Laboratorio Olfattivo describes Salina as “[a] parfum that
remind us immediately the sun blinding sparkle, reflecting itself over the
water; the childish play of footprints over the sand, deleted by waves, and the
warmth of the sun over the skin”.
The water, sand and waves bit I get: it’s there in the
heavily dosed Calone-type marine base. What I don’t get is why this is
introduced by an almost combative, sweetly-herbal green complex that in part
recalls artemisia; it neither develops the theme in an obvious direction nor
works in a complementary fashion.
Relative to the former, the latter accord doesn’t last so
very long, meaning one ends up smelling principally of warm, stagnant rock-pool
for much of the scent’s duration.
