FragranceFragranceSouk by Essentially Me is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Top notes are Orris Root, Jasmine, Neroli and Rose; middle notes are Green Notes, Citruses, Spices and Opoponax; base notes are Incense, Virginia Cedar and Sandalwood. This was inspired by travelling in the Middle East and India where there is much to celebrate from these ancient cultures. The haunting smells of the spice markets, the Arab love affair with the rose, fragrant gardens, precious woods, resins and incense. Sandalwood, frankincense and Cedar of Lebanon are blended with balsams to provide a complex woody heart. Rose Maroc, jasmine, orris and neroli bring floral tributes from surrounding lands. Citrus fruits, herbs and oriental spices bring nuance from the market stalls and the ancient mysterious opoponax suggests incense with help from frankincense and sandalwood. Deep complex and beguiling - the beauty is in the mystery.
