Since 2012, Soul Man GAP has never stopped surprising. This is a masculine fragrance rooted in the spicy and fern families. The fragrance concentration is eau de toilette.
Made in the United States. Soul Man GAP unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Soul Man evolves as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of GAP is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette sets the depth and body this composition needs.
Right at the start you meet invigorating sunny opening notes: Bergamot and Clary Sage. These 2 notes build a sensation of cool purity that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
When the opening settles you sense Cardamom, Ginger, Ozone and Violet leaf carrying a warm-spicy direction.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Aromatic, Abstract, Citrus and Wood without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Amber, Leather and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Aromatic, Spicy and Mineral. The palette also extends to Green, Animals, Leather and Wood.
Overall Soul Man holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
