A soothing beach fragrance made with salt and florals
Salt has been owned by my boyfriend ever since I got it as a free sample and gave it to him because I already had one from the Scent Diary fragrance discovery set. I've smelled it a few times on him and I've been enthralled ever since. It was now time to see if my own skin would react well to it.

Soothing. This is the first word that comes to my mind as I inhale the top notes. I can almost picture myself relaxing at a spa, lounging on a patio chair. Florals are defintely present when the fragrance first settles on your skin, but there's also a strong salty, almost mineral note that shines through and remains from the top to the bottom. Ylang-ylang imparts a creamy, relaxing facet while tiaré gives a gentle tropical vibe to the fragrance. Chinese magnolia is beautiful as it unfurls a floral, almost fruity note. Sandalwood shines through with a creamy accord, but it also has a bit of woodiness, like driftwood that has been soaked thoroughly by the salt of the sea. The ambergris in here is strong, yes, but it's also reminiscent of taking a dip in the sea while the sun is setting, soaking up the last rays of sunshine. The drydown is a sea salt and sand skin scent that follows closely the theme of this perfume.

Overall, this is the best fragrance I've smelled from the salt family of fragrances and I really do think it's a beautiful scent to have in your collection for warm weather and days at the beach. I'll be adding a full bottle to my collection as soon as I can.

Non-offensive freshie with below average staying power
I had high hopes for this one, as aquatic freshies are some of my favorite, but it just didn't live up to the mark for me. It's a slightly sweet, slightly metallic freshie that is perfectly unisex. The metallic/salty aspect feels toned down but that isn't a bad thing. My only real issue with this is longevity. I get maybe 2 hours of this on my skin, and I usually don't have a huge issue with performance. Even on my clothes or tester strips, it just seems to fade. I'm not even really able to get the base notes for that reason, and I think it makes the fragrance feel unfinished to me.

Coastal Hikin’
That’s what this reminds me of— standing on a cliff high above in the trees, everything soaked by a salty mist, looking down upon a roaring ocean. The scent doesn’t remind me of beach days but of beautiful yet aggressive waves that are unsafe to swim in.

It distinctly reminds me of hiking Olympic National Park in Washington and Point Lobos State Park in California. Both are very good memories I share with my mom and husband. Salty, woody, and so atmospheric. When I made the connection, I quickly purchased a full bottle.

The scent pulls a tad sharp on me, but it’s an oddly comforting sharpness? I perceive genuine oceanic smells as sharp too, so I suppose this makes sense.

Unfortunately, this one only lasts around 2-3 hours on me. I usually don’t have the longevity problem like others seem to have. Fragrances that people complain have poor longevity will easily last 5-6 hours on me, but this one does not. I have other EB fragrances, and they easily outlast this one.

This is a personal thing that I’m pretty sure the majority of folks won’t have an issue with— But the bottle gives me chills in a bad way. I have sensory processing issues, and that frosted, rough glass texture is really hard to deal with. Ultimately, not a big deal. Aesthetically, the bottle is lovely. I just hate grabbing it lol.

Regardless of its cons, I will absolutely repurchase. I’ve already put a dent into the 100ml bottle I bought a couple of months ago.

Clean Girl Summer
For me, this is a wonderful summer fragrance that I have never smelled before. For me, it has nothing of the beach or sun cream about it, the fragrance notes merge into a bright, clean, feel-good scent with a light floral note. Works every day. In the evening, I would combine it with an unsweet vanilla (such as Eau Duelle).

No summer fragrance but fall fragrance
"Salt" by Ellis Brooklyn surprised me. It was not what I expected. Right from the first spray, the sandalwood comes through strongly, cool, almost mystical, with an almost masculine vibe. Those who like sandalwood, like me, will probably really appreciate it. For me, this is not a summer fragrance! It's much more suited to fall or winter, when it's fresher outside.

I wore it one afternoon and the next morning I could still smell it on my skin. Super durability!

It stayed woody from start to finish. Sandalwood and ambergris are strongly noticeable, possibly some musk too. But I could never smell ylang ylang and tiare.

Interestingly, after smelling it on me, a man said: "Uhh, that would be something for me", a sign that it is perceived as unisex?

I'm looking forward to trying it again in the fall, but unfortunately it's not for me now in the summer.

An ode to the sea: a deep salty, mineral note accompanied by florals that have a gentle tropical vibe. Sunkissed sea salt skin!

smells like a fancy spa! fresh, with an undertone of warm incense. possibly a better room scent than a skin scent, very soothing and cozy.

Always find myself reaching for this when I want a soft, comforting scent. Reminds me of a beach walk; smelling the ocean and sand altogether.

Doesn't last long, which worked out great for me because it had a stinky note on my skin that churns my stomach a bit.

Sea salt and musk – a very simple fragrance, but really nice.
