by Starck
Peau de Soie by Starck is a softly provocative musk-based fragrance with a powdery, woody, and animalic character. It opens with a crisp, slightly soapy freshness, featuring white musk and a subtle chypre-like structure. Over time, the scent deepens into a refined, modern woodland note wrapped in a cool, smooth powder, evoking the feeling of marble or industrial modernity. The powder is not sweet or baby-like, but rather minimalist, elegant, and sophisticated, making it fit for refined settings. It projects moderately, with a soft presence that stays close to the skin—ideal for daytime wear and calm, urbane moments. The fragrance balances masculinity and femininity, offering versatility without being overtly sexy or flamboyant. It works best in spring and autumn, and despite its drydown, its quiet power makes it suitable for professional settings, with a slight cooling effect that prevents overpowering sillage.
