Some fragrances capture a memory. Others, a mood. But with Soleil Mouillé, Antinomie bottles a paradox: the gentle warmth of sunshine persisting through a sudden summer downpour. Presented in the intimate Appartement Étoile (Symrise) in Paris, Soleil Mouillé marks a poetic new chapter for the niche perfume house. Composed by perfumer Pierre Guéros, this unisex scent is a sensorial ode to contradiction — radiant yet aquatic, intimate yet expansive.
The opening notes — Italian bergamot, marine rose, and hand-pressed Madagascan mandarin — evoke the first tingling drops on sun-warmed skin. At its heart, jasmine sambac and magnolia soften into a breezy coconut accord, while the drydown settles into a radiant trail of musk, vanilla, and a solar amber signature. The result is a composition that clings like the memory of summer on wet skin — sensual, enveloping, and emotionally charged.
More than just a perfume, Soleil Mouillé reflects Antinomie’s essence: “a brand that celebrates the beauty of contradictions through unique, surprising, and non-gendered fragrances.” Their mission? To affirm our paradoxes, with concentrated, long-lasting formulas and creative freedom at the heart of every composition.
As the brand so poetically puts it:
“On aime tout et son contraire. Et on aime le porter.”
(We love everything and its opposite. And we love to wear it.)
Preorders for Soleil Mouillé are now open on antinomieparfum.com, with official deliveries beginning on June 21 — the summer solstice — to celebrate light, warmth, and the art of being many things at once.
