Parfums MDCI Rename the Scents
From my email inbox to your ears- Parfums MDCI have renamed their scents. FK1 is now called Promesse de l'Aube FK2 is Rose de Siwa FK3 is Enlévement au Sérail SB1 is Invasion Barbare PB1 is Ambre Topkapi Says Claude Marchal, the creator of Parfums MDCI: "The names are the product of my imagination, memories, a glass or two of good wine, and serendipity. Several evoke the Orient (Rose de Siwa for the magical oasis of the Egyptian desert, a childhood memory and a lovely word, Ambre Topkapi is reminiscent of the famous Turkish palace of same name and its fabulous riches, and "Enlèvement au Sérail" ( "Abduction in the Harem") is both evocative of the Orient and of the Mozart's opera and its intrigues. The scents are available at Parfumsmdci.free.fr and can be pre-ordered at Luckyscent. |

Brilliant names, though I'm uncertain of the barbare... Back to savagery again, eh?
And I can testify to the magical beauty of the Siwa oasis - truly A for astounding.
Leopoldo,
Yes, the savage imagery seems to be very much in fashion, doesn't it? :-)
Am so glad these have names now! My favorites were Enlevement au Serail and Rose de Siwa, but I like the name Invasion Barbare so much that I am now going to go back and resniff it and try to fall in love w/ it - the power of a great name.
L,
I can't believe you didn't love SB1-Barbare!
How does one pronounce Enlevement? :-)
on-lev-mon with the special frenchie nasalisation of the last syllable.
Actually, that's a good guide to French. If in doubt, use your nose.
Leopoldo,
Haha, thank you! Good advice!
Well, I think those are lovely. I always prefer perfume names in French. (Maybe 'cause I have a big nose.)
A,
So do I. (And so have I) :-)
Oh yes, the names. That was the reason I bougt "Le baiser du dragon" from Cartier - "The kiss of the dragon". I found it so fascinating - and still find it fascinating, but don't like the scent ...
And I came to Dzonghka via its name too - but I learned to love the scent very quickly.
Lady Jane,
As a "dragon" (horoscope thing), I want to love the cartier's creation so much...but it was unwearable for me. Just...ugh *shudder* :-)
You won't believe it : I'm a "dragon" too - and the Cartier is completely antagonistic with me, unfortunately ...
High five, fellow dragon! Are you by any chance a leo too? :-)
