{"product_id":"mind-games-jadoube-extrait-de-parfum-sample","title":"Mind Games J'Adoube Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eMind Games J'Adoube borrows its name from a chess call: the announcement that a piece is being straightened, not moved. Nathalie Benareau composed this Extrait de Parfum as a fruity leather: red currant, mandarin and pomegranate lead to a rose heart and then a base of leather, patchouli and Ambrostar. A contrast of tart fruit against firm leather is easiest to judge on skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Rouge Groseille DI, Mandarin Oil Madagascar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Bright Red Pomegranate, Damascene Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Ambrostar, Benzoin Vintage Leather, Patchouli Oil Sulawesi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTart red fruit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first impression is juicy and sharp: Rouge Groseille DI, which the brand's text calls red currant, with Madagascar mandarin oil adding a rounder citrus. It is bright and glossy and sets the tone. See whether that sharpness delights or bothers you before the rose appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePomegranate and rose\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBright red pomegranate and Damascene rose make the heart. The pomegranate carries on the juicy tartness, and the rose adds petal softness with a faint velvet warmth. Watch how long the fruit stays in front; the middle is meant to feel more lit than dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLeather underneath\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmbrostar, Benzoin Vintage Leather and Sulawesi patchouli oil form the base, which the brand reads as leather, patchouli and Ambrostar and which the perfumer ties to the strength of the rook. Expect a solid, upright leather with earth beneath and a faint resinous sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutumn and winter evenings fit, or any occasion where a firm, composed impression suits you. Apply it lightly and let the leather appear, since it needs a little time on the skin to show itself. Wear it on a second occasion as well, because an extrait this dense changes more than the opening suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who want leather with a bright side, supplied by fruit and flowers, and who value a perfume with a clear backbone. Unisex, and aimed at anyone drawn to tart red fruit against a dark, resinous base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Mind Games J'Adoube as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name suggests restraint while the perfume is confident, and that contrast is hard to judge from a list of trade-named materials. The brand publishes its notes openly, but notes alone do not say how leather feels on you. Our 10 ml decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in the decant?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJ'Adoube Extrait de Parfum, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a 10 ml glass spray vial and labelled by us.
