This is an interesting take on the oud rose formula. The top is a fruity, jammy rose which has a slight bit of woody greenness from the tea notes. The rose stays dominant throughout the heart as a sweeter oud starts to come into the foreground. The drydown is a smooth rose-laced oud. On me, this scent evolves without any harsh edges or jarring changes. I have only had this manufacturer's sample a month and I've almost drained it. If the rest of the State of Mind catalog is like this, I'm going to have a great time with the discovery set and a sad time with my credit card bills.

If you like rose-oud concoctions you’ll appreciate this gem. It bursts onto the opening with a glorious rose explosion and then gracefully takes a dive into a pool of balsamic-patchouli-amber-vanilla-happiness. The projection and longevity are good as well (8hours+) Others from this house that have potential are Secret of success, Open mind and Sense of humour. All very unique and interesting compositions. Have a try and thank me later.🤙🏻

This is my favourite fragrance, totally recommend it! The scent is so versatile, it can never get boring. The perfume clearly gives you confidence as you're wearing a real quality product. The smoky notes of Grilled Hojicha Tea and Amber add mystery and the favourite ingredient of Karine Dubreuil - patchouli, so chic!!!

I am not typically a fan of rose scents, but I like this a lot. It has an air of mystery and an exotic flavor that i keep wanting to revisit. I keep sniffing my wrist. What an intoxicating rose!.... Okay. Now that Act 1 is over and I am in to Act 2, this is the Oud Rose smell that I am not into, that I find over and over again as in Rose D'Arabie by Armani. Damnit! Wish I could just bottle Act 1 only!!!!

Good aroma, unisex, subtle notes of tea, give the aroma a uniqueness. But the perfume is only for the evening, for the daytime too strong a scent. 7/10
