Powdery flower
On my skin, it is a very powdery, floral fragrance. Unfortunately, I don't notice any of the tea note or the fruity notes.

Details on Parfums MDCI Cio Cio San
Cio Cio San by Parfums MDCI is a delicate and refined fragrance inspired by Puccini's Madama Butterfly opera. Created by Cécile Zarokian in 2015, this elegant composition opens with bright citrus notes and ginger, evolving into a heart of cherry blossoms, peony, and oolong tea, before settling into a soft base of woods and musk.
How does Parfums MDCI Cio Cio San smell?
A delicate blend of citrus and ginger opens the fragrance, leading to a feminine heart of cherry blossoms and peony, enriched with exotic lychee and oolong tea. The base notes combine soft musk with cedar and gaiac wood, creating a silky, refined oriental-floral composition.

Well-crafted, but not my scent
A high-quality artisanal fragrance that leaves me feeling conflicted, however. Directly on the skin, the opening with yuzu and ginger is very authentic, fresh, and zesty. In the sillage, however, a disturbing, almost synthetic veil develops for me, which I associate with a 'squeaky' cherry, likely the interplay of cherry blossom and lychee. CIO CIO SAN definitely smells of quality, but this specific, artificial-seeming fruit freshness is simply not my thing.
