Artisan Collection – Opera Mate Extrait de Parfum

In life and love, we are all participants in an infinite, cosmic game. Introducing MIND GAMES, a fragrance debut that transports you to the crucial moments of competition in a test of character, skill, and intellect. 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 unrivalled perception.

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.

Drawing its inspiration from the thrilling match in the opulent Paris Opera house, Opera Mate is the perfect companion for a special night out. The fragrance opens with creamy sandalwood and a hint of caramel that adds a touch of sweetness, enhancing the top notes. As it evolves, the scent dries down to a sophisticated blend of musk, benzoin, and vetiver, which provide depth and complexity. Opera Mate is crafted to take centre stage and leave a long-lasting and memorable trail.

Inspiration:
“Opera Mate was heavily influenced by the exquisite raw ingredients themselves. Vetiver and sandalwood are two of my favourite fragrance notes: both have a toasted, caramelized quality that adds warmth and addiction to these typically clean, musky ingredients. The juxtaposition of familiar, comforting sweetness and luxurious, elevated ingredients is what makes Opera Mate special. It was a pleasure to create a fragrance that played with this contrast and captured the visceral pleasure of re-discovering more mainstream notes in a new and unfamiliar way.” — Christelle Laprade, Perfumer
