🫐 5. A Scented Letter: Soie Malaquais – A Rose Perfume with Blackcurrant, Cocoa & Chestnut

Crafted by Dries Van Noten and perfumer Marie Salamagne, Soie Malaquais is a decadent floral gourmand that opens with sparkling blackcurrant jam and a velvety rose heart that flow into a rich base where chestnut and cocoa add a warm, gourmand touch. It’s sensual and indulgent, but never loud—sweetness with soul and sophistication.

The texture? Imagine silk infused with rose, dusted in cocoa and chestnut. It’s lush, warm, addictive, and quietly magnetic. Soie Malaquais is a scent for introspective evenings and artistic moods—for when you want to feel both grounded and adorned.

🫐 The Experience of Soie Malaquais

You sit by the window after a long day.
The light is low. The world begins to quiet.
Birdsong lingers in the air.
There’s a soft opening within—a moment of rest.

Try this:

Spray or dab behind your ears or on your wrists.
Wrap yourself in something soft.
Light a candle.
Let the sweetness linger—like rose jam and kindness, resting on silk.

What sets the Dries Van Noten fragrance line apart is its generous use of natural ingredients. The original bottle is a work of art—a porcelain vessel so distinctive it feels sculptural in the hand. Its secondary packaging is equally thoughtful, created using renewable and biodegradable wood fibers from responsibly managed forests.
