Floral · Sweet · Spicy
State of Mind Creative Inspiration is a unisex scent that sits most easily in spring and fall, suits workdays and leisure time, and balances its floral, sweet side with spice.
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer and winter chosen less often. It leans towards business, leisure and daily wear, and can carry into the evening. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number call it masculine.
It opens with bergamot, oolong tea and iris. In the heart, jasmine, rice powder and pimento build a floral, powdery line with a light spiciness. In the base, sandalwood, liquorice and musk soften it into a woody, sweet, creamy warmth. Bois 1920 Centenario and Penhaligon's A Balm of Calm have a close profile.
