Oud Minérale Eau de Parfum

This is a bold, avant-garde woody aquatic fragrance that is unlike any other "beach" scent.

• Key Notes:

  • Top Notes: The opening is a bracing, ozonic burst of Sea Salt and Pink Pepper. It's cold, sharp, and immediately evocative of a windswept, misty shore.

  • Heart Notes: The core of the fragrance is where the magic happens. A unique, "Mineral Accord" mimics the smell of wet stones and petrichor. This is blended with the signature Oud, but here it's stripped of its warmth. It feels damp, smoky, and slightly medicinal, like oud-infused driftwood washed up on the beach.

  • Base Notes: The fragrance settles into a deep, resonant base of Vanilla Absolute, Sandalwood, and Seaweed. The vanilla is not sweet; it provides a creamy, smooth texture that contrasts with the cold mineral notes. The seaweed adds a authentic, damp, and slightly earthy marine quality that anchors the entire composition.

How it Wears:

• Scent Profile: Cold, mineral, smoky, and aquatic.

• The Experience: The first spray is an intense, almost challenging wave of cold saltwater and ozone. It is stark and realistic. As it settles, the smoky, damp oud emerges, creating a fascinating contrast between the mineral and woody notes. The dry-down is smoother, with the vanilla and sandalwood providing a subtle warmth that keeps the fragrance from being too austere. It is a scent that evolves dramatically on the skin.

• Longevity & Sillage: Excellent. This is a powerful and long-lasting Eau de Parfum with strong projection, especially in its opening stages. It leaves a memorable, atmospheric trail.

The Bottle:

Housed in Tom Ford's signature Private Blend decanter, the bottle is a heavy, opaque grey-bluish glass that mimics the color of the deep, stormy sea. The design is sleek and minimalist, with the Tom Ford logo embossed in a matching tone. The silver-accented cap adds a cool, metallic touch, reinforcing the mineral theme. The overall look is modern, luxurious, and perfectly captures the scent's cold, aquatic soul.

Who is it for?

• Audience: A sophisticated unisex fragrance for those who seek something unique and intellectual. It appeals to minimalists, artists, and anyone who loves atmospheric, non-sweet scents.

• Occasion: Perfect for cool weather and rainy days. Its cold, dramatic character makes it an exceptional choice for autumn and winter. It is a statement scent for those who want to stand out and appreciate avant-garde perfumery.

• The Wearer: Someone who is confident, introspective, and has a deep appreciation for art and nature. The wearer of Oud Minérale is not looking for a crowd-pleaser but for a wearable experience that tells a story.
