Notes
A white tea fragrance does not announce itself. Bai Mu Dan gives Butterfly Mind its light, spring-like character, creating an airy beginning for one of State of Mind's most delicate states of mind.
What Makes Bai Mu Dan Different?
White tea has a quiet presence. Bai Mu Dan, the Chinese white tea chosen for Butterfly Mind, was selected precisely for its lightness and its connection to the feeling of spring.
That quality gives the fragrance its starting point. The tea sets the mood for everything that follows.
Why Does This White Tea Fragrance Feel So Light?
Butterfly Mind was created around the idea of aerial lightness. Its inspiration is playful at first glance, yet there is something deeper underneath.
The fragrance follows that same feeling. It moves with an almost weightless quality, inviting you to experience it slowly rather than trying to define it at first encounter.

From White Tea to a State of Mind
The beauty of Butterfly Mind is in the contrast between its appearance and its depth. The Maison describes its personality as frivolous and light in appearance, spiritual and deep inside.
That duality gives the fragrance its character. It feels easy and delicate on the surface, while its emotional idea reveals itself more gradually.
A Fragrance Inspired by Movement
The name Butterfly Mind suggests a mind that does not stay in one place for long. Its inspiration, drawn from Pierre-Joseph Bernard, speaks of love as something that moves, changes and eventually finds its own course.
There is something fitting about building that idea around Bai Mu Dan. The tea brings the sense of lightness; the fragrance gives it movement.
When to Wear Butterfly Mind?
Butterfly Mind naturally belongs to spring and early summer, when its light character feels especially at home. It is also a gentle introduction to State of Mind for someone discovering the Maison for the first time.
If you are drawn to fragrances that feel delicate without being empty, Butterfly Mind offers a softer way into the collection.
Butterfly Mind is one of fourteen State of Mind fragrances, each connected to a tea or coffee chosen as part of the creative process. Bai Mu Dan is where this one begins. To explore the idea behind the entire collection, read how tea becomes a State of Mind perfume.
