A Maritime Rendezvous in Oceania
Oud Minerale. A name that I initially couldn't quite grasp. A brief anecdote first:
I first smelled it over a year ago at a friend's place. I hadn't sprayed any fragrance on myself, but he offered me to try his latest acquisition, Oud Minerale. We were out in the evening and later went to a shisha bar. And what can I say, even though in the shisha bar more clouds of smoke and scent collide than barley with malt in a brewery, it was constantly present. Oud Minerale found its way to my nose at all times. I was fascinated. The next morning, I aired out my sweater because I find the cold smoke that collects in clothes repulsive. But what remained after airing it out? Right, Oud Minerale.
So much for that. From that moment on, I wanted to have the scent always, but I was always too stingy to pay the price for it. But times have changed; after all, I am now a Parfumo member ;-) (my poor wallet) and now I am a proud owner of a bottle.
Upon spraying, the scent immediately opens with a refreshment reminiscent of a sea breeze. It's hard to describe what happens here. On one hand, it's aquatic and fresh, while on the other, it's also salty, peppery, and woody. This combination is unique and I am not familiar with anything like it. Especially for Tom Ford, it's often hit or miss, but this one truly appeals to almost everyone.
The longevity is really enormous for me, and for hours on end, I can inhale a hint of vacation. Especially in the current times, it's a privilege not to be underestimated.
The sillage is good; you are definitely noticed, but it's also not too intrusive to wear it in the office.
It's really a shame that TF has been discontinued, but all the better to finally have it in my possession.

Great comment! I can only confirm it, every time I wear this scent, I feel like I'm walking along the Côte d'Azur at the beach. Women love this fragrance.
