Salalah

by Julien Rasquinet

Contes de Parfums Salalah is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Julien Rasquinet. Salalah opens with Rose and Plum, settles into a heart of Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Oud, and Balsam. Contes de Parfums's Salalah carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, luxurious rose-oud with a distinct fruity twist. While some might find the performance lacking, those who appreciate understated elegance will find this a total winner for evening wear.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its rich oud and fruity-resin complexity, Salalah shines in formal and date settings, creating a luxurious aura. Its moderate to subdued sillage after the initial blast makes it unsuitable for casual wear and definitely not for sport. While not ideal for the office, a light hand could make it work.

About

Salalah opens with a rich, jammy plum and delicate rose. As it settles, a clean, balanced oud emerges, wrapped in the earthy warmth of patchouli and the sweet, resinous embrace of labdanum and balsam. It's an oriental blend that feels both timeless and deeply sophisticated.
