Meet En Prise on your own skin
This is Mind Games En Prise, a perfume by Mind Games, offered here as a sample. There is no recorded pyramid on this page, because we only print notes we can trace. 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. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.

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!
On the skin
The notes of En Prise are not in our files. That is not a judgement about the perfume, only about what we can state with certainty. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
On request means we do not have Mind Games En Prise ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
We fill En Prise from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and label it ourselves. The sizes are 2, 5 or 10 ml. 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
Nothing on record ties En Prise to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing.
For Mind Games En Prise no target wearer is recorded here. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving.
A full bottle is a long commitment, and a sample lets you make it with open eyes. We decant from the original bottle and label the vial ourselves. Mind Games does not make or endorse these samples; 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.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Mind Games En Prise 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 En Prise, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Probably not exactly. Skin, weather and the amount you apply all change how a perfume comes across, which is the reason to wear Mind Games En Prise yourself before deciding.
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.
