The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Etat Libre d'Orange, Soul Of My Soul is a daring and unconventional Oriental Spicy fragrance created by perfumer Shyamala Maisondieu. The composition opens with the bright freshness of bergamot and pink pepper, which gives way to a heart of orris, rose, and suede. These notes blend seamlessly into an enveloping base of Australian sandalwood, musk, Madagascar vanilla, benzoin, and tonka bean, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. Soul Of My Soul embodies the brand's ethos of pushing boundaries with its complex layers that evoke both sensuality and sophistication.
For best effect, apply this fragrance to pulse points. The warm base notes take time to bloom, so it's worth letting it settle for about an hour before heading out. It reads better close to skin than in a wide sillage, making it perfect for more intimate settings.
