Blue Mai Tai

Inspired by a cocktail, Blue Mai Tai from Salum Parfums is a sweet, boozy citrus gourmand composed by Sofia Bardelli and released in 2024. People describe it as gourmand and citrus in equal measure, and about half also notice a woody, ambery base.

Lime and orange give the opening a sharp, juicy squeeze, while ice suggests a cold, glassy freshness. Rum then brings a warm, dark, slightly molasses-like sweetness, and syrup adds a sticky, sugary tone. Almond and almond milk, the orgeat of the original drink, contribute a creamy, marzipan-like softness. Davana, a herb with a boozy, fruity character, links the fruit and the alcohol. The base turns warmer, with patchouli giving an earthy depth and styrax a balsamic, ambery glow.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who like playful, drinkable fragrances. The fresh citrus and ice point to summer, holidays and evenings on a terrace, while the rum and almond give it enough warmth for cooler nights. Fans of cocktail-themed gourmands are its natural audience.
