Parfums MDCI Fragrances

Parfums MDCI is an independent French perfume house founded by Claude Marchal and known for classically structured fragrances, established perfumer collaborations, and decorative presentation. Selected editions are topped with sculpted busts inspired by European art and history, while simpler bottles keep the focus on the perfume. Invasion Barbare combines citrus, lavender, cardamom, ginger, patchouli, vanilla, and musk in a refined aromatic fougère. Péché Cardinal takes a fruitier floral direction through peach, blackcurrant, tuberose, coconut, sandalwood, and musk, while Chypre Palatin and Cuir Garamante explore moss, resins, leather, spices, florals, woods, and amber. Parfums MDCI suits collectors who enjoy formal but distinctive French niche perfumery and traditional fragrance families.
