About this fragrance
Somali Soul opens with a rich sweep of bright citrus and bergamot, the kind of top note that feels ancient, sun-baked, and quietly powerful from the very first breath, deepened by zesty lemon, cool lavender, and a whisper of green leaves.
The heart reveals soft, powdery violet at its core, intertwining with translucent jasmine to create a grounded, meditative elegance.
The scent anchors itself in a deeply rooted, velvety foundation. Warm tonka bean, earthy vetiver, and a whisper of clove merge beneath luminous woods, a soft pour of vanilla, and a heavy blanket of clean powdery musk, leaving a memorable finish that feels noble, serene, and deeply rooted. Compare to Lush® brand Smuggler's Soul™.
