Fasten Your Senses: Concorde by Salle Privée
© Sigurd Magnor Killerud
Before Concorde was a perfume, it was the sound of possibility—a supersonic dream that could carry you across the Atlantic faster than the sunset. Now, Salle Privée reimagines that same velocity and thrill in a scent: Concorde Eau de Parfum.
It doesn’t just evoke travel; it feels like movement. An olfactory machine of gold panels and velvet seats, of perfectly shaken cocktails served midair, of distance conquered without breaking a sweat. But this isn’t nostalgia. It’s not about retro glamour. Concorde is forward-facing: loud, rich, and utterly unafraid.

Cabin Pressure: Whiskey and Voltage
The opening lands with force. A double-shot of whiskey—warm, volatile, a little reckless—immediately commands attention. Juniper, pink pepper, and black pepper sharpen the edges, giving that punchy, spicy vibration that might remind you of walking through an airport terminal in a well-cut coat, knowing all eyes are on you. It’s extroverted but not crass. Think private lounge, not duty free.
This top is all attitude, and it’s addictive. If perfumes had afterburners, this would be it.
Altitude Luxe: Velvet, Wood, and Smoke
As the flight levels off, Concorde drifts into its heart—deep, plush, and tactile. Tobacco and saffron form the spine, textured with cashmere wood, guaiac wood, and vetiver. These notes feel like materials: soft gold threads, dark woods, aged leather armrests. There’s a weight to it, but also something disarming. The scent isn't just smoky; it's smoked, like a memory or a whisper from behind a curtain.
It’s a clever interplay between structure and softness, masculinity and elegance. It’s not neutral; it’s nuanced.
Landing Gear: Oud, Amber, and a Dirty Wink
As Concorde approaches its drydown, the atmosphere thickens. Amber, sandalwood, leather, agarwood, and benzoincombine to form something dense and lasting—rich without being syrupy, seductive without needing to shout. There’s something slightly dirty here, in the best way possible: a raw note that keeps it from becoming too polished, too sanitized.
It’s in this final stage that Concorde becomes most “Salle Privée”: luxurious but intellectual, refined but not conventional. The finish lingers like the feel of heavy curtains or the memory of a hotel you stayed in once and never quite forgot.
Next Stop: The Village You've Never Been To
You don’t need to cross oceans to experience something transformative. Concorde is a reminder that elegance and adventure are states of mind—available not just in the back of a limousine but in a café an hour from home, in a village you've passed a hundred times but never entered.
Book a train. Get in the car. Take the long way there. Wear Concorde not to impress, but to expand the moment. Let it trail behind you as you explore unfamiliar streets or sip espresso on a square you’ve never noticed. The jetset life isn’t about distance. It’s about intent.
Sometimes the most luxurious destination is the one that requires no passport—just presence, and the right scent.
