Minel
Fragrance notes
Character
Minel is for the person who wants a leather jacket to feel like a second skin rather than a costume. Lophiel built a composition that leans into texture and warmth, making it ideal for someone who prefers character over polish. The blend of Russian leather and amber creates a foundation that feels grounded and intimate, which is exactly what a wearer needs when the air turns crisp and the sky stays grey.
The opening pairs saffron and black currant with amber, giving the entrance a fruity heat that prevents the leather from feeling too dry. Rose and violet sit in the heart, adding a powdery softness that rounds the sharper edges of the hide. This floral touch keeps the scent from becoming strictly utilitarian, offering a nod to traditional perfumery while maintaining a rugged stance.
Patchouli and oakmoss in the base pull the fragrance toward the earth, reinforcing the animalic accord that defines its personality. Musk weaves through these heavier elements to ensure the transition between the bright top and the dark base feels continuous. It is a scent that suits those who enjoy smelling distinct and slightly untamed, though anyone seeking a clean or soapy finish will find it overwhelming.
The violet and rose provide just enough elegance to balance the rugged Russian leather.
