A bit of a Weird one
The opening of this has an intense, over-cooked candied lemons (maybe a touch of cherry) smell that is like a syrupy fruit flavoured cough medicine. If I breath out whilst smelling my arm a scent somewhat similar to Vick's Vapour Rub wafts up to my nose.
It is around two hours before some woods and florals move into place and then something about it reminds me of Hasu-no Hana (but don't let that mislead you, Hasu is a gentle powdery lovliness whereas Salma is medicinal and harsh, the resemblance to Hasu drowning under cough syrup and vapour rub).
Another hour or so and there is an undercurrent of tar like muskiness, still with the fruity cough medicine and vapour rub.
At no stage did I experience definite floral notes; the perfume remained thick, heavy, syrupy-citrus medicinal, minty, mentholated, pine tar.
Overall, trying out this perfume hasn't made me want to put my 3ml roller ball of oil into my perfume rotation; it's the cough syrup note that is rather too strong for me,
