Soul of My Soul
Soul of My Soul by Etat Libre d'Orange is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, incense and pink pepper, moves into orris butter, rose and suede and dries down to sandalwood, georgywood and vanilla. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Orris Butter The expensive form of iris. Cold, buttery, faintly carrot and violet.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Georgywood A lab-made wood with a velvety, ambery hum. A close cousin of Iso E Super.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
