Mind Games Scholar’s Mate Extrait de parfum 100 ml (unisex)

Scholar’s Mate by Mind Games is a unisex perfume launched in 2022. It belongs to a sophisticated world of fragrance compositions inspired by chess strategy and intellectual tension. Perfumer Christelle Laprade created a scent that feels like a carefully considered move – precise, surprising and refined. Scholar’s Mate is designed for those who value elegance with an intellectual and creative undertone.

The perfume opens with a sparkling, piquant interplay as fresh bergamot and grapefruit meet aromatic cardamom and warm cinnamon leaf, creating a complex and contrasting first impression. Both airy and spicy, this layer immediately captures attention and sets the tone for the fragrance’s continued development.

At the heart of the composition, the balsamic, spicy character of elemi unfolds alongside subtly fiery pimento and elegantly powdery orris root. Orris lends the perfume softness and structure, while the resin and spices maintain its depth and complexity. The heart feels beautifully balanced – intellectual yet sensual.

The base combines warm sandalwood, sweetly fruity fig nectar, earthy notes of Madagascan vetiver and the smoky, woody character of nagarmotha (cypriol oil). This deep, soothing finish gives the fragrance impressive longevity and an unmistakable presence. Scholar’s Mate is a perfume suited to both everyday wear and special occasions when you want to appear considered and unforgettable. With this fragrance, Mind Games shows that a perfume can be not only beautiful but intelligent too.
