Sel d'Argent

Sel d'Argent, from BDK Parfums in 2020, was composed by Anne-Sophie Behaghel. Floral is how everyone describes it, about half also find it green, musky and citrusy, and a minority woody and ambery.

The notes are given as a single list. Grapefruit and bergamot provide a sharp, slightly bitter citrus brightness, and galbanum, listed as Iranian galbanum, a resinous, snapped-stem greenness that gives the opening its edge. The floral side is Tunisian orange blossom and Madagascar ylang-ylang, sunny and creamy, kept from sweetness by a salt note that adds a mineral, sea-air dryness. Beneath them, white musk gives a clean softness, cashmeran a warm, woody-musky fuzz, and ambroxan and Iso E Super a transparent, slightly ambery woodiness that extends the scent without adding weight.

It is worn by anyone. The picture is of a salty, green white-floral in a modern, airy style, closer to skin and sea than to a bouquet.
