Note Profile

Mineral

About

Cold stone indoors. A dry, dusty mineral impression with a faint metallic edge, closer to a still hallway than to rain on a pavement.

Scent Profile

Mineral is the note, and both sources lead with it: "cold mineral, slightly dusty, faintly metallic", "sharp, mineral, and invigorating". Powdery is the dust, the second word in the only marble-specific description found and the thing that separates a stone surface from a stone. Below the naming line but load-bearing: aquatic_ozonic for the "damp-cool edge" Premiere Peau lists, held down rather than up because the marble-specific evidence is dry and indoor and the wet-rock language belongs to the broader Stone entry. Aldehydic is the "faintly metallic" - this vocabulary has no metallic facet, and the published metal note routes that impression through mineral with a small aldehydic lift, so this follows it. Amber_resinous and dry_woody are Mimya's "subtle chalky, dry amber, and abstract woody undertones", clean_musk the quiet clean-room quality, earthy the "clean, zesty, and earthy contrast" of the flint reference, and cooling_mentholic the cold, which is a temperature and not a menthol so it stays small.

Read off the wheel, not a label applied to the note.

Origin

Marble has no extractable odour and no captive molecule is published under the name. Mimya says it plainly for the wider stone family: "Origin: Synthetic (Not found in nature)", "typically created using synthetic molecules to capture the scent of wet rocks, salty air, or damp concrete". The referent is metamorphosed limestone, calcite and dolomite - Premiere Peau writes "Calcite and dolomite compressed over millennia -- architecture as scent". So the note is an assembled impression of a surface, built from cool-mineral materials, chalky-dusty materials and a small ozonic lift, and its job is to suggest architecture.

Usage in Perfumery

A structural mineral note. It gives cold, dry, quiet space to compositions that would otherwise read warm, and it is used in the same architectural register as concrete and chalk rather than in the wet-stone register of pebbles or cobblestone.
