A tribute to one of the most iconic chess openings, Ruy Lopez by Mind Games is a fragrance that blends classical form with sensual tension. Launched in 2023 and composed by Christelle Laprade, this unisex extrait de parfum unfolds like a calculated strategy—layered, elegant, and deeply compelling.
The opening makes a bold impression with ripe cherry, crackling black pepper, and smoky black tea—aromatic and arresting. At its heart, the richness deepens: warm davana, aged rum, and a velvety rose accord swirl together in a dance of indulgent complexity. The base anchors the composition with rugged oak, smooth leather, and earthy patchouli—grounded, powerful, and endlessly resonant.
Ruy Lopez is crafted for the poised tactician—for those who blend grace with boldness, and whose every move is backed by passion and precision.
