A night at the museum: locked in with old oil paintings, caveman dioramas, polished parquet floors and upholstered leather benches. Two different ouds, Trat and Prachin, intertwine in an insinuating suggestion of leather, canvas, minerals and exhaled breath. A frothy mint tea note sharpens up the edges.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close, quiet spaces where the air feels textured rather than open: a room of wood, leather and old paper, with a cool breath of mint cutting through the stillness. It projects a thoughtful, restrained presence that feels intimate rather than loud.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where its mint-tea brightness can stay crisp and the oud can unfold without turning dense. Apply lightly to let the green notes lead first; on skin it reads airy and mineral, while in the air it settles into a smooth woody trail with a fresh, leathery edge.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like oud but prefer it refined, green and breathable rather than dark or resinous. It will appeal to people drawn to tea notes, aromatic freshness and woody compositions with a cool, slightly tactile finish.

The nose
Brahim Mohamed is the creator perfumer behind Mabra Parfums, a house that works in small-batch, hand-finished production in France. His role here is central: Oud Mint reflects the brand’s artisanal approach, balancing natural freshness with the depth and texture of oud. The fragrance sits comfortably within the contemporary oud tradition that treats the material as a structure rather than a blunt statement. Here, Mohamed shapes it into something greener and more breathable, using mint and tea to sharpen the composition and keep the woods luminous rather than heavy.
Mabra’s story
Mabra Parfums positions itself at the meeting point of French fine perfumery and oriental identity, with an emphasis on handcrafted production, sustainable values and natural ingredients. The house works in France and presents fragrance as an artisanal object, with a focus on quality, texture and material honesty.
Oud Mint’s concept
Oud Mint was created as a green-woody interpretation of oud, built around the contrast between cool tea freshness and the tactile depth of two oud materials. The composition evokes an unusual interior scene: polished wood, leather, canvas and mineral air, with the mint tea note acting like a bright current running through the darker materials.
Extra info
The name points directly to the contrast at the heart of the scent: oud made fresher by mint. The composition uses two oud materials, Trat and Prachin, to create a layered woody effect rather than a single heavy oud accord.
