Soie Malaquais generates strong initial enthusiasm with its elegant, unique composition and gorgeous presentation. However, community consensus reveals it's polarizing: those who love gourmand scents find it stunning, while others find it overly sweet. The primary criticism is weak longevity and sillage that don't justify its luxury price point, making the affordable travel size a recommended option to test before committing.

Gris Charnel receives divided opinions within the community. While some are optimistic about the new Extrait de Parfum concentration and appreciate the unique spiced character, others find the original too sour or experience minimal fig presence. The fragrance appeals to niche enthusiasts but lacks consensus as a mainstream fig fragrance recommendation.
