Parfums MDCI Rose de Siwa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Rose de Siwa opens with Hawthorn, Peony, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Rose and Violet, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, and Vetiver. Parfums MDCI's Rose de Siwa carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A truly divisive rose; some hail it as a beautifully elegant and youthful floral, others find it fleeting, dated, or even brutally animalic. Sample first to see if you get the magic or the tragedy.

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:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and clean, delicate profile make it suitable for office wear, as many reviews suggest it's inoffensive. However, its perceived poor longevity by many means it's less ideal for longer formal events or dates where projection is desired, and certainly not for 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.

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

Rose de Siwa opens with a bright, dewy burst of hawthorn, peony, and litchi, giving a fresh, slightly tart, and luminous sweetness. The heart unfurls into a clean, watery rose, gracefully accompanied by powdery violet, creating a sophisticated floral core. It settles into a soft, woody musk base, with subtle hints of Virginia cedarwood and vetiver adding depth and an almost 'high-end cosmetic soap' cleanness.
