Parfums MDCI L’Aimée is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. L’Aimée opens with Blackcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Iris, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Amyris, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Parfums MDCI's L’Aimée carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

L'Aimée is a divisive 'classic French floral' that's either a timeless, elegant masterpiece or an unremarkable, overly mature soap bomb. If you're into that vintage powdery vibe, you'll love it; otherwise, it might just smell 'old' to you.

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.

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.

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

Opens with a bright, zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, softened by the subtle greenness of blackcurrant leaf. It swiftly transitions into a grand floral heart, a harmonious blend where creamy orange blossom and delicate rose intertwine with powdery iris and the sweet warmth of heliotrope. The drydown settles into a rich, complex base of soft woods like cedar and sandalwood, cushioned by creamy vanilla, tonka, and a touch of ambery warmth, underscored by a very subtle animalic depth and hints of ripe peach and raspberry.
