Strategic Elegance: French Defense Mind Games
Mind Games' French Defense fragrance is inspired by the strategic depth and sophistication of the chess opening that it is named after. In chess, the French Defense is a counter-attacking move that shows confidence and control. This idea is reflected in the composition of the fragrance, which aims to radiate true confidence and expertise.
Olfactory Notes
French Defense by Mind Games opens with an electrifying burst of black cherry, sharp and commanding, like the decisive first move in a chess match. Violet leaves and chamomile provide a fresh, green contrast, softening the bold opening. As the fragrance evolves, geranium, rose absolute, and mimosa emerge, adding a refined elegance—like the calculated progression of a well-planned strategy. The dry-down settles into a warm embrace of amber, cedarwood, and musks, evoking the quiet confidence of a masterful checkmate. Each stage mirrors a tactical shift, transitioning seamlessly from bold intensity to sophisticated depth and lasting allure.
