The composition
Of True Minds opens on amaretto and a warm grating of nutmeg, sweet for a moment and then drier. Soft suede and powdery orris form the heart, with benzoin adding a resinous glow, before the base settles into earthy patchouli and smoky labdanum.
It takes its name from Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, yet wears more like a dim bar than a love letter: boozy, a little smoky, suited to cold evenings. It is a darker turn for a house better known for light, airy scents.
What wearers say
- Patchouli is the note most wearers notice first and longest, joined by soft suede and a boozy amaretto sweetness.
- Fans describe it as smooth and sexy, a grown-up evening scent with a little smoke.
- Detractors find the patchouli harsh, sharp or dusty, and several say it smells more like a men's cologne than they hoped.
- Performance reports are mostly moderate to long lasting, with some calling the projection strong and a few finding it faint.
- Fall and winter evenings are the usual choice, and longtime fans of the house call it a clear departure from its lighter scents.

Compared with
- ChipmunkZoologist
- Reviewers note shared ground in nutmeg, a nutty sweetness, patchouli and resin. Chipmunk leans greener and fruitier, with quince and milky kernels, where Of True Minds goes toward suede and smoky labdanum.
- Interlude Black Iris ManAmouage
- Some wearers call Of True Minds a gentler take on the same mood. Interlude Black Iris Man is smokier and more resinous, with frankincense, myrrh and agarwood smoke around its orris and leather.
