Wistful and elegant
I think of this as a vintage perfume for people who don’t usually like vintages. It’s accessible without being boring. It’s retro without feeling stuffy or obsolete. If you tend to shy away from animalic notes, give this one à chance. It’s barely noticeable and it blends so well with the white florals that it gives the perfume the right amount dimension.
This perfume doesn’t shout, it whispers. The sillage is intimate and soft, and to me, that makes it an ideal scent for sleep.
Tragedy has a melancholy feeling - similar to the smell before the rain. Tragedy has the type of beauty that Edgar Allen Poe gives to the heroines of his poems.
I have seen others compare it to Robert Piguet’s “Fracas.” To me personally, this feels like it belongs in the same genre as Regime des Fleurs’ “Tears” and Etat Libre d’Orange’s “Jasmin et Cigarette.” Even though they smell very different, I would also recommend Tragedy to fans of Universal Flowering’s “Heliotrope Milkbath.”

Subversively sweet and sweetly subversive
This blind buy did not disappoint! The plastic note is gentle and the composition is well balanced.
If you love the scent of Parma Violet candies like I do, then this perfume will be the closest you can get. I would recommend it to fans of Guerlain’s “Insolence”.
I love the theme and inspiration behind it, and Marissa Zappas has pulled it off very well.
As someone who is very pro-low sillage, the sillage is intimate without compromising performance.

Not for everyone, but perfect for the animalic lover who knows who they are.
This is as bold and rich as you can get. I’ve sampled animalics before: Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez, Carnicure by Marlou, Tabu by Dana. Salome blows them all out of the water to me.
That’s not to say it’s a crowd pleaser. It is a challenging perfume, especially if you are new or uncomfortable with vintage animalics. Think of it as a rich, greasy meal: you have to be hungry and in the mood for it for it to be enjoyable. But for those who know what it is and stand by it, this is the best you can get.
Like a confident, powerful, and polarizing woman, Salome does not shrink or compromise.
