Details

As in the novel of the same name by Julien Gracq, this fragrance deals with the tension between fate and chance, nearness and distance, an uncertain future and the legacy of a glorious past - all against the dreamlike backdrop of the North African coast.

Scent Description

The fragrance begins fresh with pineapple and orange notes, while the radiance of tuberose is framed by orange blossom and ylang-ylang. Frankincense darkens the composition slightly, while ambergris, vanilla, and musk in the base hold everything together - like a metaphor for human existence, sometimes tumbling between extremes, sometimes resting firmly within itself, seeking its place in an unpredictable universe.

Tropical Paradox: The Two Faces of Le Rivage des Syrtes
Le Rivage des Syrtes by MDCI emerges as a polarizing creation in the niche fragrance community, sparking both delight and debate. This fruity-floral composition opens with an exuberant burst of pineapple and orange, creating an immediately cheerful impression that some find uplifting while others consider overwhelming. The fragrance's performance varies dramatically with individual skin chemistry - while some experience a creamy, opulent miracle of tropical fruits and flowers, others encounter a sharp, metallic edge that diminishes its appeal. Despite its controversial nature, the high quality of ingredients is universally acknowledged, though opinions differ on whether this justifies its luxury pricing. Best suited for those seeking a sophisticated yet playful feminine scent with prominent citrus and tropical fruit notes.
