ABOUT

Stone is a mineral accord that suggests cool slate, wet pavement, and sun-warmed river pebbles; it smells clean, dry-salty, faintly metallic and flinty, with airy ozonic dampness and a soft chalky dust. Perfumers build it from woody-amber molecules, clean musks, ozonic and saline facets, and occasional smoky or petrichor nuances to add modern dryness, texture, and spaciousness—used in aquatics, fresh fougères, and woody structures, or to mineralize citrus and florals.
