About This Perfume
Think smoky black tea rose over leather oud: that is State of Mind Modern Nomad. It opens with rose, Chinese black tea and hōjicha, moves into amber, patchouli and plum and settles on leather, Oud and vanilla. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for nights out. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and grounded for nights out.
- Sample first if: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.
- Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.
Around $300.
