Christelle Laprade perfumes
Christelle Laprade is the perfumer of a large part of the Mind Games extraits in our range. The house credits a perfumer for each of its perfumes and says it works with the perfumers of the fragrance house Symrise.
Fruit sets the tone at the top: cherry in French Defense, mango in Blockade, apple in Queening and passion fruit in Lionora. Double Attack opens differently, on orange bitters, pimento and pink pepper, and is one of the places where spices carry the perfume, as star anise does in Blockade and saffron in Queening.
The bases are warm and woody. Sandalwood closes Lionora and Double Attack, amber and cedar close French Defense, and vanilla returns in Queening and Double Attack, the latter with dark chocolate. Blockade ends on a leather accord, patchouli and oud. The other perfumes of Mind Games were composed by other perfumers.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
