Salalah

by Julien Rasquinet

Salalah is a floral oud composed by Julien Rasquinet for Contes de Parfums, inspired by the Omani city that ruled the frankincense trade for centuries. Plum and rose open the composition with fruity softness, before a sumptuous heart of Turkish rose and patchouli. A base of oud, labdanum and gurjun balsam leaves a woody, resinous and enveloping trail. A modern reading of Arabic perfumery, balanced between opulence and elegance.

The fragrance

Salalah opens with Plum and Rose, setting the tone from the very first moment. The heart unfolds with Patchouli and Rose, adding depth and real personality to the composition. The base of Oud and Cistus leaves a deep, structured, floral sillage that sits more noticeably on the skin. Easy to read from the first spray, yet layered enough to keep changing over the hours.

The brand

Contes de Parfums is a niche perfume house that tells the story of the world through its cities. Each fragrance is born from a story a perfumer lived on location: a market, a quality of light, a street scent that stays in the memory forever. The Timeless Cities collection travels from Marrakesh to Tokyo, from Positano to Reykjavik, from Sevilla to Dubai, by way of Agra, Hydra and Salvador da Bahia. Rather than recreating a postcard, the house seeks the right emotion, the one that transports you in a single spray. Its compositions, entrusted to perfumers with very different sensibilities, explore every olfactory family, from luminous florals to deep woods and oriental ouds. Each Contes de Parfums fragrance comes in 100 ml, like a travel journal worn on the skin.
