Mineral Black
Fragrance notes
Character
Mineral Black opens with cardamom, nutmeg, and pink pepper placed against a bright strip of grapefruit. The spices feel dry and textured rather than hot, and the citrus keeps them lifted without turning sharp. It moves quickly into a heart built around leather and cashmere wood, with patchouli and lavender filling the space between them. The leather reads clean and matte, not oily, while the cashmere wood rounds the edges so the spices do not scrape. Lavender adds a soft herbal layer that keeps the leather from feeling too severe, and patchouli grounds the middle with an earthy weight that deepens the entire structure.
Vetiver and tonka bean form the base alongside ambergris and oakmoss. The vetiver brings a green, rooty dryness that pulls the earlier spices downward, while tonka bean adds a smooth sweetness that never becomes heavy. Ambergris lends a mineral, slightly salty warmth, and oakmoss reinforces the green earthiness already present in the patchouli. The combination stays aromatic and woody with a clear fresh spicy thread running through it, and the warm spicy accord sits just beneath the surface.
The overall impression is masculine and composed, suited to a cool morning when the air feels crisp and the light stays low. It works best on skin that can carry the leather and the green vetiver together, because the balance depends on those two elements staying visible at once. Sweetness from the tonka bean and ambergris keeps the leather approachable, while the oakmoss and patchouli prevent the spices from floating too far upward, so the fragrance remains anchored in its woody, earthy
