What does Sel à Vie smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate: it neither dominates the room nor disappears quickly. Voters place it mostly in leisure and business settings, with daytime wear and evenings following behind. It reads neither distinctly masculine nor feminine, sitting somewhere in between.

It opens with mandarin orange and orange, bright and citrusy. Toward the heart, ylang-ylang, tiaré and jasmine add a soft, slightly fruity floral note. The dry-down leaves driftwood, vanilla and sea salt: woody, mildly sweet, with a salty aquatic edge. Acorelle Absolu Tiaré and Roger & Gallet Ylang have a close profile.
