Open Mind EVOY — a fragrance with a free spirit
Open Mind is an eau de parfum from the Russian niche fragrance house EVOY, released in 2023.
This unisex fragrance is created for those who appreciate expressive compositions without a strict association with traditionally masculine or feminine scents.
Woody, floral, and oriental nuances come together in its character, creating a multifaceted and memorable impression.
The name Open Mind sets a distinctive mood for the composition: openness to new experiences, bold combinations, and unconventional interpretations of familiar notes.
This fragrance does not aim to go unnoticed: according to its positioning, it has a very strong sillage and will appeal to those who enjoy making perfume a noticeable part of their overall look.
The composition's pyramid and character
The formula of Open Mind features bergamot, birch, frankincense, ice, lavender, rose, salt, grey amber, and vetiver.
Fresh citrus and mineral accents meet cool green facets, smoky balsamic nuances, floral softness, and dry woody depth.
The note pyramid is not divided in the available database into top, heart, and base accords, so the composition is best understood as a complete olfactory landscape.
On the skin, the fragrance may come across as fresh, cool, resinous, and slightly salty at the same time, while its woody-vetiver base adds focus and enduring character.
The perfumer and EVOY's style
Open Mind was created by Tatiana Naumova.
Her work is built around contrast: bright citrus and mineral nuances stand alongside frankincense, grey amber, birch, and vetiver, allowing the fragrance to sound dimensional rather than revolving around a single recognizable note.
For EVOY, this release continues the direction of contemporary niche perfumery, where emotional impact matters just as much as broad appeal.
Open Mind feels like an olfactory experience: it can emphasize individuality, bring a sense of composure to an overall look, and leave behind a distinctive trail.
When and for whom Open Mind is suitable
The fragrance works well in cool weather and for evening occasions, walks, meetings, or events where you want to make an impression.
Mineral-salty and citrus nuances make it intriguing for daytime wear, while frankincense, amber, birch, and vetiver add depth as the day unfolds.
Because of its very strong sillage, Open Mind should be tested on the skin, starting with a small number of sprays.
The available information does not specify an exact dosage for skin or clothing, so the ideal amount is best determined individually, taking temperature, season, and personal sensitivity to intense fragrances into account.
Similar fragrances to explore
If you enjoy woody, oriental, and mineral compositions with a pronounced character, consider Tom Ford Reserve collection Arabian Wood.
