Mind Games Mentor
$11.00 USD
Mind Games Mentor is a highly acclaimed, unisex luxury fragrance launched in 2024 as part of the chess-themed niche house's Perfumer Extraordinaire collection. Composed by master perfumer Carlos Viñals, the scent is crafted as an Extrait de Parfum, meaning it has a very high fragrance concentration that offers exceptional longevity and powerhouse projection.
The fragrance has achieved significant critical acclaim, winning both the 2025 Men's Health Grooming Award and the 2025 Marie Claire UK Fragrance Award. Its name nods to the strategic role of a mentor at a chessboard—offering a steady, guiding, and comforting presence rather than an overly showy one.
Scent Profile
Mentor is widely classified as a complex amber woody gourmand. It is celebrated for its dramatic contrast, masterfully balancing deep, smoky elements with indulgent, dessert-like sweetness.
- Top Notes: Salted Caramel, Dark Plum, and Italian Lemon.
- Heart Notes: Amber Coffee, Crème de Cassis, and Amber Resin.
- Base Notes: Boya Oud, Creamy Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean.
The true core of the fragrance relies on Boya Oud. Sourced from the non-infected part of the agarwood tree, Boya Oud lacks the aggressive, "barnyard" funk often associated with traditional oud. Instead, it delivers a smooth, clean, smoky woodiness that beautifully anchors the sweet notes of caramel, plum, and coffee.
