Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Soie Rouge is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1988, created by Jean-François Laporte. Soie Rouge opens with Pineapple and Dried Fruits, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Heliotrope, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Maître Parfumeur et Gantier's Soie Rouge carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This retro floral is divisive: some find it a gorgeous, spicy carnation with vintage charm, others are put off by a peculiar fruit-musk opening. Expect a grown-up, opulent scent that’s definitely not for everyone.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Soie Rouge opens with an unexpected, slightly sharp burst of pineapple and dried fruits, quickly joined by the star-of-the-show carnation. This spicy, peppery floral note is softened by powdery iris and heliotrope, with a hint of apricot adding a delicate sweetness. The dry-down settles into a classic base of warm amber, creamy sandalwood, and clean musk, maintaining a sophisticated, slightly soapy character throughout.
