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

Scholar's Mate by Mind Games is a unisex perfume from 2022 that belongs to a sophisticated world of fragrance compositions inspired by chess strategy and intellectual tension. Perfumer Christelle Laprade has created a fragrance that feels like a thoughtful move - precise, surprising and refined. Scholar's Mate is a fragrance for those who value elegance, but with an intellectual and creative undertone.

The opening of the perfume plays a sparkling and spicy game - fresh bergamot and grapefruit meet aromatic cardamom and warming cinnamon leaf, creating a complex and contrasting first impression. This layer feels both airy and spicy at the same time, instantly attracting attention and setting the tone for the fragrance's further development.

At the heart of the composition, a balsamic and spicy note of elemi develops, complemented by a lightly pungent pimento and a powdery, elegant iris root (orris). It is the iris that adds subtlety and structure to the perfume, while the resin and spices preserve its depth and complexity. This middle ground feels very balanced - intellectual but also sensual.

The base is made up of warm sandalwood, the sweetly fruity and delicate green nectar of fig, the earthy notes of Madagascar vetiver and the smoky-woody character of nagarmotha (cypriol oil). This finish is deep, natural and soothing, ensuring the fragrance's longevity and unmistakable presence. Scholar's Mate is a perfume that is suitable for everyday wear, but also for special occasions when you want to appear sophisticated and memorable. With this fragrance, Mind Games proves that perfume can be not only beautiful, but also clever.
