Our verdict on Soie Malaquais: Favourite

This one is a divisive delight, drawing adoration for its unique, silken charm, yet some can't get past what they see as a synthetic, shampoo-like quality or steep price. If you want a smooth, fruity-nutty rose with an elusive 'silk' accord, and don't mind a softer projection, this could be your next obsession.

About

Imagine a velvet curtain opening on a bowl of rich, ripe blackcurrants, given a zesty lift by bergamot. This gives way to a smooth, almost liquid rose, wrapped in an indescribable 'silk' accord that’s more about texture than scent. The base settles into a comforting, warm embrace of roasted chestnut and dark, unsweetened cacao, conjuring an elegant, earthy sweetness that feels both botanical and utterly delectable.
