2016: the world took its first breath of Affecting Mind M.INT. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the spicy and wood families. Perfumer Elise Benat left a distinct mark on this composition. From the Purple collection; released as eau de parfum.
Produced in Italy, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Affecting Mind M.INT unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Affecting Mind evolves as a living composition, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of M.INT is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Spicy, Wood, Fruit and Ambery. The palette also extends to Leather and Musk. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Spicy and Wood.
As soon as the fragrance opens you meet spicy sparkling opening notes: Cardamom, Ginger and Sesame.
In the heart you notice Cedar, Hazelnut and Vetiver carrying a spicy-woody direction.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Musc and Wood with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Amber, Leather and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In summary Affecting Mind sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best understood through real development.
