World of Perfume
Every tea scented perfume in this collection starts in a cup. Tea comes first, then the perfume begins to take shape. Different teas, a rooibos pairing and one Arabica coffee lead to very different states of mind.
What Makes a Tea Scented Perfume Different
At State of Mind, tea is more than a drink. It is the starting point for an olfactory experience.
The house brings together the art of perfumery with the ritual of tea, creating fragrances around distinct tea and coffee pairings. Each one leads to a different sensory experience and a different state of mind.
This is where synesthesia comes in. Taste the tea and you smell the perfume. Smell the fragrance and you imagine a state of mind. Think of that state of mind and a taste returns. That taste brings a color to mind.
A cup of tea can already suggest a mood, a memory or a moment. State of Mind turns that experience into perfume.

Which State of Mind Starts With Your Cup?
You do not need to memorize every tea pairing before exploring the collection.
Think about the cup you naturally reach for. A smoky tea may draw you toward Modern Nomad. A fresh green tea may lead you to Open Mind or Secret of Success. If coffee is part of your ritual, Fanfarone Italiano offers another way into the State of Mind experience.
Sometimes the easiest way to choose a perfume is to begin with something you already know.
