Rose de Siwa, from MDCI Parfums was released in 2006. The perfumer behind this creation is Francis Kurkdjian. It has the top notes of Hawthorn, Lychee, and Peony, middle notes of Rose and Violet, and base notes of Cedarwood, Musk, and Vetiver.
Rose de Siwa somewhat flies under the radar amongst the other MDCI fragrances, as do many of their feminine releases. I think it’s lovely though, I’m not usually the biggest fan of most rose-centric perfumes, but this one is lovely. I think because the rose never becomes to dense or jammy. The rose here is very light and airy, almost like smelling a rose flower in the air, with just a touch of sweet rose-water. Fantasy notes of pink peony and juicy-sweet litchi perpetuate this light airiness whilst also adding a delicate fruity aspect, with just a touch of powdery violet in the background. I think this is lovely, undeniably chic and feminine without doing too much all at once. Everything balances each other perfectly, which results in an incredibly refined scent. I’m tempted to get a bottle of this, we shall see.
