State of Mind picks and their notes

Spontaneous Generosity smells like sweet tea, fig jam and caramel cream, opening on Assam tea, fig and tonka bean over cherry, caramel and sandalwood.

Sweet guava tea with a cherry blossom breeze is Butterfly Mind, which pairs cherry blossom and Bai Mudan tea with a musk and cherry base.

Creative Inspiration reads as soft powdered tea with iris and jasmine, from iris, bergamot and oolong tea down to liquorice, musk and sandalwood.

Next steps: tea perfumes, iris perfumes, or a different house from the brands index.
