For my opinion it is an unique scent. I love the bitter whiff of ebony and/or bitter-almond. And it is one of my favourite perfumes. But it is temporarily not to receive.
Soapy? No, not for me, because I do not appreaciate soapy perfumes (aldehyde and muscetone). But everybody perceives different, right? Though I received last year in winter a new flasc directly from france within few days. But since last summer it is not to find anymore, anywhere.
