Mineral Notes in perfumery refer to a group of aromas that evoke the sense of fresh, clean, and earthy elements, reminiscent of wet stones, sea breeze, and rain on concrete. These scents are often abstract and synthetic, crafted to convey the feeling of natural minerals and earthy textures. Unlike traditional fragrance notes derived from plants or animals, Mineral Notes are a modern creation. They are used to add an unconventional, often avant-garde aspect to fragrances. This category of scent can include saline and metallic tones, often employed to give a fragrance an airy, open, and natural character. Mineral Notes are particularly prevalent in fragrances that aim to capture the essence of nature, the ocean, or urban landscapes. They bring a unique freshness and lightness to compositions, complementing and enhancing other notes, especially in Aquatic and Fresh fragrance families.
Natural or Synthetic?
Mineral Notes are generally synthetic in nature as they are designed to replicate the smell of natural elements that cannot be directly extracted or distilled, such as wet stone or sea air.
