Parfums MDCI VÊPRES SICILIENNES Eau de Parfum

An evening in Sicily – captured in scent

VÊPRES SICILIENNES by Parfums MDCI is a fragrance rich in nuance and contrast – a perfumed ode to that golden hour when the Sicilian sun begins to soften, and the air carries the promise of night. Composed by Jeanne-Marie Faugiers, this creation is more than a perfume: it is a journey through citrus groves, florals, and gourmand indulgence, all wrapped in Mediterranean warmth and poetic depth.

Sunlit citrus, peppered breeze

The scent opens with a sparkling cascade of hesperidic notes – juicy bergamot, lemon, and mandarin dance with crisp green touches. As if kissed by the sea wind, this brightness is seasoned with cardamom and pepper, adding spice and intrigue to the radiant start. It’s lively, vivid, and filled with the rhythm of southern Italian life.

A floral heart with textured elegance

As the sun begins to dip, VÊPRES SICILIENNES reveals its heart – a floral-woody accord where jasmine, heliotrope, and cedarwood blend into a soft, glowing warmth. Amber anchors the floral lightness, giving it depth and a sense of calm. This is the moment when day and night meet in harmony – fleeting, golden, unforgettable.

Creamy dusk and a gourmand sigh

In the dry-down, gourmand notes take center stage: vanilla, buttery toffee, and musk melt into the skin like the last warmth of the sun on stone. There’s a delightful twist—osmanthus, peach, raspberry, plum, and a delicate touch of coconut – creating a soft, fruity-gourmand finish that lingers like sweet memory.

VÊPRES SICILIENNES is not linear – it’s a choreography of scent that unfolds over time, revealing new dimensions with each hour. A balance of light and shadow, freshness and indulgence, floral clarity and gourmand softness. Ideal for those who seek complexity, evolution, and refined sensuality in their fragrance.
