Egoli by Aqualis is a fragrance for women and men. Egoli was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Chris Maurice. Top notes are Brazilian Orange, Tuberose, Lavender and Jasmine Sambac; middle notes are Gurjan balsam, Atlas Cedar, Amber and Singapore Patchouli; base notes are Laotian Oud, Haitian Vetiver and Musk. Egoli draws its name from the Zulu word for Johannesburg, meaning ‘place of gold’. It honours the city’s history and growth from a small gold mining settlement into the wealthiest city on the continent. Egoli is a modern exploration of Oud - the prized resin known as liquid gold - extravagantly dosed and in perfect harmony with the rich balsamic sweetness of resins. Housed in a bottle inspired by gold gleaming from the rocks of the Witwatersrand region, Egoli creates an instant impression of golden light. Opening with a profusion of honey-like gurjum resin and glowing amber, set against a jolt of sweet orange. A soft and subtle touch of white floralcy extends this luminous sensation into the heart. Laotian Oud is explored in all its facets: intensely smoky, surprisingly fruity and animalic. An abundance of earthy vetiver and smooth cedar provide depth and form. Egoli takes traditional materials and combines them in a contemporary way, resulting in a plush and glistening fragrance.
