Clue Perfumery The Point Eau de Parfum 30 ml

Delicate jasmine tea collides with salt water, shattered porcelain, honey, and wet sand in Clue Perfumery's The Point Eau de Parfum, an unconventional aquatic fragrance that feels like a surreal tea party slowly disappearing beneath the ocean. Clue describes The Point with one wonderfully strange image: a cup of jasmine tea brewed with ocean water. Rather than creating the familiar clean, breezy interpretation of an aquatic perfume, Clue explores the mineral, floral, salty, and slightly uncanny qualities of the sea. The fragrance opens with what Clue Perfumery describes as a cartoon drawing of jasmine tea and crushed porcelain. Jasmine provides an airy floral-tea quality, while the porcelain accord introduces something cool, dry, and distinctly mineral. It is recognizable yet deliberately abstract, as though the fragrance is recreating the idea of a teacup rather than simply the tea inside it. At the heart, honey-soaked patchouli meets ocean water, creating an unexpected contrast between earthy sweetness and briny marine freshness. As the fragrance settles, ambergris and wet sand pull everything toward the shoreline, leaving behind a salty, mineralic impression of water receding across the beach. Created by independent Chicago fragrance house Clue Perfumery, The Point demonstrates the brand’s talent for turning surreal images and unexpected references into remarkably evocative fragrance. It is aquatic perfumery viewed through Clue’s wonderfully peculiar lens: jasmine tea, porcelain, honey, patchouli, seawater, and sand suspended somewhere between reality and imagination. Why You’ll Love It A highly original interpretation of an aquatic fragrance Jasmine tea provides a delicate floral and aromatic opening Crushed porcelain creates an unusual cool, mineralic quality Ocean water brings authentic salty and marine character Honey-soaked patchouli contrasts earthy sweetness against the sea Ambergris and wet sand create an atmospheric coastal drydown An intriguing alternative to conventional fresh or citrus-heavy marine fragrances Formulated, designed, and produced by independent fragrance house Clue Perfumery in Chicago Fragrance Profile Top Notes: A Cartoon Drawing of Jasmine Tea, Crushed Porcelain Heart Notes: Honey-Soaked Patchouli, Ocean Water Base Notes: Ambergris, Wet Sand Character: Mineralic, Bright, Oceanic The Point begins with jasmine tea, but even here Clue deliberately avoids straightforward realism. The official note is a "cartoon drawing of jasmine tea", suggesting an exaggerated, almost dreamlike interpretation of the familiar aroma. Crushed porcelain accompanies the tea with a cool, chalky mineral sensation. Together, they create the impression of a delicate cup and its contents translated simultaneously into fragrance. Then the ocean arrives. Honey-soaked patchouli introduces earthy sweetness as salty ocean water washes through the composition. Ambergris adds depth and marine warmth before wet sand completes the transformation, leaving the fragrance somewhere between a cup of tea and the shoreline. The result is floral and aquatic, but also earthy, mineralic, salty, and slightly surreal. The Story Behind The Point The Point finds fragrance in an intentionally impossible combination: jasmine tea brewed with ocean water. Rather than treating the ocean simply as a source of freshness, Clue explores its texture. There is salt in the water, minerals in porcelain, moisture in sand, and the peculiar warmth and depth associated with ambergris. Against those marine elements sits the civilized ritual of tea. Jasmine tea and a porcelain cup belong at a table. Ocean water and wet sand belong at the shoreline. Honeyed patchouli provides the strange bridge between these two worlds, allowing something refined and familiar to gradually become tidal and otherworldly. It is precisely the sort of olfactory contradiction that defines Clue Perfumery. Familiar objects and recognizable smells are pulled out of their expected surroundings and rearranged into something that could exist only as perfume.
