Soul Tonic Eau De Parfum
Morning light captured in a bottle.
Soul Tonic is a vibrant, weightless unisex fragrance inspired by quiet mornings in the woods. Bright top notes of citrus and cardamom open the scent, while green tea, jasmine, and hedione form a serene heart. Juniper and cypress provide dry clarity, balanced by a tender warmth that lingers. Effortless yet layered, Soul Tonic evokes movement, light, and inner balance in every breath.
50 ml
Soul Tonic evokes the clarity of morning light over quiet woods—citrus and cardamom spark, green tea and jasmine rise like a breath of fresh air, and juniper with cypress drifts into a weightless warmth, a unisex fragrance of effortless balance and understated elegance.
The first light spills over the terraced tea fields of Sapa, mist curling between emerald rows, soft as silk. A lone figure moves slowly along the narrow paths, toes brushing dew-laden leaves, fingers trailing over young tea shoots. Citrus and cardamom spark in the cool morning air, bright and fleeting, while green tea and jasmine rise like soft aura, unfolding gently around them. Juniper and cypress follow, crisp and grounding, echoing the quiet rhythm of the hills and the silently shooting trees in the passes.
The figure pauses at the edge of a terrace, steamed breath rising, watching sunlight pierce the mist, gold reflected in their eyes. Light expands, pooling across the green sea of hills. For a long, suspended moment, the world holds still. The soul stretches with it, weightless and luminous, bracing for the Interruption of the quiet pulse of earth, sun and air, the delicate balance of nature and self. The tea fields shimmer as if alive, moving, vibrant, fleeting, and impossible to forget, like the lingering trace of a scent that moves through memory as effortlessly as light through mist.

It began with books.
NKDAPE began with a six-year-old in a quiet room, drawn not to the words, but to the scents of books. New books smelled of dry ink and crisp linen; antique volumes carried must, wood, and sun-warmed paper. Each was a memory waiting to be unwrapped.
That curiosity grew into a lifelong fascination: how scent stirs the unspoken, lingers like an unfinished sentence, and tells a story without words.
The name plays on “naked ape,” a reminder that perfume isn’t just luxury—it’s instinct, connection, and the intimate dance between fragrance and skin. Every scent evolves differently with each wearer. What begins shared becomes uniquely yours. NKDAPE celebrates the moment the invisible becomes completely personal.
