by Alkemia Perfumes
Salome Alkemia unfolds as a darkly feminine scent with a delicate balance of green, floral, and boozy warmth. It opens with a sharp green presence from violet leaf and bitter orange, layered over the rich, sweet base of bourbon vanilla and tonka bean, creating a paradoxical yet harmonious marriage of light and depth. The core of the fragrance is a soft, velvety magnolia blooming under a veil of wine-like cognac and resins, with a gradual transition into a warm, resinous drydown of sandalwood, cedar, and musky sweetness. The scent evolves in phases—initially juicy and green, then becoming more intoxicatingly boozy and vanillic, finishing with a quiet, enveloping warmth that lingers subtly on the skin. Its character is more refined than gourmand, more mysterious than innocent, with a sensual undertone that feels both intimate and compelling.
