The story behind the bottle.
Jeanne-Marie Faugier launched Vepres Siciliennes in 2009 as a chypre fruity fragrance for MDCI Parfums. The composition opens with vibrant citrus and green notes, giving way to a heart of magnolia, lily-of-the-valley, and ylang-ylang that reads as both fresh and floral. The base is anchored by powdery woods, vanilla, and musk, creating a warm and enveloping finish. This fragrance captures the essence of Sicilian evenings, where the air is filled with the scent of ripe fruits and delicate florals.
Apply Vepres Siciliennes directly to your pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The citrus top notes are bright but short-lived, so it's best to layer with the powdery base notes that develop over time.
