2021: the world took its first breath of Open Mind State of Mind. A unisex fragrance from the green, wood, and fruit families. Perfumer Karine Dubreuil is the author behind this composition. By character, it falls into the drinks, wood, and fruit groups. Available as eau de parfum.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. Apply 2-3 sprays whether on skin or fabric — it works equally well either way. The longevity is high — this one will stay with you for the long haul. Made in France. Open Mind State of Mind 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
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Open Mind unfolds as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The signature of State of Mind is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
In the first seconds you meet sparkling citrus top notes: Lime and Melon. Exactly these 2 notes build sunny vitality that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
When the opening settles you meet Crithmum, Green Tea and Hinoki holding a velvety sandalwood direction.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Wood with each one in a clear role. The profile is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In wear duration High indicates a stable lasting impression.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Drinks, Fruit, Wood and Citrus. It also reaches into Floral, Earthy / Mossy and Green.
Taken together Open Mind reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
