Salaria

Which Should You Buy?
A modern, musk-heavy clean scent from Serge Lutens that splits opinion. Some find it a fresh, invigorating breath of frosty air, a 'your skin but better' vibe, while others are left underwhelmed by its simplicity and perceived lack of Lutens' signature daring.
This marine powerhouse is an acquired taste, but if you're after that true-to-life salty, herbal seaside experience, Salaria delivers. It's a polarizing scent, with some finding it blissful and others a bit too much like Vicks Vaporub.
