What does Oud Minérale smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good. Many recommend it for spring, fall and summer, far fewer for winter, and leisure, daily and business wear lead the occasions. Most voters call it masculine, though modern and classic votes are not far behind.

The notes read as one piece rather than in layers: fir balsam and marine notes bring coolness, oud and styrax add a smoky, earthy depth, pink pepper adds a touch of spice, and musk and ambergris soften it all. The Dua Brand Aoud & Minerals and Ramasat Mayyas have a close profile.
