Arabian Mate by Mind Games, as a decant
On this page you find Mind Games Arabian Mate, a perfume, as a decant. We have no note list on record for it, so we describe nothing we cannot back up. Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves.
On request
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands. Read how we fill your sample

On the skin
No note list is on record for Mind Games Arabian Mate; wear it and judge. We would rather give you a clean sample than a description we cannot stand behind. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
The status of Arabian Mate is on request. That is an honest way of saying it is on our list but not yet in a vial. The form on this page is where you raise your hand. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.
The sample is made by hand: Mind Games Arabian Mate goes from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, which we then label. Three sizes mean you decide how long you want to test. Because it is a spray, the perfume spreads on skin the same way it would from the bottle.
Testing it
No season or occasion is on record for Arabian Mate, so let your own days decide. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes.
There is no audience on file for Arabian Mate, which leaves it open to anyone curious. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes.
A full bottle is a long commitment, and a sample lets you make it with open eyes. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Mind Games Arabian Mate and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
No note list is on record with us for Mind Games Arabian Mate, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
The brand
Mind Games takes its vocabulary from chess: every perfume is an 'aromatic movement' named after a move or an idea from the game, from French Defense to Double Attack. Creators Alex and Mariana Shalbaf work with the master perfumers of the fragrance house Symrise, and the perfumes described in this text are Extrait de Parfum. The names give no hint of the smell, mango, cherry, chocolate, coffee, so the sensible opening move is a few 10 ml decants.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
