Oud Minérale
Oud Minérale by Tom Ford is an unisex eau de parfum from 2017 in the luxury price tier. It opens with sea salt, pink pepper and juniper berry, moves into seaweed and oud and dries down to ambergris, pine and guaiac wood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Sea Salt Mineral and dry. Skin after a day at the beach.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Heart
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Dry-down
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Pine Sappy and bracing. Straightforwardly outdoorsy.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
