The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Tom Ford and crafted by perfumer Shyamala Maisondieu, Oud Minérale is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that juxtaposes the deep richness of oud with the crisp freshness of marine accords. The composition opens with salty, aromatic notes that evoke the briny edge of the sea before giving way to a warm amber and woody base. This contrast creates an intriguing tension between earthy complexity and aquatic clarity, making it a compelling unisex scent for those who appreciate both sophistication and freshness.
Oud Minérale's marine top notes are fleeting but impactful, so apply it in layers for a longer-lasting effect. The woody base takes about an hour to fully bloom on skin, making it ideal for those who prefer a scent that evolves throughout the day rather than announcing itself from afar.
