Parfums MDCI Peche Cardinal is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Amandine Clerc-Marie. Peche Cardinal opens with Peach, Blackcurrant, Blackberry, and Coconut, settles into a heart of Tuberose, Lily, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Parfums MDCI's Peche Cardinal carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A truly divisive modern classic: Peche Cardinal swings from glorious, juicy peach to synthetic bubblegum depending on who you ask (and to be fair, what kind of peach you are expecting). If you're after a luxurious, clean fruity floral, it might just be your new obsession. If not, best steer clear. The price point is another point of contention, so sample first.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

While some find Peche Cardinal to have moderate projection, others note its "huge sillage" and "maddeningly powerful" longevity. It's a bit much for a formal office setting, but the elegant, creamy fruity-floral profile makes it ideal for dates and special occasions.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Dive into a plush, sweet swirl of peach and succulent blackcurrant, edged with the exotic creaminess of coconut. As the fruit mellows, a rich bouquet of heady lily and narcotic tuberose emerges, softened by the delicate sweetness of plum. The dry down settles into a warm, inviting embrace of musks, grounding sandalwood, and a whisper of cedar, leaving a lasting trail of sophisticated sweetness.
