BEST SALTY & WATERY PERFUMES OF 2025 | ELLE

A savory skin musk enriched with mineral accents that soothe the soul like rain cascading through humid skies. 

Condensation sliding down a glass of suero, while restorative elements of Mexican lime and sea salt refresh the senses. Two sages—one cultivated, one wild—release their calming scents as temperatures rise. As day turns to evening, labdanum and fir balsam capture the lingering warmth, while amber and musk melt into the skin, Native ocote pine whispering from beyond concrete walls.
