long lasting.

Thanks to the web sources dedicated to scents, that I read daily with keen interest, and to the opening of a high end perfume shop in my city, I learned about MDCI (read "Medici") Parfums, sampled some of their products and entered into the rare perfumes world.
For a different world it is. Rose de Siwa is made of a dosen types of roses, as the boutique staff told me, and it is not built in the pyramidal scent structure, but in one which revolves around itself to return to the opening.
For me the difference between MDCI and popular perfumes is like that between honey and sugar, white sugar. Honey is natural, yet extremely sweet, with a multitude of blends and subtle aromas, while sugar bursts with un unhealthy strong sweetness which is monotone and disappointing in the aftermath.
Rose de Siwa lasted all day long on my wrist, it didn't fade, but in the same time it was strong without being agressive, as it mixed in a secret way with my epiderm. The scent itself is rose, dark red rose, growing in a baroque residence among heavy curtains and precious furnitures. A bitter and old fashioned rose.
