Salis Erbario Toscano for women and men

Purchased this as a blind buy and it totally surpassed my expectation. In a good way that is! As the name suggests it's a saline scent: ozonic, watery and transparant but luckily not fragile or weak at all. The brine of the sea really stands out. Combined with the yellow flowers the fragance transports you right to the dunes with the sea in eyesight. Wear this to the beach or if you want to go there but can't. Super original and fresh summer scent that performs adequately. Last but not least: good value for money.

Very clean fragrance. It's a Calone bomb, the molecule that smells like 'ozone' or 'watermelon' Powderdy aquatic scent with a hint of wet stones and ozone.

Recently I got a sample of this. It's good, different. A little out of the ordinary. The opening has a lot of salt water and algae, very good indeed, and then after a few minutes, musk and vanilla start to take over. I don't know yet if I would buy a full bottle, but it's pleasant.

This one is very similar to Fiore dell'Onda by L'Erbolario. Both are cheap Italian floral aquatic perfumes, that smell rather like showers by the pool than the real sea, or if you need a comparison to something more natural then it's rather a muddy water pond with some water flowers than the sea. Salis is a bit more salty, Fiore dell'Onda is a bit more floral, but the difference is really miniscule. You can't tell what kind of flowers are used in any of them, it's rather a generic "floral note" than anything else. They are both OK, inoffensive, kind of retro fragrances, but Fiore dell'Onda beats Salis to the ground when it comes to projection and longevity. Both lean slightly more feminine. You don't need any of these two, but if you absolutely need to get one, choose Fiore dell'Onda, not Salis.

This perfume is completely different from anything that I own and I love it! I don't like salt in perfume but here it is brine and it evokes the sea shore, likely helped by the "red algae". To my nose the composition is mysterious and nothing stands out as something I can easily identify. I'm walking along the cliff top, overlooking the ocean and there are blooming flowers and a few cedar trees nearby.

I own a few fragrances from Erbario Toscano and I have tried a lot of their products as well. Most of them are of very good quality but this is for me their most successful creation.

Salis is a very unique scent. I wore it in scorching weather and I felt breezy without a hint of that synthetic smell that I find in most “fresh” perfumes.
Salis is fantastic because it’s also weird. Behind me a trail of sea salt and algae, the kind of crisp freshness that I get when I chop some fresh parsley. But it’s not parsley, it’s the sea that’s evoked with great sophistication in a bouquet of flowers. I can smell it all day, and I want to smell it all day. It changes so much from the opening to the drydown that I never get bored. Definitely one of my favourites for summer although I like to wear my perfumes all year round.
A must try for everyone. A must have for me.

Do not expect the usual aromas that smell of brackish, sea, salt water and many others on the market. The beginning is very liqueur, almost toxic and then has a final hint of musk. So a pure initial explosion very powerful and then evolved into sweetness. Like the sea coasts of Tuscany, the roughness of the Tuscan Maremma which then gives the quiet of the sea view ... A surprising Maison Erbario Toscano that gives, through its perfumes, different views of the landscape of this region that everyone likes ... .

Salis is an interesting perfume.

The marine notes are the ones that stand out the most, but myrtle is very present too. This was surprising for me, as myrtle is not all that common in perfumes.
If you don’t know what it smells like, it is a fresh smell like licorice or anise, but it is different from them too. It is not minty, but a herbal fresh smell, a bit sweet too. Gotta try it to understand it.

Performance is good in general. I find it suprisingly more natural smelling than maaany others of the same kind.
It is not for everyone, because it is quite unique. More masculinr leaning, but only slightly.

Recommended if you like marine perfumes with a twist.

I've tried and bought a bottle of this impressive fragrance at the store Erbario Toscano, in Florence; that's a wonderful flowery-spicy- scent, with a vanillic-salty dry down, witch last all day long, with a fantastic sillage!!I tend to say that is more on the masculine side, but women can definitely wear it; in a nutshell: worth the hike !!! (sorry for my English, i'm French).
