{"title":"Parfums MDCI","description":"Parfums MDCI is a small and chic French brand that was built on the philosophy that fine fragrances are an art more than an industry, and should be a source of pleasure, pride and beauty more than a simple commodity. Born out of the admiration for the period of Renaissance, with the desire to create contemporary equivalents of the precious objects once owned by the Medicis and the Sun King and now kept in the Louvre, Musei dei Uffizzi, and the Treasure Room in Vienna. Available in two presentations— elegant glass spray bottleswith unique portrait busts or as traditional atomizers adorned with tassle. The same bottles also come as interchangeable refills, adding practicability to beauty: the sculpted bust can be kept, and bottles can be changed at will. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \nThe fragrances are as exquisite as the bottles that house them, with creations by such renowned perfumers as Pierre Bourdon, Francis Kurkdjian, and Stéphanie Bakouche. Following its philosophy of perfume being an art, MDCI has given the perfumers absolute freedom and no cost limit. The only requirement was not to try to please the greatest possible number, not to imitate or follow trends.","products":[{"product_id":"laimee-by-parfums-mdci","title":"L'Aimee","description":"\u003cp\u003eL'Aimée, or \"The Beloved,\" is a famous 1794 oil portrait from French master Jacques-Louis David depicting his sister-in-law Madam Sérizat. Painted shortly after his release from Robespierre's prisons following the French Revolution, this masterwork is renowned for its effortless depiction of the subject's humanity, portraying Madam Sérizat holding a bouquet in one hand and her child's hand in the other. Its use of soft, warm color, as well as subtle touches of exquisite detail on the subject's hands and face, work together to evoke emotional depth and authenticity that transcend mere photorealism- beneath the surface, this painting truly breathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat a delight, therefore, that Parfums MDCI has taken its subject to heart, delivering a fragrance that also glows with abundant humanity and warmth. Despite a complex notes list of citrus, fine florals, and rich woods, resins, and musks, L'Aimée turns out to be a fragrance of exquisitely blended softness and light. In a sense, it feels classical in its romantic depth, but it surprisingly carries none of the room-filling ostentatiousness one might expect from the notes- there are no sharp edges, no operatic swells and transitions- instead, it's the lush romance of a perfectly tuned chamber orchestra. Florals and woods all float on a cloud of pillow-soft musk and vanilla, aglow with the natural light of sweet fruit and the gentlest touch of castoreum. The result is a fragrance for romantics of all ages, youthful enough for a princess, elegant enough for a queen. Though for Monsieur David's sake, we should point out one needn't support the monarchy to enjoy it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parfums MDCI","offers":[{"title":"75ml","offer_id":46721607598401,"sku":"36527","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1ml spray","offer_id":50658733785409,"sku":"36527_S","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/36527.jpg?v=1754968365"},{"product_id":"cuir-cavalier-by-parfums-mdci","title":"Cuir Cavalier","description":"\u003cp\u003eGericault's Charging Chasseur, his first exhibited work, already demonstrated the artist's impressive talent for subverting the tropes of convention (in this case the heroic portrait of a Napoleonic cavalryman) in the service of creating a more complex, challenging narrative.

In the base, vanilla and amber ornament the scent beautifully, bringing to it a wonderfully exotic feel, making it evocative of faraway lands, luxurious palaces, and Eastern splendor. This unexpected exoticism is where the traditional meets modern. This ambery-vanillic warmth is also what should make Ambre Topkapi wearable for women as well as for men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parfums MDCI","offers":[{"title":"75ml","offer_id":46721630175553,"sku":"36503","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.7ml","offer_id":46721630273857,"sku":"36503_S","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/36503.jpg?v=1695108529"},{"product_id":"la-ravissante-by-parfums-mdci","title":"La Ravissante","description":"La Ravissante is inspired by the lovely portrait of Mrs. Récamier, painted in 1805 by François Gérard, one of the most iconic treasures of the Musée Carnavalet in Paris.","brand":"Parfums MDCI","offers":[{"title":"75ml","offer_id":46721631256897,"sku":"365027","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.7ml","offer_id":50658799812929,"sku":"365027_S","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/365027.jpg?v=1754967192"},{"product_id":"lelegant-by-parfums-mdci","title":"L'Elegant","description":"Inspired by the elegantly striking Jacques-Louis David portrait of Pierre Sériziat, a wealthy 18th-century Frenchman (you might recognize his wife and daughter from the portrait that adorns MDCI's L'Aimée), L'Elégant is a complex and captivating masculine that blends spice, sweetness, and seductive potency into a compellingly timeless elixir. As would befit the immaculate garb of the noted man of leisure, L'Elégant clothes you in perfectly matched layers, opening with a bright tendril of clean incense smoke given luxurious depth with sweet saffron, fiery black pepper, and savory cardamom. The rich iris heart exudes graceful authority, dipped in smooth honey and dashed with nutmeg and cumin, all contrasted against a lively green burst of davana that nods to Mr. Sériziat's outdoor setting and the riding crop tucked under his arm. And in the potent yet understated drydown, a warm and sophisticated base of tonka, myrrh, and dark woods match gentlemanly grace with sensual power. An irresistable scent for any man of taste and refinement, L'Elégant is not only the final scent in MDCI's Painters and Perfumers collection, but also the finest.","brand":"Parfums MDCI","offers":[{"title":"75ml","offer_id":46721632076097,"sku":"365026","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.7ml","offer_id":50658763899201,"sku":"365026_S","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/365026.jpg?v=1754967914"},{"product_id":"enlevement-au-serail-by-parfums-mdci","title":"Enlevement au Serail","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is hard to chose a favorite among the beautiful MDCI perfumes, but if we were forced to do so, Enlévement au Sérail, this \u003ci\u003e“parure pour le soir”\u003c\/i\u003e (ornament for the evening), would be our choice. This is a floral scent unlike any other, piquant with spices, warm with woods, possessing the dark, hypnotic depth of patchouli. Jasmine is the star of the blend; it is fresh and gently-spicy in the beginning and opulent and sensual at the middle stage, where it is accompanied by creamy tuberose and ylang-ylang. We adore the way it is rendered in the base notes, where its bright beauty is contrasted with the nocturnal, earthy notes of patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood. With its luxurious notes and warm depth, the scent seems to be paying homage to the luscious perfumes of the past, with their enthralling trails, their elegant exoticism and spellbinding sensuality. We predict that this rich, harmonious fragrance is destined to become a modern classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2023 Re-launch due to popular demand!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parfums MDCI","offers":[{"title":"75ml","offer_id":50657879851329,"sku":"36502","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.7ml","offer_id":50657879884097,"sku":"36502_S","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/36502.jpg?v=1754941789"},{"product_id":"promesse-de-laube-by-parfums-mdci","title":"Promesse de l'Aube","description":"Francis  Kurkdjian's first creation for MDCI, Promesse de l'Aube is a scent \u003ci\u003efor the morning\u003c\/i\u003e, “a classical and refined amber-floral”. Its top notes of mandarin and lemon are fresh, and have a joyful, flirty, sun-kissed feel. The citruses have a candied quality, which teasingly hints at the delicious sweetness, but never steps into the realm of the gourmand. The heart of the composition is a luxurious, creamy bouquet of ylang-ylang and jasmine. It is languid, summery, warmed by the tropical sun. The base features a gorgeous blend of velvety sandalwood sweetened and softened by vanilla.
