saltar al cuello
Okay, here is the context sentence:
Estos olores mezcla de rosa, de tierra…que de repente me invade la nariz para saltarme mejor al cuello.
I got the feeling while translating this that saltarme al cuello is an idiom, and a google search seems to bear that out (saltar al cuello) but I can't find a page that's in English, and of course google's translation just says "jump to the neck." Anybody familiar with this one?

I did some researching and I do not think this is an idiom. Saltar al cuello should mean "to jump to/at the neck." Sometimes my mexican friends use cuello when they mean to say garganta. To me this says: These scents blend/mix that of Rose, of Earth....they suddenly invade my nose in order to better get at my throat." Liberties taken with translation. I may be wrong and I wouldn't have posted except that no one else did so... there ya go bud.
