Dune Road is: Summer walks. Crisp ocean breeze. Foamy Sand. Whispers of herbs, wildflowers and sea grass from a distance. Ethereal, captivating and hazy pleasures. With top notes of absinthe, cardamom and ozone; middle notes of marine notes, salt, sea grass, seaweed and driftwood; and base notes of vetiver, cedarwood and musk. Dune Road is an eau de parfum, edp.
Fragrantica: Pronounced watermelon note at the open. Transitions to a well-balanced and evocative marine scent, with an emphasis on the salty and algal aspects, but done with restraint and artistry. Pleasant to have on the skin throughout its development.
Fragrantica: Great release by MiN New York. I would describe Dune Road as a very refreshing green fragrance. In the opening I get the smell of freshly cut grass and wet soil. Then, once the fragrance sets, a very soft earthy vetiver comes into play. I also get a cucumber/melon aroma throughout the life of the fragrance, probably attributed to Calone.
Fragrantica: This cologne is very unique. I appreciate when a fragrance takes you on a journey to something new and different. Imagine walking on a beach after it rains. You can smell the salty water from the waves. The breeze starts to come in from the east after the rain storm. I can smell some type of tree or bushes in the background. This lasts a very long time; I can still smell this after 8 hours.
Fragrantica: Many perfumes out there are trying to dramatize a moment in a specific place or time. But the successful ones are very few and Dune Road is one of them for sure. This fragrance is right to the point; a scent of humid seaside and its salty breeze. Wet wooden deck and seaweed. Dune Road is very moist and fresh. It has a kind of salty sour smell. Reminds me of an algae salad I ate in a Japanese restaurant once. A realistic scent of seashore. Unique and suitably wearable.
Fragrantica: The Hamptons’ Dune Road is home to a stretch of oceanfront properties where verdant knolls and sand dunes converge. This scent aims to capture that environment by placing grass notes against a musky, salty backdrop. This is mainly grass, verging on more botanical blue grass kind of notes (cedar leaf, armoise etc.) against a marine backdrop that renders the scent as a shade of gray/teal. Vetiver is present, but subdued, and a botanical musk lends an airy quality to produce a fairly conceivable image of a beachfront space.
