A celebration of triumph and precision, Checkmate by Mind Games is a bold and romantic extrait de parfum that captures the thrill of a final move—elegant, strategic, and irrevocably victorious. Launched in 2022 and composed by David Apel, this unisex fragrance blends opulence with artistry, evoking both ceremony and surprise.
The opening is effervescent and daring—champagne bubbles meet tart red currant and the herbal warmth of davana, setting the stage for a graceful showdown. At the heart, a sumptuous bouquet of May rose, Bulgarian rose, classic rose, and creamy magnolia blooms in full command—voluptuous, regal, and unapologetically expressive. The base settles into a rich embrace of earthy patchouli, smoky tobacco, and green moss, leaving a powerful, magnetic trail.
Checkmate is crafted for the charismatic conqueror—for those who win not by force, but with style, intuition, and unshakable confidence.
