Parfums MDCI LA SURPRISE Eau de Parfum

An ode to the unexpected – masterfully composed by Cécile Zarokian

LA SURPRISE by Parfums MDCI is more than just a fragrance. It is a whispered moment of delight, a fleeting kiss of innocence, and a declaration of olfactory surprise. Crafted by the brilliant French perfumer Cécile Zarokian, known for her emotionally charged and elegantly layered compositions, this luxurious niche perfume invites you into a delicate world where vintage charm and modern femininity meet in graceful harmony. Inspired by the Rococo painting La Poursuite, part of the celebrated Progrès de l’Amour series once owned by Madame du Barry, the fragrance captures the tender thrill of being caught off guard by love.

A peach-kissed bouquet wrapped in powdered mystery

The first impression is a shimmering, juicy peach – lush and golden, full of sunshine and promise. Soon, a veil of white blossoms rises: sweet, nectarous, slightly creamy and airy, impossible to pin down yet instantly beguiling. The heart reveals hints of fruity rose, subtle and joyful, while cardamom lends a green, slightly spicy depth that anchors the airy floral notes. A soft, sensual musk carries the composition forward, deepening the powdery texture without ever weighing it down. Finally, precious woods offer elegant contrast – grounding the fragrance like the carved frame around a Rococo painting. LA SURPRISE is a scent of balance, lightness and surprise – never predictable, always refined.

When Rococo elegance meets modern perfume poetry

LA SURPRISE is a feminine fragrance with a powdery soul, echoing the romantic elegance of 18th-century France while remaining strikingly contemporary. Zarokian’s interpretation of surprise is not loud or theatrical, but delicate and nuanced – a scent of intimacy and whispered affection. Just like in the painting that inspired it, where a young man offers a rose to a startled girl by the fountain, this perfume captures that suspended moment between approach and retreat, anticipation and surrender. Overhead, cherubs hold a dolphin – an ancient symbol of love – while sunlight falls on silk ribbons in motion. This visual poetry finds its olfactory counterpart in LA SURPRISE.

Now is the time to experience this artful fragrance from Parfums MDCI at scent amor – and let yourself be carried away by a scent that celebrates emotion, artistry, and the beauty of the unexpected.
