Critics have described it as ashen grey driftwood washed up on an empty shore, and the comparison lands. The marine notes here are mineral and briny rather than sweet or suntan-lotion tropical. If most oud fragrances feel like incense in a heavy interior, this one feels like weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow It Differs From Oud Wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOud Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e is the warm, smooth, spice-and-sandalwood oud, the house's approachable reference point, and one of the most-worn ouds in modern perfumery.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOud Minérale\u003c\/strong\u003e is the cold, saline, aquatic counterpart, the same wood placed in salt air instead of a cedar-lined room.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePick Oud Minérale\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want oud you can wear in summer heat, or if traditional ouds feel too heavy and sweet on you.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWoody\u003c\/strong\u003e: 51%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMarine\u003c\/strong\u003e: 49%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTranslation: an almost perfectly even split between wood and salt water, which is exactly the point of the composition.
