Description
Salm by One Day is a woody fragrance that delves into themes of heritage and natural elements, drawing inspiration from Korean culture and traditional Hanok villages. It opens with a distinctive blend of ginseng, pine, ginger, and cypress, creating a fresh yet rooty and spicy introduction. As it develops, notes of incense, cedarwood, and patchouli emerge, lending a polished woodiness and an earthy depth. The fragrance settles into a warm and resinous base of Peru balsam, vetiver, and sandalwood, evoking the scent of old wooden structures and ancient roots, with a calm and confident presence.
