Papillon Artisan Perfumes Salome is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Salome opens with Bergamot and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Birch, Oakmoss, and Cumin. Papillon Artisan Perfumes's Salome carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Salome is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it animalic chypre that demands attention. It's a modern classic for those brave enough to wear something truly carnal and vintage-inspired.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and potent animalic character, Salome is far too provocative for an office setting or casual wear. It truly shines for date nights and formal events, where its intense, sensual allure can be appreciated.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

A complex opening of citrus and indolic white florals soon gives way to a full-bodied, leathery heart, rich with hyraceum and a whisper of tobacco. The base settles into a dark, earthy blend of castoreum, moss, cumin, and styrax, creating a sensuous and unapologetically animalic warmth that lingers with a hint of vanilla.
