State of Mind Modern Nomad is a unisex scent that opens on tea and rose and settles into leather, oud and vanilla, with a sweet, smoky and spicy character.

What does Modern Nomad smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring taking the remaining share. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, though leisure and daily wear also get votes.

Hōjicha, Chinese black tea and pu-erh tea open dry and lightly smoky beside rose. In the heart, amber, plum and patchouli add sweetness, while leather and oud form a woody, leathery base softened by vanilla. The floral and fruity facets stay behind the oriental structure. Guerlain Santal Royal and Lattafa Maahir have a close profile.
