Scent Description:
Salome opens with a burst of citrus-bitter orange and bergamot-giving a bright, sharp lift that quickly yields to rich floral tones of jasmine, Turkish rose, orange blossom and carnation. These are not shy or demure florals: the jasmine in particular has indolic depth, and the rose is plush and assertive. Soon after the floral heart reveals its more animalic flank: hyraceum (also called Africa Stone), castoreum, and touches of tobacco and cumin introduce a musky, leathery, smoky and slightly feral character. In the base, oakmoss, patchouli, birch tar, hay and styrax provide a damp, warm, slightly resinous woody-chypre foundation, while vanilla softens and sweetens the final stages. The evolution moves from provocative heat to a darker, intimate seduction. The fragrance family-animalic-chypre with floral and resinous woods-helps frame this as a perfume that is dramatic, vintage-inspired, and richly textured.
Performance Details:
Longevity: 9/10 - Salome lasts very long on skin and fabric; many wearers report full-day wear and scent trace even into the next day.
Sillage: 8/10 - Strong, noticeable projection early on; tends to soften but remains perceptible.
Projection: 8/10 - Bold projection in the opening and heart, with a powerful presence; drydown is more intimate but still present.
