The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Oud Mint - The Green was created by Brahim Mohamed and launched in 2024 as part of MABRA PARFUMS' Essentielle Collection. The official description presents it as green, refreshing, and woody, with a relaxed mood that invites the wearer to slow down. Its composition brings together herbal freshness and woody depth, with mint and green tea lending a crisp, green character to the oud. The fragrance feels contemporary and easygoing, revealing a fresh aromatic profile that carries a subtle warmth beneath its cool surface. Mint adds a clean lift, while green tea introduces a leafy softness that complements the woody notes. Together, these elements create a balanced impression, suited to both women and men.
The unusual part is the balance. Mint and green tea bring a crisp, leafy clarity that makes the composition feel light and polished. Their herbal brightness softens the darker facets of oud without allowing the scent to lose its woody character. The fragrance develops gradually, with the cool freshness of mint gradually giving way to the gentler presence of green tea. Oud supplies a warm, dry depth that gives the composition structure, creating an aromatic contrast between clean green notes and smooth wood.
The evolution
The first impression is brisk and green, with mint giving the scent a crystalline freshness. Green tea then adds a softer, leafy quality, while Thai oud introduces a firmer woody line beneath it. The transition remains measured, with mint continuing to bring brightness into the darker wood. As the fragrance wears on, the initial sharpness takes on a smoother quality. Green tea and oud become more apparent, giving the composition a dry, aromatic character that is neither dense nor overpowering. The mint keeps the overall profile clear, while the woody notes lend warmth and depth. The result is a fresh green scent supported by a smooth oud trail, with each stage revealing a slightly different balance between herbal brightness and woody texture.
Cultural impact
Oud Mint - The Green offers a modern green treatment of oud, focusing on the material's fresh and aromatic side. Mint and green tea create a crisp contrast with its woody character, giving the composition an approachable, unisex profile. The fragrance presents oud with a lighter sensibility, making the note feel suited to everyday wear and inviting exploration beyond conventional expectations of heavier oud fragrances.
