What does Rock Salt smell like?

The top is green mandarin orange, bergamot, elemi resin and petitgrain, bright and slightly bitter. In the heart, mastic, beeswax absolute, labdanum, ambergris and salt bring a resinous, faintly salty feel. The base of amyris, Siam benzoin, Haitian vetiver and sandalwood settles into a woody, spicy foundation.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine and stays light on the skin. Masque I-I Terralba and Gabriella Chieffo Acquasala have a close profile.
