State of Mind Sense of Humor is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni. Sense of Humor opens with Musk, Peach, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Mate, Citron, and Darjeeling Tea, and dries down to a base of Mandarin, Cedar, and Coriander. State of Mind's Sense of Humor carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A love-it-or-hate-it citrus tea, Sense of Humor is either a vibrant, fresh-off-the-tree fruit explosion that dries down to a smooth musky delight, or an underwhelming, quickly-fading green-citrus flop. Price point is a common sticking point for many.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a juicy burst of blackcurrant and peach, quickly joined by bright citron and mandarin, this fragrance is a fruit festival on the skin. The initial sweetness mellows as aromatic Darjeeling tea and mate notes emerge, bringing a sophisticated, green edge. A soft musk base anchors the blend, with subtle hints of cedar and coriander adding depth, leading to a clean, powdery drydown.
