Blockade – Extrait de Parfum

Mind Games BLOCKADE Extrait de Parfum

BLOCKADE by Mind Games captures the dual nature of chess—the balance between strategic strength and the courage to constantly reinvent oneself. The opening of BLOCKADE is like the first move on a chessboard: vibrant and full of potential. The fragrance begins with an unexpected combination of fresh mango skin, spicy pink pepper, and green notes of tomato leaf and bergamot. These bright, fruity accords break through initial barriers, inviting you to view your weaknesses as strengths.

At the heart of this niche fragrance, BLOCKADE, a deeper and more complex story unfolds. Lavender and mango blossom blend with aquatic notes and a hint of star anise, creating a multi-layered and dynamic character—comparable to the midgame of chess, where every move is tactical and deliberate. Finally, the base of BLOCKADE reveals itself: a warm, earthy mix of soft leather, dark oud, and sensual patchouli, conveying a sense of strength and resilience, like a pawn advancing unstoppably to become a queen.

Christelle Laprade, the perfumer behind BLOCKADE, describes the scent as a vision of "strong metallic armor of a knight brought to life." Crushed leaves, ginger, and pepper from Madagascar accompany amber woods to convey a strong heart, while juicy mango grounds the fragrance. The use of Boya adds an extra depth and introduces an addictive, almost narcotic note to the scent.

BLOCKADE by Mind Games is more than just a fragrance—it is an olfactory strategy that encourages you to move forward with boldness and determination. This scent embodies the idea that within each of us lies the potential to overcome obstacles and master the game of life with confidence and grace.
