Solaris 356 by Maison Noir: a luminous oriental floral with a sweet twist

Solaris 356 is the latest unisex perfume from Maison Noir, composed by Julie Massé and Alexander Lee. Launched in 2026, this oriental floral sits somewhere between bright freshness and deeper, warmer textures.

Pink pepper, aldehydes and pear make for a clean, slightly fizzy start. The heart turns towards sambac jasmine, incense and patchouli, before a base of dulce de leche, ambergris and musk brings a creamy, lingering finish.

What stands out about Solaris 356 from the very first spray is its shimmering top. The aldehydes add a crystalline sparkle, pear brings a juicy roundness, and pink pepper lends a subtle heat. It is an inviting start that hints at the complexity beneath.

The heart shifts the mood. Sambac jasmine is full and heady, while incense and patchouli ground it with a smoky, earthy edge. This gives the perfume a contemplative, almost sacred atmosphere that remains sleek and wearable.

Accords of amber, sweetness, musk and white flowers sit at the centre, with woody, spicy, aldehyde and animalic details around them. A faint freshness keeps the whole thing balanced, so the heavier notes never overwhelm.

The drydown is where the perfume's personality becomes most intimate. Dulce de leche lends a milky, caramel-like softness, while ambergris and musk extend the scent on the skin. The sillage is generous without being intrusive.

This is a scent for autumn nights, dinner dates, or any moment that calls for a confident signature. With a lighter hand, it also works during the day for those who prefer bold perfumes.

Lovers of oriental florals with a gourmand undertone and a warm, enveloping presence. Also perfect for anyone seeking a well-crafted unisex perfume with contemporary appeal and a memorable trail.

Solaris 356 is an assured addition to the Maison Noir line. Julie Massé and Alexander Lee have created a balanced oriental floral, fusing juicy top notes with resinous depth and a creamy drydown. Elegant, modern and just a little mysterious.
