Behind the Fragrance

Mind Games CHECKMATE Extrait de Parfum

CHECKMATE by Mind Games opens with a sparkling burst of champagne, instantly invigorating the senses and evoking a moment of hope. This is followed by juicy, seductive fruit and floral notes that reveal their inner strength. As the fragrance unfolds, it offers a captivating blend of tobacco and bourbon, reminiscent of the final moments of an intense experience. The scent concludes with deep, earthy notes of patchouli, moss, and soil, enveloping you in a powerful yet calming embrace.

The top notes consist of davana, champagne, and red currant, while the heart is characterized by May rose, Bulgarian rose, magnolia, and rose centifolia. The base grounds the fragrance with tobacco, bourbon, patchouli leaves, and tree moss.

Tobacco has such a multi-faceted, addictive scent. A breath of smoke carries with it an earthy dampness, a creamy sweetness, and an obvious haze of smokiness. CHECKMATE captures that experience, constructed in a sophisticated fashion." – David Apel, Perfumer

This niche fragrance is not just an olfactory experience but also a statement of sustainability. It originates from controlled and responsible cultivation, with complete traceability back to the farmers. Local community projects are supported, and farmers receive training in good agricultural practices and support through long-term agreements. The production aligns with COSMOS standards for natural and organic ingredients. Additionally, research is invested in developing drought-resistant and disease-resistant patchouli plants, with training provided on soil health.

The scent CHECKMATE by Mind Games symbolizes the wisdom gained from defeat and the strength to face any challenge again. The fragrance captures the moment when you are defeated yet victorious, in perfect harmony, ready to win the next battle.
