{"product_id":"mind-games-lionora-extrait-de-parfum-sample","title":"Mind Games Lionora Extrait de Parfum Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eLionora is an Extrait de Parfum from the New York brand Mind Games, composed by Christelle Laprade in 2023. The brand calls it an elusive celebration of grace and beauty. Passionfruit and ginger open it, apricot skin, osmanthus and freesia follow, and sandalwood with musk ends it. As a fruity floral extrait it is worth a short test before 100 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Passionfruit, Tonka Bean, Ginger Madagascar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Apricot Skin, Osmanthus Delaire, Freesia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandalwood, Tonkalactone Captive, Eco Musk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePassionfruit, tonka and ginger\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening has passionfruit, tonka bean and Madagascar ginger. That combines a tart tropical fruit with a warm, sweet bean and a lively spice. On a sample these first minutes show whether the brightness feels elegant to you or too busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApricot skin, osmanthus and freesia\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the heart, apricot skin gives a soft, velvety fruit note, osmanthus adds a floral side, and freesia keeps the whole light. This is where the perfume becomes a fruity floral, and where its elusive character, as the brand says, appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSandalwood, Tonkalactone and Eco Musk\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is creamy sandalwood with Tonkalactone Captive and Eco Musk, soft and smooth. Together they give a clean, cushioned finish. The drydown shows how gentle the whole perfume becomes once the fruit has quietened, and whether that softness appeals to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear the decant on a mild day, on clean skin, in spring, summer or autumn, which the perfume suits. As an Extrait it is concentrated, so apply lightly. Smell the fruit and ginger first, the apricot and flowers a little later, and the sandalwood at the end. A second day in the evening shows another side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like fruity florals with a soft, creamy finish and want something graceful rather than loud.
