What it is: A bold scent from MIND GAMES, a fragrance line that transports you to the crucial moments of competition.Fragrance story: J'adoube begins with a whisper of warning. I move, it hints, yet I remain the same. J'adoube. I adjust. I reposition, I recalculate, I reconsider. The fragrance takes the time to acquaint us with our own inhibitions, unafraid to explore our darkness and distracts us from the notion that we are fixed in a moment or place in time. An intriguing sensation engulfs us in an opening of pomegranate, rouge groseille and mandarin, as the fragrance surges forward in a wave of tantalizing sweetness. Jadoube develops and expands into an intense experience, realizing the excitement found in the anticipation of a new love, a raw and singular beginning. Its evolution towards a bold and deep base of leather, patchouli and ambrostar, bring focus to chaos, grounding the scent in a disciplined declaration of intent while remaining wholly spontaneous and free. J'adoube represents this juxtaposition of abandon and control moving between notes seamlessly, in a fragrance that is equally dramatic as compelling. Inspiration: In chess, players say 'j'adoube' if they want to adjust the position of a piece, but not move it. I wanted to nod the history of this term with the incorporation of pomegranate, a juicy, precise fruity note that adds an element of excitement. The bold black suede accord gives the fragrance strength and a firm foundation, very much like the rooks role in the game.' - Nathalie Benareau, Perfumer. Style: Woody, aromatic.Notes:- Top: rouge groseile DI, Madagascar Mandarin oil- Middle: bright red pomegranate, damascene rose- Base: ambrostar, benzoin, vintage leather, patchouli oil, sulawesi 3.4 oz. Made in the USA

What it is: A bold scent from MIND GAMES, a fragrance line that transports you to the crucial moments of competition. Fragrance story: Scholars Mate is an ode to partnership, a harmonious testament to the intense connection that occurs between those who share a common goal. Scholar's Mate delights in the possibilities awakened through mutual care and affection, aware of the gift a true friend and confidant can be. Combining resourcefullness with rare and unequaled grace, Scholar's Mate is poised, self-assured and sparkling with promise. Cardamom leaf and grapefruit set the tone for adventure, as partners set out into the unknown, discovering their fortitude and tenacity along the way. Powdery orris melts into a foundation of smooth and creamy sandalwood, rounded and completed by the elegane and vitality of vetiver. Subtle notes of smoke nod to the spark of energy that transpires when partners, companions, friends and lovers come together in the spirit of collaboration. 'In creating Scholar's Mate, I was reminded of the darkness of ebony wood, an emblematic nod to chess boards, and the method of Shou Sugi Ban, the age-old Japanese technique of reserving woods by charring it with fire. I used smoky woods like vetiver and cedar to bring this concept to life. Together, they kindle a strong, resilient woody composition, embellished with supple green notes of elemi and cardamom leaf that add an element of curiosity' - Christelle Laprade, perfumerStyle: Woody, aromatic.Notes:- Top: cardamom, bergamot, cinnamon leaf, grapefruit- Middle: orris, elemi, pimento- Base: sandalwood, fig milk, Madagascar vetiver
