Houbigant Bleu Salin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Luca Maffei. Bleu Salin opens with Blackcurrant and Mint, settles into a heart of Pittosporum, Cascalone, and Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Houbigant's Bleu Salin carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

If you're after a smooth, high-quality take on the classic 'blue' aquatic scent profile, Bleu Salin delivers. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking, and be prepared for a familiar drydown that might not justify the price for some.

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

Bleu Salin opens with a lively, fresh hit of invigorating mint and tart blackcurrant, instantly evoking a coastal breeze. This bright introduction gives way to a clean, oceanic heart, where the innovative cascalone accord blends seamlessly with soft cashmeran and a whisper of white floral from pittosporum. The drydown settles into a comforting base of warm amber intertwined with clean cedar and an earthy patchouli echo, creating a smooth and persistent finish.
