Scholar's Mate – Extrait de Parfum

Mind Games SCHOLAR'S MATE Extrait de Parfum

SCHOLAR'S MATE by Mind Games is an elegant fragrance that embodies the essence of partnership and collaboration.

The scent opens with a refreshing blend of cardamom, bergamot, cinnamon leaf, and grapefruit, which immediately invigorates the senses. These vibrant notes merge with the heart’s powdery orris, adding depth to the fragrance. In the base, a smooth and creamy combination of Indian sandalwood and fig milk unfolds, complemented by the earthy and refined vetiver from Madagascar. Subtle smoky hints and cypriol complete the composition, providing a sophisticated complexity.

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 preserving 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, perfumer
