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
The register is quiet but alert: lingering in a museum room as the last visitors leave, surrounded by varnished wood and worn leather. Mint tea cuts through the suggestion of old canvas, giving the woody atmosphere a precise, contemporary edge rather than a nostalgic softness.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring or autumn weather, when the mint-tea freshness and woody depth can share the foreground. Start with one or two sprays on skin; a restrained application suits the contrast between crisp green notes and oud. In warmer conditions, apply lightly rather than layering heavily.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy green, tea-led fragrances but want more texture beneath the freshness. It also suits oud enthusiasts drawn to contrasts: mint against wood, airy clarity against suggestions of leather and old canvas, rather than overt sweetness.

The nose
Brahim Mohamed is MABRA’s self-taught founder and perfumer. His practice draws on extensive reading, research and personal experience, favouring independent creative exploration over externally imposed briefs. In Oud Mint, he pairs the refreshing clarity of mint tea with the contrasting textures of two Thai ouds.
Mabra’s story
MABRA approaches perfume as an independent, small-batch craft shaped by its creator’s experiences and curiosity. Fragrances are assembled, bottled and packaged by hand in its French workshop, with an emphasis on quality materials, individuality and artisanal production.
Oud Mint’s concept
Oud Mint centres on the contrast between frothy mint tea and the floral, woody character of Trat and Prachin oud from Thailand. The accompanying imagery evokes a museum after closing: old paintings, polished parquet and leather benches, with the tea sharpening the edges of this enclosed, richly textured world.
Extra info
The official name is Oud Mint – The Green, and it belongs to MABRA’s Collection Essentielle. Its composition distinguishes two Thai ouds by name—Trat and Prachin—rather than presenting oud as a single undifferentiated note.
