Salty Flower

I LOVE Salty Flower, it's basically my signature scent. It's unfortunately discontinued, but I loved it enough to track down 2 full size bottles and a bunch of samples so that I'll never be without it! It can be a little chemically, like a chlorine cleaner at first spritz. And I agree with powdery and sunblocky. However, after a few minutes this perfume basically turns into a luxurious beach resort commercial. I am instantly transported to a fancy hotel room on the water with fresh linens, the curtains blowing out the french doors that lead to the beach. The tiniest bit of salt off the ocean landing on your skin. It's not a "tropical" beach. There's no fruity coconuts or anything. It's a really fresh beach with seaweed, green grass growing up from the sand dunes... White linens, straw hats etc... I love this PARTICULARLY for hot & humid weather because it blends right in (or camouflages?) my own salty / sweaty body odor when I'm overheated. But it does eventually dry down into a creamy musk that could work for cooler weather too :) Salty Flower Forever!

Hey all, Bath and Body Works just released a new scent called "Coastal Dreaming" that is identical to VRSF. VRSF was one of my first "big girl" perfumes. I even drove to Canada to get a backup bottle when it became discontinued in the U.S. so of course I understand how special this scent is. I work at BBW and when i smelled Coastal Dreaming, i knew it was the same. I brought in my VRSF and compared them side by side. It is spot on! Accoring to BBW, there are only like 5 major 'scent manufactuerers' that produce all the perfumes for all the designers. BBW works with 3 of them. So it's very possible that BBW can access the exact same formulas and accords that Viktor & Rolf have used. (Like how BBW duped 'Flowerbomb' in their luxury collection.) Give it a try, it's lovely! Almost perfect 100% match, and a fraction of the price.

Review is for my own future reference - I LOVE the smell of this perfume. It reminds me of being a kid at Rickett's Lane/Ball Park Beach!! <3 It smells like you just got out of the water and you are cuddled up in your towel smelling your warm skin that has a mix of salty water and sunscreen, but in the best way possible. Thinking of boys on the beach :) I almost bought a full bottle on sale, but it sold out fast. It's overpriced, but I love it! You can really smell the saltiness. It smells so much like a memory to me. It could be unisex for sure. Smelling this again tonight.. OMG it's so friggin good, so damn yummy! Slightly masculine but def fem enough to wear. reminds me of being young on the beach wanting to snuggle up with a hottie. Why does this have to be so expensive and discontinued!? :(

My heart is broken. After finishing the prized 2mL sample I had gotten from Sephora (almost a decade ago now, wow), I finally found a relatively affordable (still extortionately high) bottle from a reseller. Some possibilities: that bottle I bought is fake, my nose has changed, or the bottle has gone off. In any case, Salty Flower, which I used to fantasize about as the ideal fragrance, now smells almost dusty to me. The white flower in my bottle has a strangely antique, almost grandmotherly quality that reminds me of Kenzo World Power. I wish I could go back to how this smelled to me a few years ago--which was sexy yet fresh, and creamy without being a gourmand.

I adore this fragrance and so does my husband. I found it only after it was discontinued. I also bought 2 samples sizes and 2 full size bottles, on Ebay, etc. so hopefully I never run out. It's the smell I have always been looking for. In the Hawaiian language there is a word and a name too, Moani, meaning "wind blown fragrance" and that is what this perfume reminds me of....refreshing trade winds blowing the fragrance of plumeria, tuberose and pikake over the water as you rest by the beach. I put it on and feel like a tropical goddess or a mermaid! It's funny how some people smell powder as I detest powdery fragrances.

I got a tiny sample from Sephora ages ago and loved it but it was so expensive. Now it’s discontinued and expensive on eBay. 😭 It doesn’t smell very beachy to me personally. When I get dressed up I like 1940’s/50’s style and I love this to go with. I notice mainly salty floral but in a classy sexy way. Like how I WISH Chanel smelled. It lasts forever on me so maybe someday I’ll splurge on a bottle. Also, to my nose, replica beach walk smells very similar to this however, it is an EDT, so it doesn’t have quite the richness and lasting power of salty flower.

I was introduced to salty fragrances by Wood sage and sea salt (WS&SS) from Jo Malone and I fell in love with the salt accord. This one does not disappoint and smells like.. well salty (sweet almost creamy) flowers. Tropical island, warm sands, salty sea breeze, flowers in your hair and around your neck. While WS&SS is fresh and light, Salty Flower is softer, creamier, sweeter (I could have sworn there was vanilla in it), with a surprising depth from ambroxan. It is quite lovely and definitely one that will go on holiday with me.

I do like the salt fragrances. Reveal and Olympéa Aqua Légère are favourites of mine. So this fits right in. Reveal is salty-fresh, Olympea is salty-sweet and this is salty-floral. Very unique and quite addictive. You get that little bit of tartness with the citrus but the florals really are the centerpiece. It does give a sense of tropical beach and vacation vibes. It feels a little Mugler in its jasmine. Really stunning.

Just got a bottle today, and I’m in love! If you’re a lover of tuberose, and salt this is a must have. It’s the perfect spring summer beach scent. Dry down is giving suntan lotion in the most beautiful way! Heard it doesn’t have much staying power, but worth it even for only 4-5 hours!! Back up bottle worthy!

Love this perfume so much!! It’s a spring/summer beachy scent with floral vibes!! Think tropical sea salt mixed with orange blossom and jasmin notes. Longevity is medium and sillage is light medium in my opinion. I need a full sized bottle!!

I adore this fragrance- beauty, salty, fresh, citrus. I get lots of compliments on this. Very nice in hot weather or any time you want to be uplifted out of winter. Love, love, love

I love this scent: sea salt, sun tan lotion and flowers. Absolutely lovely, really well balanced. Really fun, light easy to wear. Weekend and summer vibes. Nothing to dislike here.

This is wonderful stuff! A elegant salty, white floral fragrance. Truly unique, and a fragrance that could easily find it's way into someone's collection.

Ooh, I love this - it's just the ultimate salty beach scent. It's a lot like Replica Beach Walk, but even saltier. Just beautiful, vacation in a bottle.

VictoriaSmells is right...that coastal dreaming is the closest thing i’ve smelled to salty flower. a little sweeter but very similar

I cant believe there's no coconut in this. It smells like a dominant note to me

This smells just like tanning oil on skin and I like it a lot

This is a "perfumey" perfume, if you get what I'm saying. It's a well-composed scent, rather than an agglomeration of notes. For a floral, the flowers are not in your face. It actually has a more gourmand feel, but... it's not. I think it must be the salt and frangipani that give me that feel. I think it is well-executed as a scent that doesn't give a single "note" great weight, but has a general "feel" - there's that word again. If you want to force notes out of me, fine: I get a salty, ocean on my skin after laying out (but NOT a sunscreen/coconut) dry down. I can't say its a stunner, but maybe a sleeper fragrance. Something that forms beautifully over hours. It is well-composed, unified, cohesive. Honestly, it surprised me that I like it based on the note descriptions. This is more of a "going out for the evening" scent to me - a bit sexy, kind of comforting, and probably too much for most offices. Although there is a touch of freshness to it and perhaps on the right skin, someone could pull it off in the office after dry down.

Beach lingerie. The sea salt projects at arm’s length from the skin, and the frangipani a handspan, which makes for an interesting personal experience. The ambroxan base augments the ocean notes brilliantly. Lasts all day on the skin and until the tide turns on clothes.

Lovely salty beach vibe. Does have that tanning smell but not coconut. I really like it, don’t love it. Ends up being more of a skin scent on me after 4-5 hours. If the performance was better I would probably purchase.
