Soie Malaquais (2026 Limited Edition)
Description
The story behind this fragrance
Bergamot and black currant burst open with tart brightness, a cool snap that settles almost immediately into rose and an unexpected silken texture—less floral weight, more the cool, almost powdery sensation of draped fabric against skin. Soie Malaquais develops into something creamy and roasted as chestnut and cacao emerge from the base, their warmth tempering the rose's edges. The drydown balances cocoa's gentle bitterness with a whisper of nuttiness, the initial sharpness now only a memory beneath layers of soft chocolate and toasted grain.
