Jasmine Sambac and tonka bean form the heart, and the perfume lands on vanilla, sandalwood and cashmeran. Nathalie Benareau composed it, and Mind Games calls it modern, unisex and balanced between fresh and gourmand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Lemon, Mandarin Madagascar, Pomelo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Jasmine Sambac, Tonka Bean, Salt Accord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanilla Madagascar, Sandalwood Drêches, Cashmeran\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBright and salty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLemon gives the sharp edge, mandarin the juicy sweetness and pomelo a softer, faintly bitter roundness. Underneath runs the salt accord, which does not make the perfume marine so much as make the fruit seem more vivid. The opening is airy and luminous, with very little weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJasmine meets tonka\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the heart, Jasmine Sambac brings a warm, creamy, slightly fruity white floral, and tonka bean adds a soft, almond-and-hay sweetness. The salt stays in the background and keeps the floral from turning heavy. This is the point where fresh and gourmand meet, as the brand puts it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA creamy landing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is vanilla from Madagascar, sandalwood and cashmeran, which the brand describes as a creamy base. Vanilla provides the cream, and the sandalwood gives it a smooth, milky wood. The finish is gentle and rounded, and as an extrait it stays close to the skin without ever becoming heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight on warm days\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe citrus-led opening makes it easy to wear from spring into early autumn, by day as well as in the evening. One or two sprays are enough: the citrus is lively on warm skin, and the creamy base follows as the perfume settles. In colder weather vanilla and sandalwood come forward, so it still works at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho will enjoy it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone who likes citrus but wants it to end somewhere warmer than a light, fleeting freshness, and anyone who enjoys jasmine without heavy florals. The brand calls it modern and unisex, and it suits people who want a clean, polished impression that still finishes softly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Mind Games The Forward\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt balances two moods that are usually kept apart: sparkling, salty citrus and a creamy vanilla and sandalwood base. Jasmine and tonka are the hinge between them. One perfumer wrote it as a single idea, and the move from bright to soft feels planned, not tacked on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat does the salt accord add to the opening?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt gives the citrus a salty twist, which makes the lemon, mandarin and pomelo read as brighter and keeps the opening from seeming like plain fruit juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan I wear The Forward in warm weather?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
