BRAND STORY
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.

MENTOR
Mentor is a fragrance that celebrates contrasts. It’s a blend that’s both indulgent and complex, offering a unique take on the classic gourmand profile. At its core is Boya Oud, a smoky and sophisticated ingredient that provides an earthy base. This is complemented by the warm, honeyed tones of Amber and Tonka Bean, creating a rich and grounded base that sets the stage for the fragrance’s development. Notes of Dark Plum bring a multifaceted sweetness and depth to the scent, revealing bursts of juicy sugars. The delicate balance of sweet and earthy notes serves to open and brighten the fragrance’s base, creating a fragrance that’s both engaging and evocative.
