Fragrance Classification
Fourteen fragrances sort into five broad fragrance families. Start with the one that draws you in, then explore from there.
Start With the Character That Draws You In
Fourteen fragrances can be a lot to take in at once. Instead of asking you to read every profile before choosing where to begin, this guide starts with something simpler: what kind of fragrance catches your attention?
Woody, Floral, Amber & Gourmand, Fresh & Citrus, or Chypre & Powdery. These five broader groups are designed as a starting point, helping you find a few fragrances worth exploring more closely.
How These Fragrance Families Work
Each State of Mind fragrance has its own official olfactive family, defined by the Maison. The groups below are broader reading categories, created to make the collection easier to navigate at first glance.
They are not replacements for the official classifications. Each fragrance card shows its specific family, along with its tea pairing and notes, so you can move from a general impression to the details when something catches your attention.
These five groups are broader ways to explore the collection, based on the dominant character of each fragrance. They are not the Maison’s official fragrance families. Each fragrance keeps its own specific classification, shown on its card below, so you can move from a first impression to the details when something catches your attention.
