Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Given its moderate sillage and very good longevity, this scent is versatile, leaning towards evening and cooler weather. The woody-aromatic character makes it suitable for casual wear or a sophisticated date, though perhaps too unique for a formal gathering or high-energy office setting.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Salacious opens with a spicy, almost camphorous hit of cardamom, quickly joined by the unmistakable, resinous aroma of pine. This green, forest-like heart deepens into an earthy embrace, where the dry, smoky nuances of vetiver and patchouli intertwine. A soft, supple leather note emerges, supported by a hint of animalic musk, lending a sophisticated warmth to the woody-aromatic backbone. It's a journey into a tranquil, ancient wood.
