Mind Games The Forward
$9.00 USD
Mind Games The Forward is a unisex citrus floral-gourmand fragrance launched in 2023 by the niche American design house as part of their Soulmate Collection. Composed by perfumer Nathalie Benareau, the scent is highly regarded as an elegant, long-lasting summer perfume centered around an unexpected interplay of bright citrus, sea salt, and creamy sweetness.
Scent Profile & Notes
The fragrance opens with a vibrant, refreshing lift, transitions into a clean marine-floral core, and dries down into a smooth, comforting woodsy-sweet base:
- Top Notes: Pomelo, Lemon, and Madagascar Mandarin Orange. The prominent pomelo provides a sharp, sparkling citric freshness similar to grapefruit but without its bitter, sulfurous facets.
- Heart Notes: Sea Salt Accord, Tonka Bean, and Jasmine Sambac. The salt accord injects a breezy, marine freshness that beautifully cuts through the sweetness rather than giving a heavy oceanic or beachy impression.
- Base Notes: Madagascar Vanilla, Sandalwood, and Cashmeran. The drydown settles into a creamy, slightly elevated sweetness that stays clean and refined without turning overly dense or gourmand.
Performance & Character
- Concentration: Extrait de Parfum.
- Longevity: Exceptional for a fresh citrus profile, typically projecting and lasting upwards of 10 hours on the skin.
- Vibe: Sophisticated, clean, and understatedly elegant. It functions as a dressed-up, smooth scent that is far more subtle and polite than louder offerings from the house like Queening or Kingside.
