Teo Cabanel Peau Salée by Olya Bar
Uncomplicated. Summer. Cool. That’s how I describe Teo Cabanel Peau Salée, a new fragrance created in collaboration with MODETROTTER and composed by Patrice Revillard. The partnership is a union of approachable and modern fragrances with a Parisian fashion brand that breaks from traditional style codes, creating clothes that fit the contemporary lifestyle without limits and misconceptions. Teo Cabanel Peau Salée was born from the desire of Marie Courroy, founder of MODETROTTER, to capture the sun, the salt, the sea, and holiday memories in a bottle. I have written about Teo Cabanel perfumes over the past few years because I adore the relaxed, free-spirited approach the house takes when creating fragrances. Every new release is effortless to wear and always captures the most memorable moments that are universally easy to relate to. Easy. Modern. Well-tailored.

Like a simple summer dress silhouette made out of naturally breathable fabric, Teo Cabanel’s Peau Salée reflects the careless “feel good” summer memory. It’s the run through the sandy dunes as soon as you step into the summer house and throw your shoes off. It’s a feeling of the ocean waves gently washing away the worries of busy city life. It’s salt on your skin in the sun, wet hair full of sand. A comforting scent of the beach house you have been coming to every summer in the Hamptons since you were a kid. The sunscreen’s familiar trajectory of coconut warmth on bronzed skin, a touch of saltiness from spending all day splashing in the ocean, and a soft floral bouquet lingering nearby.

When I think of summer in New York, I always crave the soft mineral whiff of Long Island, the anticipation of getting out of town and driving towards the lighthouses Montauk is populated with. I think of a small beach house filled with light, perched high above the sand dunes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The proximity to the salty ocean makes the whole house smell of driftwood. That’s where Peau Salee by Teo Cabanel transports me to, capturing the longing for summer you can dip into amid gray days of winter, the idea of fragrance for “salty skin” all year round.

Peau Salée starts off with a splash of coconut with salty undertones. You won’t get a fleshy, creamy coconut here. This is a refreshing sip of cold coconut water to quench your thirst on the beach. The floral creaminess and warmth unfold as you get to the heart of frangipani and jasmine. This tropical union is toned down with the minerality of the base and the composition isn’t overwhelmed by frangipani, which usually tend to take over. It retains an airy attitude throughout without ever weighing down on you. The base is structured with a slightly nutty cream of tonka and smells like skin after a long summer day with a trace of suntan lotion. Transparency. Modernity. Simplicity. These three words come to mind when it comes to Peau Salée.
Notes: Coconut water, Fleur de sel, Frangipani, Jasmine, Driftwood, Tonka cream, Mineral notes
The perfume was kindly gifted to me but opinions are always my own.
