Mineral Notes
Mineral notes are unique fragrance components that evoke the fresh, clean scent of stones, wet rocks, and mineral-rich earth. Their scent profile is cool, subtle, and slightly salty or metallic, adding an intriguing, natural touch to perfumes. Mineral notes impart a crisp, airy quality to compositions and are often used as middle or base notes to provide a modern, refined depth. They blend well with ozonic, aquatic, and green notes, contributing to fragrances that feel fresh, sophisticated, and reminiscent of the outdoors.
History & Production: Mineral notes in perfumery are typically created using synthetic molecules designed to mimic the cool, subtle scent of minerals and rocks. The inclusion of mineral notes became more popular with the rise of contemporary and niche perfumery, where the goal was to push the boundaries of traditional fragrance profiles and introduce new, nature-inspired elements. These notes are appreciated for their ability to bring a unique, modern aspect to perfumes, adding an earthy, airy, and subtly metallic layer that complements and enhances other components in a fragrance.
