Description
Sparkling and exhilarating.
A tribute to the hospitality of Corsica and to its vineyards, this fresh eau based on vine leaves and wine dregs extract is livened by citrus. A powdery breeze of iris and musks evokes the angel’s share. The depth of oak casks anchors it in the island’s terroir...

Marc-Antoine Corticchiato
Perfumer's Word
"I love the bond with the earth, with the terroir and its energy, expressed by Corsican vineyards. And I’ve always wanted to explore the connection between wines and fragrances. While composing SALUTE!, I was reminded of my grandfather who, like many farmers at the time, produced his own wine. He stocked it in huge demijohns in smoky glass covered with wicker, which he stored in his cellar. Hence the earthy notes of the fragrance. But I wanted them to be airy, to evoke the angels’ share. I also had to rein in an overdose of wine dreg extract, a material I love though it’s hard to control. I tamed it with sparkling Corsican citrus oils."
