Overly candied cinnamon.
It is a sticky cinnamon blend with kind of cloying sweetness. It has sticky vanilla, overly sweet sticky syrup, cinnamon, oranges, bits of almonds. I can’t detect cloves, benzoin, or incense cause the cloying syrups are ruining the blend quite big!
I can’t say it’s awful cause i remember in nov 2017 i had it on plotter and when i visited it again (after 3 hours) it was mellowed and quite beautiful with a very balanced sweetness, and mild spices. The question is, does it worth waiting 3 hours to reach that balanced smell!
Everytime i am trying to purchase a full bottle of MDCI (Peche Cardinal, or Cuir Garamnte) i just step back after applying them on my skin and doubt my choice to having a full bottle and i believe it’s because of 2 main things:
1+ When first applied, it goes quite impressive and charming for a certain time. After around 20 minutes, it stays quite powerful and it does slightly change a bit within it’s frame and become kind of boring yet powerful & suffocating.
2+ It doesn’t worth a 100 ml bottle, if it were 30 ml i would definitely go for one.
After all it’s a nice brand, but there is something wrong is happening in their line! they will be quite smart if they start producing 30 or 50 ml of their fragrances.

Based on the previous reviews, this one seems to be polarizing. I will start by saying that I understand the negative responses; it is entirely true that this starts out smelling alarmingly like a Christmas candle. The sour fruit, sweet notes, and spices initially combine to create this odd impression, BUT once the sour fruity top notes wear off, Indes Galantes turns into a comforting spiced vanilla that smells a lot less like walking by Bath & Body Works in December and a lot more like a proper oriental fragrance. In fact, once it dries down, it is quite addictive; the powdery and resinous facets become a perfect counterpoint to the sweet spiciness, making Indes Galantes feel so ever so cuddly…and quite a bit more perfume-y than it initially appears. I definitely see myself snuggling up with a cozy blanket and good book in front of a fireplace in a sweet soft cloud of this powdery loveliness.
That said, while I will happily finish my sample, I don’t see the need for a full bottle. It does perform reasonably well, lasting a full day of wear (and a shower!) with soft to moderate projection, but I have plenty of less costly cuddle fumes…but this one is hard to beat in terms of projecting QUALITY

It’s pleasant but at the same time very foody-cakey vanilla for me, like Atelier des Ors Lune Feline. It’s like you’re in a pastry shop.

Carnation and clove dominate. Warm and multifaceted, quality perfume.

Thanks to a generous perfume fairy, I now have a decant of this and it is perfect . Just a beautiful, perfect spice perfume. To those whom it didn’t work for, feel free to send it my way, haaaa!

Yeah, initially, it smells like a Christmas scent, but that part doesn’t last long. It eventually morphs into a Shalimar-like oriental before settling down to a saof and spicy vanilla base. I love MDCI. They use quality ingredients, and it shows in every MDCI scent I’ve tried.

On the plotter, it’s just like a Christmas scent! cinnamon, cloves, Some almonds and the vanilla WAS conquering in the top note, and it is SLIGHTLY sliding to Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille.

Oh my… I didn’t read the review by Arabian Knight before trying this perfume, but he/she is spot on with the Yankee Candle/yuletide spices comparison. Les Indes Galantes (The Amorous Indies) smells EXACTLY like all that. I can’t imagine even Santa’s helpers would want to smell like this! Just wow.

A syrupy mush of Yankee candle vanilla, cinnamon chewing gum and garish yuletide spices. Tacky, cloying and charmless, less perfume than a Christmas tree fragrance oil.
I’m surprised that MDCI would produce something like this. It’s obnoxious.
