Souffle De Soie

Souffle de Soie is a refined, feminine floral with a delicate balance of white flowers, powdery musk, and soft earthiness. It opens with a bright citrus bergamot before settling into a creamy bouquet of tuberose, jasmine, rose, and violet. The scent evolves into a smooth, buttery floral with a subtle warm base of patchouli, vanilla, cinnamon, and white musk, giving it a subtle sweetness and earthy depth. While echoes of Hermes Eau des Merveilles are noted—especially in the elemi and resinous quality—its overall character is more rounded and elegant. The fragrance is airy and tender, creating a luxurious, skin-like impression, like an elegant high-end hotel soap blending with the softness of petal skin and musk. It performs best in spring and summer, particularly for daywear, and carries a moderate, intimate sillage. Though some find it less intense than expected, the clarity and harmony of its notes lend it a sense of timeless delicacy. Many appreciators see it as a modern classic—chic, elegant, and romantic—ideal for special occasions or a refined everyday wear. Its centerpiece is the harmonized floral core, softened by a powdery violet and musky finish. The patchouli adds depth without dominating, while the vanilla and cinnamon bring a warm, crème-brûlée-like drydown. That said, longevity tends to be moderate, and some users report little to no scent experience, especially if they're anosmic to certain floral notes. Despite being discontinued, it remains a beloved choice among those who appreciate nuanced, quiet luxury in perfumery—its intoxication comes not from volume, but from refined composition and presence.
