Description

 Papillon Salome was created by Papillon Artisan Perfumes in fall 2015. Papillon Salome was created by Liz Moores and has notes of bitter orange, jasmine, carnation, rose, Africa stone, oak moss and styrax. This is a rich, pungent fragrance that lasted on me through a shower. Inspired by Salome of Dance of the Seven Veils Biblical fame, it is intended to be seductive, irrational and beautiful. And it is.  This is the EDP, eau de parfum.

Papillon Salome was nominated for a 2016 Art and Olfaction Award in the Artisan Category. An artisanal perfume company, handcrafted in small batches from the finest raw materials.

Papillon Salome Reviews (warning, reviews are, um, steamy)

Kafkaesque - "What amuses and appeals to me intellectually is how Salome’s note evolution and profile symbolically play out like the seduction scene in a slightly erotic movie. At the end of the first hour and the start of the second, the waves of animalics start to grow stronger. Like a woman (or man) who has fixed their eye on someone at the other end of the bar and is beginning to reveal more and more skin, Salome starts to radiate come-hither whiffs of muskiness along with what I shall only call “arousal.” (It’s not intense enough to my nose to be pure or hardcore raunchy skank, so “arousal” it shall be.) At the same time, the rose starts to finally re-emerge from behind the jasmine, but the real action is taking place in the base where the spicy patchouli, quietly smoky styrax, leathery birch, and vanilla begin to stir."

Candy Perfume Boy - "At the heart of Salome sits, what I like to call a ‘trifecta of filth’; Castoreum (beaver butt), which adds a leathery tone; africa stone (a.k.a. hyraceum, the fossilised excrement of the rock badger) which provides a sour musky, and scalp-like tone, as well as a tobacco-like facet, giving the impression of warm bodies and cigarette smoke; and jasmine blooms forth with breathy indolic beauty. This may make Salome sound unpalatable, dirty and disgusting, but the reality is actually something much more compelling than that. Disgusting is easy, but taking rich animalics and weaving them into something beautiful that inspires further sniffs is quite an achievement. In reality, Salome smells hot, smoky and leathery, evoking unwashed clothes and naked bodies."

Perfume Posse - " It applies with an amazingly heavy dose of skank.  This is the Africa stone, which is basically the old droppings of a Rock Hyrax – also known as hyraceum – and that stuff is pungent.  While I find the opening to be sexually feral just because it takes your breath away and makes you think naughty thoughts, I don’t think it really stays that way. It stays incredibly seductive, like a full-court flirt press that never lets up.  Dance of the Seven Veils in scented form, and my respect to the perfumer to fully encasing this sort of seductive hammer in a perfume."

The Non-Blonde - "Salome doesn't waste any time before letting you know why she's here. She's also not shy about her origins, where she comes from. She's here from the past, bringing with her a suitcase of memories.  She's a woman who gets dressed up for dinner, owns hats, gloves, and silk stockings, and knows how to use all of them to her advantage. Yet she will not remain fully clothed for too long. I told you, she's pretty clear about what she wants."

Megan in Sainte Maxime - " A voluptuous velvet textured vintage styled perfume that will wrap around your skin and lead to thoughts involving sexual healing, preferably on a sheepskin rug."

Basenotes - "Yet Luca Turin is correct in that, this melange of notes is blended so expertly, so smoothly, that one cannot fault it... It does that classic thing of creating a unique Gestalt all its own."

    Salome-A Memory of a scent

    A memory: Several years ago on warm spring day, when I knew absolutely nothing of fragrances, I walked into a full-service car wash to get my car detailed. The customer service female at the counter must have been 10-15 years my senior assisted me with my ticket was wearing a hypnotic animalic-floral perfume. The scent wafted under my sniffer as I stood at the counter—knees becoming slightly weaker. I will never forget that scent. It was attractively spicy and sexy. Honestly, it smelt like sex. Funny how our senses work. It made my lion roar! Smelling a sample Salome perfume transports me back many years ago to this memory at the car wash. It's remarkable at how one can recall certain scents from events and times. Beautiful animalic-spicy-chypre scent! In the opening, you get a heavy dose of cumin. I like the cumin in Salome better than I do in Serge Lutens MKK. In Salome, the cumin makes it dirty but not too nasty. The middle floral notes of jasmine, carnation, orange blossom, and rose standout nicely. The carnation gives the scent a pinch of spiciness. This is the first perfume I’ve experience with Hyrax. In the base notes, the birch gives it a slight smokey-incense vibe. Also, you have oakmoss, hay, patchouli, styrax, cumin, castoreum, vanilla, and cumin in the bottom notes. Salome stays rich, floral, and musky throughout. The orange and citruses keep the animalic notes corralled. This is one fragrance that definitely blossoms and improves as it progresses. It’s not by accident that you wear this perfume. It’s worth trying if you like animalic scents-one of the better animalic scent I’ve tried. I’m still searching for the perfect animalic scent for me—if there is one. I really like the oakmoss, but I wish it had Vietnamese agarwood in the fragrance. Salome has great longevity and good sillage. For me, I’m not sure Salome is something I want in my perfume collection. As far as the scent, I do like—and I think I like it more on female persons. I’ll keep experimenting!

    I was so glad I decided to try Salome! I first discovered this scent while researching the skanky side of the perfume world. If you don’t know, skankiness is not an insult and does not refer to the 1980s version of the term. Skank is a slightly dirty smell—like body odor or pee or a barn. It is often disguised with more appealing notes but it is still there, sparking the reptile brain into a combination of repulsion and desire. Enter Salome. The first notes I get are full-on barnyard but in the most beautiful way. Think hay warmed by an afternoon sun with a sweet pinch of urine thrown into the mix. It may be offensive to some, but blended with all the warm sunshine that takes over the scent, I melt. Slightly powdery (never dry), I smell vanilla, hay, jasmine, buttery gold (it’s the way I can think to describe it!), and smooth anamalics. The sillage is wonderful on my skin, staying with me for hours on the drydown. The drydown is similarly warm, with the same notes present minus all that brightness. It becomes warmer, more comforting, and more intimate. Thanks to this little sample, I know Salome will be a staple in my fragrance line up. This is a perfect perfume for testing, as I am sure it won’t be for everyone, but it is so complex and cozy it’s certainly worth a sniff!

    Can't Describe it

    I think it's kind of earthy. It seems to be quite strong and long-lasting. I prefer a more floral perfume, but I'm sure many people would love this

    Salome

    It's hard to put my finger on it, since each time I wear it the aroma is different. Today the initial note is a green floral, but quickly changed to a beautiful woodsy, incensy, oudy with a floral heart. JUST LOVELY!

    Decadent Anamalic!

    If you take the best, most amazing-smelling parts of vintage Cuir de Russie, Tabac Blond, and Muscs Koublai Khan, you might begin to have something that approaches Salome. This is a dark, witchy, sex-pot of a fragrance that smells deeply leathery, smokey, spicy, animalic, and most of all...SEXY. It's a gorgeous, dark-night-in-the-forest scent that keeps me smelling myself all evening long. I seriously can't imagine a fragrance that could top this one for complexity and sheer sensual beauty. Wow...a conjurer's scent for sure!
