16. Poetry in Bloom 4 | Airy, Uplifting & Spacious Scents this Spring
As the days grow warmer, I’ve found myself gravitating toward fragrances that bring a sense of lightness—scents that feel spacious, fresh, and quietly radiant. When the world feels heavy, these compositions offer a gentle lift: fruit-forward, citrus-kissed, or simply airy with soft florals and subtle sweetness.
These five perfume gems capture that feeling beautifully, each offering a different weight and texture—from silk-wrapped gourmand to dewy floral, golden citrus, grounded gourmand, and luminous skin scent.
I hope one of them brings you a sense of clarity, comfort, or joyful renewal.
🫐 Soie Malaquais — Silk, Blackcurrant, Cocoa & Chestnut
Some fragrances speak in textures—and Soie Malaquais speaks in silk. Crafted by Dries Van Noten and perfumer Marie Salamagne, this decadent floral gourmand opens with sparkling blackcurrant jam and a velvety rose heart. Chestnut and cocoa add a rich, gourmand warmth. It’s lush, warm, and quietly magnetic—sweetness with soul and sophistication.

Peony and Ottoman rose bloom softly at its heart, while tea, palo santo, and delicate musk create a serene, grounding base. Its texture is natural and light—like morning dew on petals.
