It's called \"Scholar's Mate\" and it's like a tribute to partnerships, a beautiful representation of the intense bond that happens when people work together towards a shared goal. When Laprade was creating this scent, she was reminded of dark, ebony woods, which are a symbol of chess boards. She also thought about the old Japanese technique called Shou Sugi Ban, where wood is charred with fire to preserve it. To capture that essence, she used smoky woods like vetiver and cedar to create a strong, rugged base. But she also added some softer, more delicate notes like elemi and cardamom leaves, which give it a touch of mystery and intrigue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOlfactory Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScholar’s Mate opens with a refined burst of green elemi and crisp cardamom leaf, evoking the sharp intellect and anticipation of an opening chess move. As the scent develops, the heart reveals a creamy, smoky interplay of sandalwood and vetiver, reminiscent of polished chess pieces and the quiet intensity of strategy. Gradually, the base deepens into a rich, charred cedarwood accord, inspired by the ancient Shou Sugi Ban technique, leaving a lasting impression of resilience and mastery. The dry-down lingers with warmth, embodying the victorious elegance of a well-played game.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOlfactory notes: Woody, Warm Spicy, Aromatic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFragrance Family: Woody Aromatic \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTop Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cardamom, Bergamot, Cinnamon Leaf, Grapefruit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeart Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Orris, Elemi, Pimento\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBase Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Indian Sandalwood, Fig Milk, Vetiver Madagascar, Cypriol\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eConcentration: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExtrait de Parfum\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMade in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e the USA\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eParfumeur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/parfumexquis.com\/collections\/christelle-laprade-crafting-emotion-through-scent\" title=\"Christelle Laprade perfume\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eChristelle Laprade\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eYear of Launch:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you're wondering about how long \"Scholars's Mate Mind Games\" will last, Fragrantica says you can expect it to linger for about 7 hours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Alcohol Denat., Fragrance (Parfum), Water (Aqua\/EAU), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzylmethane, BHT, Limonene, Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Geraniol, Eugenol, Citronellol, Citral.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mind Games","offers":[{"title":"100ml","offer_id":47944696922264,"sku":"MDGSMT-100","price":485.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1ml sample","offer_id":48137168060568,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/6313\/4360\/files\/MindGamesScholar_sMate_e66cdfcc-e953-4835-a721-11761566c56f.jpg?v=1767121259","url":"https:\/\/ephyr.ca\/products\/scholarss-mate","provider":"Maison Ephyr Perfume Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
