State of Mind Open Mind is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni. Open Mind opens with Aquozone, Lime, Ozonic Notes, and Melon, settles into a heart of Sea Fennel, Green Tea, and Hinoki Wood, and dries down to a base of Cade, Guaiac Wood, Cypress, and Lotus. State of Mind's Open Mind carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive aquatic with a strong personality; some find it a refreshing, modern take on sea breezes, while others are put off by a persistent, almost smoky woodiness and an overbearing melon note.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Open Mind opens with a cool, watery burst of aquozone and melon, brightened by zesty lime, evoking a brisk coastal air. As it settles, the heart reveals a unique blend of herbaceous sea fennel and clean green tea, grounded by the distinctive, almost piney scent of hinoki wood. The dry down is a deeply woody affair, featuring the smoky facets of cade and guaiac wood, alongside the resinous cypress, leaving a meditative, earthy trail.
