by Amouroud
Wet Stone by Amouroud is a crisp, mineral-rich fragrance that captures the essence of wet stone and sea air, with a bright citrus opening of bergamot and lemon, enhanced by sea salt and a subtle spice from ginger and cardamom. The heart unfolds with aromatic, woody, and saline notes, including mineral accords, sage, and vetiver, while the base layers of agarwood (oud), ambergris, cedar, and patchouli create a warm, slightly smoky drydown with naturalistic depth. Its perfume profile leans heavily on aquatic and petrichor-like qualities, evoking the freshness of ocean rocks after a storm. The scent is intensely long-lasting and maintains moderate to strong sillage, making it ideal for daytime wear in spring and summer. It feels unisex but tends to lean more masculine on skin, with a bold, clean, and slightly synthetic character that some find refreshingly minimal, while others perceive it as overly discreet or occasionally veering into a subtly feminine woody-amber drydown. Overall, it's a high-quality fragrance with performance that exceeds expectations for its profile, especially when compared to heavier fragrances in the same category.
