Soie Malaquais Dries Van Noten 2022

I became aware of this fragrance through social media. Unfortunately, I'm a notorious blind buyer, so I couldn't see this fragrance again.

When I first sprayed it on, I was honestly a little disappointed, it was far too fruity for me. You can clearly smell the blackcurrant. But after a few minutes, I could understand what people find so enchanting about this fragrance. It becomes so velvety and silky, for me it's suitable for a date night as well as a cozy evening at home. It's elegant but also cozy.
In summary, this fragrance smells like cool silk.
I can smell the chestnut and cocoa only slightly, the vanilla base is clearly recognizable, whereby the currant remains present. The star of the fragrance is the silk.
The H/S are very good. Soie Malaquais is absolutely unique, a compliment-getter and never gets too much for me. The more I wear it, the more I love it.

The similarity to This Is Her! (my favorite fragrance), but I can't explain why.
If you are looking for a silky, fruity and creamy fragrance, you should definitely give Soie Malaquais a chance.
