What does Salsa smell like?

Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than announcing itself. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind. Business, daily wear and leisure lead the occasions, while night-out use is less common.

It opens with violet, lavender and bergamot alongside a chypre accord, which gives a cool, fresh start. In the heart, jasmine, rose and red berries add a soft, sweet floral note. The base of patchouli, sandalwood, Virginia cedar and tobacco dries down spicy, oriental and faintly animal. Its profile is close to M. Micallef Rose Aoud and Lancôme Magie.
