MDCI Parfums Nuit Andalouse: A Floral Dream of Spain
Discover the opulent, powdery allure of this Cécile Zarokian masterpiece.

In this review
In the world of niche perfumery, few houses command the respect and artistic prestige of MDCI Parfums. Their commitment to the 'art of the bottle' is legendary, but it is the juice inside that truly captures the imagination. Enter Nuit Andalouse, a 2013 creation by the brilliant Cécile Zarokian that serves as a fragrant love letter to the sultry, velvet nights of Southern Spain.
Nuit Andalouse is not merely a perfume; it is a sensory journey. It captures the essence of a garden in bloom under the moonlight, balancing the freshness of green notes with the deep, intoxicating weight of white florals. For the collector who values elegance, history, and a touch of the exotic, this fragrance stands as a pillar of the MDCI collection.
