Meet Counterplay on your own skin
Mind Games Counterplay is a perfume from the Mind Games line-up. No note list is on record with us for this perfume, and we do not guess one. With 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial you can find out how it behaves on your skin, at your own pace. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.

Notes: not on file
There is no pyramid on this page for Mind Games Counterplay, because none is on record in our data. What it does on skin is for you to find out. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.

On request
On request means we do not have Mind Games Counterplay ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.

What a decant is
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Counterplay from the original bottle and fills a glass spray vial with it. The label on the vial is ours. Pick the small vial if you only want to know whether you like it, and a larger one if you want to live with it for a while.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
When to wear Counterplay is not on record with us; test it on the kind of day you would actually wear it. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Check it after a few minutes, around midday and in the evening.
Who it is for
Who Counterplay is aimed at is not on record with us. It suits people who like to put a few scents side by side over a week. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag.
Why try Mind Games Counterplay as a sample first
A sample of Counterplay answers the two things that matter: whether you like it, and whether you still like it on the fifth wearing. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house.

Frequently asked
What does the sample look like?
It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Counterplay the way you normally would.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Mind Games Counterplay, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Which size should I choose?
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of Counterplay; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.

About Mind Games
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.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
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.
