Fragrance information:
Souk perfume by the British niche house Essentially Me is an ode to Oriental opulence and floral femininity.
Launched in 2000, the fragrance embodies the brand’s philosophy of reviving the spirit of perfumery’s “golden age.”
This masterpiece was created by perfumer Alec Lawless, renowned for his ability to combine noble ingredients.
An Olfactory Journey
Souk belongs to the Oriental and floral families, and its eau de parfum has a very powerful sillage. It is a fragrance for women who are not afraid to stand out.
The composition opens with intoxicating tuberose, then unfolds into spicy patchouli and sensual jasmine.
The base envelops with resinous incense, damp oakmoss, sweet vanilla, and earthy vetiver. It is a complex, multifaceted pyramid that plays on the skin for hours.
Character and Wearability
Thanks to its rich structure and striking sillage, Souk is perfect for evenings out and special occasions.
It was created for confident women who appreciate classic Oriental motifs with a contemporary twist.
The fragrance draws compliments and lingers in the memory—be prepared for the question, “What are you wearing? You smell amazing!”
