Playmate: test it before the full bottle
Playmate by Mind Games is a perfume, and this page is about trying it in a small size. No note list is on record with us for this perfume, and we do not guess one. The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.

Notes: not on file
Our record for Playmate stops at brand and name. Notes, families and seasons are left out here because we cannot verify them. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.

Status: on request
On request means we do not have Mind Games Playmate ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.

What you receive
The decant holds the same liquid as the full bottle of Mind Games Playmate, moved into a small glass spray vial by FragranceGems and labelled by us. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
There is no recorded season for Playmate. Begin on an ordinary day and take it from there. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes.
Who it is for
Whether Mind Games Playmate is marketed to men, women or everyone is not in our record; wear it if you enjoy it. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf.
Why try Mind Games Playmate as a sample first
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.

Frequently asked
Is this a sample made by Mind Games?
No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Playmate from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
Why does this page list no notes?
No note list is on record with us for Mind Games Playmate, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Which size should I choose?
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of Playmate; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.

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.
