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' luxury perfume fragrance brand is a fascinating exploration of passion, prowess, and unrivaled perception.

Our niche fragrances are crafted by Master Perfumers, housed in statuesque bottles, and intricately contrived to embolden your obsessions. Each scent from our luxury perfume fragrance brand mirrors the significance behind every move a player makes, and stunning combinations of ingredients transform the initial impression of every fragrance. Each note is carefully considered and selected, performing an essential role in the grand scheme, comprising a collection as layered, nuanced, and insightful as the ideas that inspired them. Make your next move, with a brand that seduces the mind, overtakes the senses, and places the power of destiny at your fingertips.

Art of perfumery

Together we have carefully sourced and selected the highest quality ingredients to craft premium fragrances that are long lasting, evocative, and individually distinguished. Each fragrance honors the perfumer’s odyssey, immersing you in an intricate story articulated through scent. Their quest for perfection in each element brings to mind the importance of each player on a chess board, and their preference for complexity, reflects the poignancy and intellect found only in the most stimulating MIND GAMES.

Each bottle is a conception of self-expression, celebrating the distinct and astonishing workings of the mind. Our stories are not inspired by a simple game of chess, but rather the heritage, craftsmanship, and design it exemplifies. The fragrances of MIND GAMES represent the triumph of spirit that accompanies each victory, the strategies that take an opponent by surprise, the long tradition of excellence, and the infinite possibility each player holds.
