SOUL Extrait de Parfum

Description

The Fragrance

Soul unveils rarefied cosmopolitan atmospheres, independent in its essential nature and in the intimate olfactory power of ambergris, vanilla pods, and patchouli. The logic of reason is entrusted to the notes of cardamom, pink pepper, and bergamot, dispersing through the top notes in a spicy mantra that opens to the heart of the fragrance with the intense notes of geranium and oud wood. The base notes of the fragrance allow themselves to be engulfed by the rare purity of ambergris. Soul is a fragrance of sense and sensibility, sophisticated elegance, and noble purity.

Soul embodies the meeting of intellectual refinement with raw emotional power, balancing its bold composition with a sophisticated, cosmopolitan flair. It merges the richness of oriental ingredients with modern, minimalist sensibilities, creating an olfactory journey that is as thought-provoking as it is captivating.

The bottle is an iconic design object: its solid, angular form is a testament to strength and character, symbolizing the complex duality of intellect and emotion.

Distinctive note
Oud Wood

Smell: Warm, hypnotic, woody, resinous, reminiscent of sandalwood

Origin: Oud is a rare tree originating in South-East Asia and India. This resinous wood, also known as agarwood, is highly valued in various cultures for its distinctive fragrance and is commonly used in incenses and perfumes. The aroma of oud is complex, with few natural equivalents, and its essential oil has been used in religious ceremonies across ancient civilizations.

Extraction: The essence is obtained through the distillation of the solidified, dark part of the resin, capturing its rich and hypnotic scent.
