  To me, Secret of Success is the jewel of this house and one of the best tea-based perfumes I’ve ever tried. State of Mind holds its own against Floraiku and Memo with those same accords. It opens with a prominent grapefruit note mixed with something rough and spicy from cinnamon and cardamom, all sitting on a woody, vanilla base that’s surprisingly light, making it far more versatile than expected. It evolves into something sweeter; at first it seems sweeter, but as the grapefruit fades in intensity, the aromatic character shines through, never losing its charm, complexity, or natural feel. I understand the brand’s comparisons to Zara’s Ebony Wood or Marley’s Oajan, as a certain accord reminds me of Josier’s Ambre Tabac, but without its heaviness. Secret of Success is fresher, perfect for mild climates or summer nights. Performance is solid, I see it as unisex, and I recommend it from the heart—I love it and can’t wait to buy a bottle. The price is a bit high, but I think it’s worth it. As a fun fact, the discovery set I bought directly from their website included tea sachets, including one for this perfume, which is spectacular and top-quality, making the sensory experience truly unmatched.
