Fragrance Profile:
A unisex oriental-woody fragrance. The Swedish name "Kropp & Själ" translates to "Body & Soul" - a fitting title for a scent that balances freshness with depth, brightness with darkness. Complex, meditative, and well-structured.
Kropp & Själ opens with an energetic spice-citrus blend. Sharp ginger and warm cardamom meet the cold-pressed brightness of bergamot and blood orange. Saffron adds its signature leathery, slightly medicinal touch - expensive and intriguing from the very first spray.
The heart is floral but grounded. Jasmine and orange blossom provide classic white-floral sweetness, while Spanish broom introduces a honeyed, hay-like warmth. Amber and patchouli begin to pull the composition toward the darker side. Iris adds a subtle powdery, almost lipstick-like softness that balances the greens.
The base is forest-like and serene. Balsam fir brings a crisp, piney freshness. Cedar adds dry wood. Laburnum (note: likely a botanical reference; in perfumery it suggests green, woody accents) blends with vanilla and amber to create a smooth, slightly sweet dry-down. Musk provides a clean, skin-like finish.
