If you venture down the rabbit hole that is MDCI, let me influence you to get a Silk Road bottle from the brand, like my bottle of Chypre Palatin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I spent the week smelling and think about the samples I got with this bottle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rose de Siwa – a rose perfume made by Francis Kurdjian. Fresh and cold, this one would be a great summer rose because it smells so clean. It’s hard to do a rose that really wows, and this one didn’t give me anything I didn’t already get from the other rose perfumes in my collection. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fetes Persanes – loads of spices and then a warm vanilla. Fetes Persanes came well recommended, but there’s a bitterness in here that my nose couldn’t handle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Invasion Barbare – a fougere that’s delicately spiced but stays fresh and clean. Cardamom and ginger spice the lavender opening but don’t add any head, they just add to the freshness in the scent. This went on my wish list because of how easy it is to wear. It’s how I want to smell all summer long. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
