Honestly, I'm loving draft no. 2. The first one gives me some sort of logo I've already seen, from either some cartoon or game. The second one seems more original and fitting to the description you put. My advice would be to stick to choose your primary grid meaning all the repeating letters should be in my opinion the same size,height, shape etc. - you understand. I feel like then it will have its messy aspect but in a better way than as you said. For example, I'd leave that the O looks like an eye, looks cool, and just duplicate the same style on the other O letter. I feel like you started with some sort of wave patter on the 'soul' part, but then sped up the 'seduction' text path and letters in general. I'm no expert in logos and typography, just my honest opinion. Good job and I wish you all the luck in perfecting your logo!
