I believe it is the phenomenological essence - eidos. Looking for it, is part of the phenomenological inquiry. You look for the essence of experience in order to look for universals but also for the different essences in order to understand differences in experiences. The experience of the Other helps understand yours. Heidegger was not much in favor of the reductio as proposed by Husserl, he was looking for essence, context and interpretation, introduced existential phenomenology (modified by Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Marcel) and hermeneutical phenomenology (extended by Gadamer and Ricoeur)
