Description
Tom Ford Oud Minerale EDP 50ml is an intriguing addition to Tom Ford’s fragrance collection, blending rich oud notes with fresh, marine-inspired elements. Initially launched in 2017, this fragrance is an evocative fusion of woody, salty, and aquatic scents that give it a unique and refreshing character. Oud Minerale is especially perfect for those who enjoy a darker, more intense oud scent but are seeking something with a lighter, more versatile edge.
Opening with a vibrant burst of seaweed and saltwater, it offers an immediate oceanic vibe, reminiscent of coastal breezes and sunlit shores. These marine notes are beautifully balanced by subtle pink pepper, adding a slight spicy kick to the fragrance’s otherwise fresh and salty composition. The oud in this fragrance, while present, is not overpowering but rather softened, allowing fir and driftwood to stand out, giving a sense of weathered, waterlogged wood in the middle stages. The dry down reveals a more profound ambergris, seaweed, and salt combination, with oud taking a more central role.
Despite its oceanic overtones, Oud Minerale retains the rich, woody qualities typical of Tom Ford, offering depth without heaviness. The fragrance is ideal for warmer climates, making it an excellent choice for spring and summer, though it can be enjoyed year-round. While Oud Minerale’s marine essence gives it a lighter, more casual feel, its long-lasting longevity and impressive projection ensure it leaves a lasting impression. The scent is versatile, suitable for both professional and casual occasions, but it may not be the best option for evening or intense nightlife events.
Fans of marine fragrances will appreciate the unique blend of aquatic and oud elements, but the fragrance may not be for everyone. It caters particularly to those who enjoy oceanic scents with a rich, woody backdrop, making it a niche option that could become a signature scent for the right wearer. Given its strong sillage and impressive performance, Oud Minerale offers great value, particularly for those seeking a refined yet refreshing fragrance
