Soul Essence: A fragrance that remembers you

Some fragrances adorn; others open doorways into memory and presence, embodying the quiet poetry of the Soul.

A Soul Essence is a bespoke fragrance created through a unique process of deep listening and attunement to the heart of your being. It is not just a perfume but your core note—a personal essence to accompany you through all seasons of life: celebrations, transitions, moments of grounding, and everyday living.

Unlike conventional bespoke perfumes, a Soul Essence is not based solely on your preferences but on what is revealed in the attunement—a scent that reflects who you are at your core.

The process begins with a 30-minute attunement, which can be conducted in person or online. There may be conversation, questions, or simply silence.

In this shared space, the deeper layers of your essence begin to reveal themselves, and a scent starts to take shape, sometimes as a single note, other times as a chord or a symphony.

Your blend is composed of the highest-quality organic oils and prepared with reverence and care. It is offered as an alcohol-based perfume, created to breathe and unfold with the warmth of your skin. Before it is sent to you, it is given time to settle and infuse naturally, deepening and aligning with the living world.

The fee for crafting your Soul Essence is £250, which includes your attunement session and a 100 ml bottle of your unique fragrance.

Payment is made at the time of booking the consultation.

Shipping is charged separately and varies depending on the destination.

Refills are available for £125 (100 ml).

The Story

EtheriQ was born from the alchemical path of its founder, Zeljko. For over twenty years, he worked as a naturopath, guiding people toward healing and renewal. For a decade, he also worked alongside his wife, Ana, at The Clay Cure, where his love of the earth and elements found expression in products crafted with both precision and reverence.

Throughout these years, one thread never left him: a devotion to oils, incense, and the subtle language of scent. In EtheriQ, this lifelong passion has found its true form. Each Soul Essence he creates is not only a fragrance but a vessel of memory, frequency, and presence.

Our Space

Here at Dartington Estate, surrounded by ancient trees and the quiet rhythm of nature, we’ve created a space dedicated to presence and attunement.

It is here that the Soul Essence consultations takes place, a time set apart,to pause, to listen, and to meet yourself through scent.

This space was designed to help you unwind and arrive fully,away from distraction, held by simplicity and calm.
During your session (about 30 minutes), there is nothing to achieve or perform.
You are invited to breathe, to stay present, and to let what is true come forward naturally.

Each consultation unfolds differently, but the intention is always the same:
to offer a moment of stillness where your deeper essence can be felt and recognised.
