The story behind the bottle.
Nuit Andalouse by MDCI Parfums, created by Cécile Zarokian and launched in 2013, is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of an enchanting night in Southern Spain. The opening notes of orange and green notes create a fresh, vibrant atmosphere, while violet adds a subtle sweetness. As it develops, gardenia and ylang-ylang introduce a rich bouquet of white florals, balanced by the warmth of sandalwood and vanilla, which evoke the intimate embrace of an Andalusian night.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points, as it develops slowly over time. The powdery base notes will continue to unfold for hours, making it ideal for an evening out or a romantic dinner. Avoid layering with other scents to let its nuanced character shine through.
