Salome (Discontinued)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Salome is a bold, animalic floral that pushes boundaries. It opens with a burst of aldehydes and bitter galbanum, then blooms into a heady mix of jasmine, narcissus, and ylang-ylang. The base is a dirty, leathery blend of castoreum, civet, and oakmoss. This is a fragrance for those who love vintage-inspired, uncompromising scents.
