A tribute to brilliance masked in simplicity, Scholar’s Mate by Mind Games captures the art of an elegant checkmate in just four decisive moves. Launched in 2022 and composed by Christelle Laprade, this unisex extrait de parfum is an ode to swift intellect, disarming charm, and the quiet confidence of knowing your next move before it’s made.
The opening strikes with luminous precision—spicy cardamom and cinnamon leaf meet the vibrant freshness of grapefruit and bergamot. At the heart, a daring blend of elemi resin, fiery pimento, and refined orris offers a radiant complexity, both intriguing and unexpected. The base reveals a smooth, earthy foundation: creamy sandalwood, lush fig nectar, smoky vetiver, and the dry warmth of cypriol—anchoring the fragrance in quiet power.
Scholar’s Mate is crafted for the quick-witted and bold—for those who turn simplicity into strategy and play every moment with purpose and grace.
