Counterplay

A Sunlit Strategy: Counterplay Mind games

Counterplay by Mind Games is inspired by the smell of a ripe cantaloupe on a summer afternoon.  This fragrance is a masterclass in balance, much like a chess grandmaster calculating every possible move. It challenges traditional fruity floral fragrance narratives, offering an unapologetic olfactory experience that refuses to be categorized or contained. Christelle Laprade, the perfumer behind this fragrance, was inspired by the playful and universal appeal of melons. She wanted to create a fragrance that had a playful energy but also had sophistication.

Olfactory Notes

Counterplay by Mind Games unfolds as a vibrant and sophisticated fragrance, beginning with a burst of ripe melon, guava, and banana that evokes the joy of a sunlit summer afternoon. This fruity opening transitions into a heart of honeyed osmanthus, creamy ylang-ylang, and orange blossom, adding warmth and depth. The fragrance settles into a refined base of sandalwood, patchouli, and pink pepper, providing a grounded and elegant finish. This progression from bright fruitiness to floral richness and finally to a sophisticated woody base creates a dynamic and memorable olfactory experience
