A sunny day in a bottle, Vepres Siciliennes by MDCI makes us so happy! A sheer, fruity chypre, the fruity sweetness tempered by the woods and oakmoss.
Vepres Siciliennes, inspired the Verdi’s opera with the same name, an ode to a warm late afternoon on a summer day in Italy just before the sun sets. You can actually smell the intense warmth of the midday sun, the flowers, ripe fruit and trees as the first shadows appear on the land.
Vepres Siciliennes is a multi-facetted fragrance. It opens fresh with citrus notes, and quickly develops into a rich bouquet of soft white flowers with a powdery dry-down with vanilla and peach notes.

Chypre
A classic chypre is characterized by top notes of citrus, often bergamot; a full-floral heart, like jasmine and rose; and mossy, woody notes in the base, such as patchouli, oak moss, and labdanum. For those who appreciate fragranced complexity and layered compositions, chypres are very exciting and worthwhile to explore!
