Mind Games links the complex artistry best embodied by the strategy and brilliance of Chess with the innovative and hypnotic effects of perfumery. The result is an inaugural fragrance line that delivers a scent wardrobe of extreme olfactive signatures. Mind Games compels you to ask yourself, are you a player who risks it all in the opening move, or do you hold your secrets close until the perfect moment? Can you anticipate your opponent's intent before they take control? Will you use every ounce of skill, and any means necessary, to remain the last player on the board after all the others have fallen? Calculating, deceptive, and devastatingly seductive, Mind Games is a fascinating exploration of passion, prowess, and unrivaled perception. About the Fragrance: J'adoube begins with a whisper of warning. I move, it hints, yet I remain the same. J'adoube. I adjust. I reposition, I recalculate, I reconsider. The fragrance takes the time to acquaint us with our own inhibitions, unafraid to explore our darkness, and distracts us from the notion that we are fixed in a moment or place in time. An intriguing sensation engulfs us in an opening of pomegranate, rouge groseille, and mandarin, as the fragrance surges forward in a wave of tantalizing sweetness. J'adoube develops and expands into an intense experience, realizing the excitement found in the anticipation of a new love, a raw and singular beginning. Its evolution towards a bold and deep base of leather, patchouli, and ambrostar, bring focus to chaos, grounding the scent in a disciplined declaration of intent while remaining wholly spontaneous and free. J'adoube represents this juxtaposition of abandon and control moving between notes seamlessly, in a fragrance that is equally dramatic as compelling. Inspiration: "In chess, players say 'j'adoube' if they want to adjust the position of a piece, but not move it. I wanted to nod the history of this term with the incorporation of pomegranate, a juicy, precise fruity note that adds an element of excitement. The bold black suede accord gives the fragrance strength and a firm foundation, very much like the rook's role in the game." - Nathalie Benareau, Perfumer Fragrance Notes: Top Notes: Rouge Groseille DI, Mandarin Oil Madagascar Middle Notes: Bright Red Pomegranate, Damascene Rose Base Notes: Ambrostar, Benzoin Vintage Leather, Patchouli Oil, Sulawesi 3.4 oz./ 100 mL
