Perfume-MDCI Parfums-Peche Cardinal


Peche Cardinal by MDCI Parfums is a rather nicely done peachy floral scent. The beginning is like a blast of peachy tuberose, just when I thought the tuberose might be a bit too dominant, the scent starts to behave within seconds. It smells of real juice peach, but not in the zest, fresh, mouth watering fruity way, instead, it smells of more candied peach, in a peach-flavoured drink way. The tuberose is present, but it is definitely a background rather than the main character here.

As the scent settles down a bit more, the candied factor of the peach gets more dominant and the background tuberose gets a little bit creamier and warmer in a more gourmand way.
Then Peche Cardinal develops rather linearly towards the dry down.

To me, MDCI's Peche Cardinal is a grown-up version of sweet floral fruity peach scent. If the nowadays watery synthetic fruity “young bubbly” peach perfumes can be represented by music, it will be those no-brainer lyrics of the pop songs you hear after say 2000, then Peche Cardinal is like the lyrics written by someone from the 50s or 60s, which has more depth and some rather poetic turns.

Again, my dislike towards tuberose prevents me from love Peche Cardinal by MCDI, however, I’d highly recommend this to someone who’s looking for a more elegant peach scent for the modern day.
