Rose de Siwa
by MDCI Parfums
Rose de Siwa is a delicate, youthful rose fragrance with a fresh, litchi-tinged opening that evokes a translucent, airy bouquet of peony and violet. Its core is a clean, powdery rose, softened by green nuances and subtle herbal notes, supported by a quiet, earthy base of vetiver and Virginia cedar. The overall effect is elegant, feminine, and somewhat restrained—like a refined boudoir rose with a hint of woody warmth and musk. It lacks a strong sillage and longevity, fading quickly into a skin-scent level after about two hours, which suits daytime wear but not longer occasions. It may appeal to those seeking a soft, unobtrusive rose perfumed with a touch of floral sweetness and green freshness, though some perceive its drydown as slightly soapy or underdeveloped compared to richer rose-centric scents.
