Mind Games

Mind Games is known for translating the strategy of chess into luxury fragrance, turning every composition into a move with a story.

From its own brand messaging, Mind Games frames its creations as niche, unisex perfume designed to feel “genderless”, with the collection inspired by chess pieces and the psychology of the game - opening moves, tactical shifts and the final, lingering finish. The brand’s ethos leans into controlled tension: craft-led perfumery that evolves on the skin, inviting wearers to build a personal scent narrative rather than simply choose a “safe” option.

Within the Mind Games range, the Artisan Collection is a core starting point and leans into bold olfactory categories such as leather (including leathery accords), musk and woody profiles. For a refined, modern direction, The Forward is often singled out for its elegant balance of jasmine sambac, warm tonka and sandalwood, which makes it feel polished without being predictable. Those drawn to a darker, more textured character gravitate towards Scholar’s Mate, where the experience is built around a leathery, floral lift that settles into sandalwood and vetiver for a grounded, longer-wearing trail.

Overall, Mind Games operates primarily across fragrance (fragrances) for both men and women, with key product categories centred on unisex perfume and standout scent families that match the brand’s chess-inspired mood swings - floral, jasmine perfumes, woody, sandalwood perfumes, leather (leather perfume & aftershave) and musk.
