Le Rivage des Syrtes by MDCI Parfums was launched in 2009 and created by Patricia de Nicolai. The composition opens with a vibrant blend of orange and pineapple, giving way to the lush green notes of galbanum and the delicate African orange flower. At its heart, ylang-ylang and tuberose add an opulent floral richness, while incense lends a subtle depth. The base notes of vanilla, amber, and musk create a warm and enveloping finish that lingers on the skin.
This fragrance is Patricia de Nicolai's ode to the Mediterranean coast, where sun-ripened fruits mingle with lush greens and rich florals. It captures the essence of an aromatic journey through a fragrant landscape, balancing sweetness and freshness in perfect harmony.

Application Tips
Apply two to three sprays for the best effect — the citrus and fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. The floral heart and warm base notes will develop over time, so give it an hour before reassessing its presence on your skin.
