About

Salvador da Bahia opens with a creamy, unusual pairing of cashew and vibrant cardamom, creating an immediate warm spice effect that's both inviting and intriguing. This then settles into a heart of dry, almost powdery cacao shell and elegant orris, adding a touch of sophisticated dustiness. The dry down is a prominent, grounding patchouli, rich and earthy, maintaining the warmth and complexity throughout.
