MIND GAMES Blockade Extrait de Parfum is a unisex, chess-inspired fragrance from the luxury artisan house Mind Games. Released in 2022 and composed by perfumer Christelle Laprade, it is highly celebrated for its bold, dynamic contrast between bright, tropical tartness and a rich, dark woody-leather dry down.
The Scent Profile
The fragrance is widely characterized by enthusiasts on platforms like Reddit and YouTube as a sophisticated "Creed Aventus DNA mixed with juicy green mango":
- Top Notes: Mango Skin, Tomato Leaf, Bergamot, and Pink Pepper. It opens with a vibrant, refreshing tropical fruitiness given a crisp, green, and slightly herbaceous edge by the tomato leaf.
- Heart Notes: Mango Flower, Lavender, Watery Cyclamen, and Star Anise.
- Base Notes: Suede (Cuir Velours), Oud (Agarwood), Amber, and Patchouli. As it settles, it reveals a smooth, velvety, and deeply textured leather finish.
Community Consensus & Performance
Reviewers frequently note that Blockade is incredibly smooth, mass-appealing, and makes for an excellent signature summer or spring scent. The primary critique centers around its performance relative to its high premium price point. While the scent profile is highly praised, longevity is generally reported as moderate, lasting about 4 to 7 hours depending on skin chemistry.
