A very special, beautiful scent that somehow oscillates between fresh and warm. The sweetness is subtle; I don't perceive it as floral at all, which is a good thing in my case. It gains a certain uniqueness in the dry down. The noticeable chestnut-cacao mix gives the perfume a slightly bitter, nutty facet that I haven't encountered before. Longevity is very good, sillage pleasantly moderate. However, the price is, in my opinion, outrageous; one should really love Soie Malaquais before spending so much money.
