Parfums MDCI Fêtes Persanes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Cécile Zarokian. Fêtes Persanes opens with Bergamot and Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Vanilla. Parfums MDCI's Fêtes Persanes carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, spicy oriental that many find a more refined, less animalic alternative to Musc Ravageur, if a bit pricey for the performance. This one might just whisk you away to an opulent Persian spice bazaar.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its long-lasting nature makes it suitable for evenings out, and its sophisticated spicy profile is well-suited for dates or formal events. While not overtly casual, its comforting warmth works for lounging at home, but its presence might be too much for an office or sport.

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.

About

Fêtes Persanes opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot and black pepper, swiftly transitioning to a heart of warm, exotic spices. Cardamom, cinnamon, clove, and a delicate rose weave a complex, inviting tapestry. The dry-down settles into a smooth, buttery vanilla embraced by earthy patchouli and woody notes of cedar and guaiac wood, creating a rich and elegant oriental experience.
