Salome
EDPUnisex
The Story
Salome is a bold, animalic floral that feels both vintage and daring. It opens with a burst of aldehydes and bitter orange, then blooms into a heady mix of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and narcissus. The base is a warm, dirty blend of castoreum, civet, and leather that lingers for hours. This is a fragrance for those who aren't afraid to make a statement.
