Mud

Mud in detail

Mud is a fragrance by Born To Stand Out, a Korean house founded by Jun Lim, which the page attributes to Nathalie Lorson. The house draws on the first rain on sunbaked ground, when dark chocolate seems to melt into the damp soil; the page gives neither the year, nor the concentration, nor a family, which Volute files among gourmands.

At the top, almond milk gives a milky softness. In the heart, chocolate, Turkish rose and plum form a dark, fruity accord. In the base, amber, elemi essence, sandalwood and vanilla make up a warm base. According to the house, the smell of wet earth and a green touch open the composition.

Mud is worn in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening. It is an earthy, singular gourmand, for those who love chocolates without too much sugar.

Three niche gourmands in our catalogue share some of its materials: Indecent Cherry, from the same house, and Royal Vanilla by Mancera bring together rose, amber and vanilla; Lost Cherry by Tom Ford pairs rose and sandalwood.
