Details on Mind Games The Forward

A modern and unisex perfume scent that ignites the senses and commands attention, the Forward leads with a blend of vibrant, shimmering citruses in a bold and unforgettable opening which sets the stage for the smooth and subtle appearance of florambers and gourmands. Captivating from the first move, and further enthralling with each move after, the Forward reveals its depth and sophistication as multifaceted subtleties of salt, jasmine, and vanilla join the movement. Regal and daring, yet soft and refined, The Forward goes beyond expectations, a fragrance that sets a new standard.

How does Mind Games The Forward smell?

Opening with vibrant citrus notes of honey pomelo, lemon, and Madagascan mandarin, the scent evolves into a sophisticated blend of salty accords complemented by jasmine sambac and tonka bean. The base reveals a creamy combination of bourbon vanilla, cashmeran, and sandalwood, creating a balanced composition between fresh, sweet, and woody elements.

Salty lemon

Lemon fluff with vanilla and a light salt crust. Leans slightly masculine but I love it.

Great salty, zesty, sweet fragrance; it was a surprise for me because I usually don't think much of this manufacturer.

Solid average

In my opinion, The Forward is an average fragrance that has a bit of spiciness, citrus, creaminess, shower gel vibes, musk, floral notes, etc. Somehow, you have smelled it all before in designer or mainstream fragrances. It feels as if you already know the scent, even if you have never specifically smelled it before.
