In short
A warm, waxy amber that keeps a cool, salty halo around it instead of sinking into sweetness.

Accords inside. This formula contains Salt Skin Accord at 250 parts. It is already expanded into the lines above — each material appears once, with the accord's share merged into it — so an accord is never weighed or counted twice.
Composition notes
- Key materials. Beeswax Absolute, Benzoin Resinoid (Siam), Labdanum Absolute, Ambergris Tincture, Ambroxan
- What makes it distinctive. Clean marine salt against dense honeyed amber — two families that rarely share a formula.
- Character. A soft, glowing trail; the salt keeps the amber from feeling heavy.
- Concentration. 18–20% (eau de parfum)
Safety and compliance
- Status. Regulatory assessment pending. No formula-level safety assessment is documented yet, so this page does not say the formula is compliant for any use.
- IFRA Standards. The IFRA Standards Library covers 5 of its materials: Sandalore (Restriction: 5-(2,2,3-Trimethyl-3-cyclopentenyl)-3-methylpentan-2-ol, Amendment 49); Exaltolide (Restriction: Cyclopentadecanolide, Amendment 49); Linalool (Specification: Linalool, Amendment 38); Benzyl Salicylate (Restriction: Benzyl salicylate, Amendment 49); Cashmeran (Restriction: 6,7-Dihydro-1,1,2,3,3-pentamethyl-4(5H)-indanone (DPMI), Amendment 49).
- Skin sensitisation. EU-labelled fragrance allergens present as ingredients: Benzyl salicylate, Linalool. Natural materials carry further allergens as constituents, declared from the supplier’s data, and Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 extends the list to be labelled on products placed on the EU market from 31 July 2026.
- Product category. Limits depend on the product: fine fragrance, leave-on and rinse-off products have different IFRA categories, and each Standard sets its own figure for each.
