BORNTOSTANDOUT Mud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Nathalie Lorson. Mud opens with Milk and Almond, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Rose, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Elemi. BORNTOSTANDOUT's Mud carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This 'Mud' is a perplexing enigma, a soft vanilla-chocolate gourmand that refuses to live up to its name. While many find it pleasant, its disappointing longevity and shy projection leave a lingering sense of unfulfilled potential.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its intimate projection and soft gourmand profile make it highly suitable for casual wear and office environments where it won't offend. The fleeting performance, however, limits its suitability for formal events or dates where a more impactful presence is desired.

About

Mud opens with a gentle wash of milky almond, quickly deepening into an intriguing heart of dark chocolate, rich plum, and a subtle rose. As it settles, a sweet, creamy vanilla embraces a balsamic elemi and smooth sandalwood, creating a skin-close, comforting finish. This is less about earthy grime and more about a delicate dessert, with a persistent soft warmth throughout.
