Soulfully Intoxicated
I can only fathom that this creation represents Indonesian silk. If I had color synesthesia or had to relate texture so smells, I could very well see the typical colors and patterns used in Batik creations. Warm earthy tones such as browns, rust, various shades of tan and auburn.
Without hesitation, I was immediately put in the mind of Kilian's Intoxicated. Yes! The rumors are true! I almost couldn't tell them apart. In a past review, I recall referring to Intoxicated as a "niche Angel A*Men Pure Coffee". Soul Batik could very well be referred to as "niche Angel A*Men", but there's more magic bestowed from perfumer, Andrea Casotti. It's deeper, darker, much more mysterious and quite addictive I should add.
I found myself constantly wanting to smell the back of my hand, although I could smell Soul Batik clearly with my hands by my side. That should answer any questions you have about projection. I enjoy this fragrance and perhaps more than Intoxicated, but astounded that there is not a single note of coffee listed. Heavy on the cardamom, with incense finely blended into the ensemble of vanilla, amber and patchouli. I own both unregretfully, but would likely replace an empty bottle of Soul Batik opposed to Intoxicated.
