Too strong
Maybe I will like it at a later attempt - but for my first one, it was too feminine and at the same time too strong.

Details on Mind Games French Defense
A sophisticated fragrance that exudes true confidence, French Defense takes control in a tantalizing scent of succulent black cherry, seductive notes of smooth liqueurs, and a bed of velvety woods and ambers. Soft florals are woven throughout the composition bringing a quiet grace and natural beauty to its structure. Completely captivating, French Defense is a black cherry fragrance that rises to every occasion, with a scent that sets the tone for success.
How does Mind Games French Defense smell?
A luxurious blend dominated by a dark, succulent black cherry note, complemented by smooth cognac and blonde woods. The composition features subtle floral undertones of chamomile, rose absolute, and mimosa, balanced with warm amber and refined cedarwood. The scent evolves from an initial fruity sweetness to a more sophisticated woody-amber base with gentle floral nuances.

LoginBrilliant scent
I really like the fragrance. The cherry comes across as smoky and dark, and it lasts very well. I would say it is much darker and longer-lasting compared to Lost Cherry. One of my favorites for the darker season 👍

Amber scent instead of cherry scent
Dark black cherry, soaked in alcohol. The dominant amber ruins the beautiful cherry for me, it becomes too resinous and spicy.
