Andalusian Soul unfolds as a warm, gourmand vanilla-amber fragrance with a soft, cozy character that evokes baked goods and gentle sweetness. The opening features sweet acacia and a hint of boozy rum, grounded by earthy rosemary and sage, which lend an unexpected depth and smokiness, especially through the incense. Over time, the scent transforms into a creamy, slightly powdery vanilla and amber base with subtle balsamic and civet warmth, creating a comforting and intimate presence. While many users describe excellent longevity and strong sillage, others note pronounced performance issues in warm weather—where the fragrance can fade quickly or feel overly thick and cloying—suggesting it performs best in cooler seasons like autumn and winter. It is widely recognized for its elegant, layered development and feminine appeal, though some feel it lacks a clear masculine balance despite being described as unisex.
