Salome (Flanker)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Salome is a bold, animalic floral that pushes boundaries. This flanker version amplifies the leather and castoreum, making it even more daring. It opens with a burst of aldehydes and bitter orange, then settles into a rich, dirty jasmine and honey heart. The base is a warm, leathery blend of castoreum, styrax, and vanilla. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you love skanky florals, this is a masterpiece.
