Knight's Tour: test it before the full bottle
Mind Games Knight's Tour is a perfume that we decant into glass spray vials of 2, 5 or 10 ml. A note pyramid is not on file here, so this page makes no claims about how it should come across. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

How it unfolds
-
No pyramid here
We have the name and the house of Knight's Tour, not its notes. Instead of copying a list from somewhere, we leave that part empty. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
-
Listed on request
The status of Knight's Tour is on request, so the sizes are not open yet. Tell us through the form on this page that you want it, without any obligation. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.

What a decant is
For this sample, FragranceGems takes Knight's Tour 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
Nothing on record ties Knight's Tour 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. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly.
Who it is for
Whether Mind Games Knight's Tour is marketed to men, women or everyone is not in our record; wear it if you enjoy it. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
Why try Mind Games Knight's Tour as a sample first
The same perfume can be a favourite on one person and a miss on the next, which is the whole case for testing Knight's Tour first. 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.

Frequently asked
Is this the same perfume as the full bottle?
Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Mind Games Knight's Tour 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.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Mind Games Knight's Tour, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
How should I keep the vial?
Closed, upright if possible, and away from heat and direct sunlight, the same way you would keep a full bottle. That keeps Knight's Tour as it was when we filled it.

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.
