Emilie Coppermann describes the Extrait de Parfum as the contrast of black and white on a chessboard: spice against soft florals, fruit against leathered woods. Black leather beside popcorn is unusual enough to test before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Apricot, Blackberry Leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Orris, Jasmine Sambac, Rosewood, Cassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Leather, Cedarwood, Popcorn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApricot with an edge\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSharp and spicy is how the brand puts the start, with apricot and juicy fruit. Blackberry leaf is listed beside the apricot and adds a green, slightly tart edge. Notice whether this opening reads as fruit or as spice on your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrris, jasmine, cassis\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe middle holds orris, jasmine sambac, rosewood and cassis. This is the soft floral and fruity side of the board, with the berry giving it a dark tartness. Watch how long the soft side stays in view before the leather takes the lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLeather and popcorn\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack leather, cedarwood and popcorn close the list. Leather and cedarwood supply the dark, woody side, and popcorn is the surprise, a toasted, buttery sweetness. A decant tells you if that touch charms you or distracts you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it in the evening, in autumn or winter, applied lightly, since an extrait stays close. Pay attention to the point where the popcorn note appears, and whether it softens the leather for you. Try it on a second evening in different company to hear how others react.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who like leather but want it softened by flowers and fruit, and who enjoy a perfume with an idea behind it. The line is unisex. Anyone who wants a straightforward fresh scent, or who dislikes toasty gourmand notes, should check carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Mind Games Gardez as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFloral leather with popcorn is not a combination you can imagine from a list, and few perfumes offer it. The perfume dates from 2022. Our 10 ml decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, so you can meet the move before the full 100 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs the vial something Mind Games sends out?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMind Games has nothing to do with the vial. FragranceGems decants the Extrait from the original bottle and attaches its own label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs the leather heavy?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is dark and supple rather than heavy: black leather softened by cedarwood, orris and a toasty popcorn note. As an extrait it is dense but not harsh, though only skin can tell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat story is behind it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe theme is willing sacrifice for the sake of love, freedom and the future, as Mind Games puts it. In the perfumer's words it is the contrast of black and white on the board.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mind Games","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693353992346,"sku":"DG-MGA-GARDEZ-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693354025114,"sku":"DG-MGA-GARDEZ-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693322797210,"sku":"DG-MGA-GARDEZ-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/mind-games-gardez-extrait-de-parfum-sample.jpg?v=1791395654","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/mind-games-gardez-extrait-de-parfum-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
