Mind Games - Checkmate

MIND GAMES links the complex artistry best embodied by the strategy and brilliance of Chess with the innovative and hypnotic effects of perfumery. Leading the charge with an effervescent burst of champagne, Checkmate rushes to action in a dazzling sparkle of hope. Succulent and seductive fruits and florals follow, drawing on their reserves of willpower. In the final moments you experience an intoxicating blend of tobacco and bourbon. The memory of the battle fades as the ground cradles you in rugged notes of earth, moss, and patchouli.

    Alluring
    This is one of my all time favorites I've gotten through the subscription service! It is a mature, yet sexy scent that is soft on application and lasts longer than other scents I've gotten.

    Mysterious
    Date night wearer, very unisex but a bit feminine for my tastes however I really loved the magnolia note in there about all I could distinguish from the champagne smell
