by Etat Libre d'Orange
Soul of My Soul by Etat Libre d'Orange is a quietly complex, powdery fragrance with a smooth and intimate character. It opens with a sharp, citric burst of bergamot and pink pepper, quickly giving way to a soft, layered floral-musky base dominated by orris, suede, and vanilla. The scent evolves into a warm, skin-like composition with ambient notes of incense, benzoin, and sandalwood, creating a sense of quiet elegance. While some users describe it as overly powdery—reminiscent of talcum powder or baby lotion—others find it comforting, mature, and beautifully blended. The fragrance leans unisex but has subtle feminine warmth, particularly through its rose and tonka accents. Performance is moderate to long-lasting, with sillage that remains intimate and quiet, making it especially suitable for autumn and winter wear. It’s not a bold or bold projection, nor is it overly sweet or gourmand; instead, it rewards those who appreciate understated, refined compositions with depth and nuance.
