Artisan Collection – Counterplay Extrait de Parfum

In life and love, we are all participants in an infinite, cosmic game. Introducing MIND GAMES, a fragrance debut that transports you to the crucial moments of competition in a test of character, skill, and intellect. MIND GAMES compels you to ask yourself: are you a player who risks it all in the opening move, or do you hold your secrets close until the perfect moment? Can you anticipate your opponent’s intent before they take control? Will you use every ounce of skill, and any means necessary, to remain the last player on the board after all the others have fallen? Calculating, deceptive, and devastatingly seductive, MIND GAMES is a fascinating exploration of passion, prowess, and unrivalled perception.

MIND GAMES links the complex artistry best embodied by the strategy and brilliance of chess with the innovative and hypnotic effects of perfumery. The result is an inaugural fragrance line that delivers a scent wardrobe of extreme olfactive signatures.

Inspired by the scent of a perfectly ripe cantaloupe on a sunlit summer afternoon, Counterplay is designed to disrupt the mundane and seize the momentum. The fragrance unfolds with a fruity top note that evokes a sense of joy. At its heart, a floral bouquet of honeyed osmanthus and creamy ylang-ylang add a layer of warmth to the juicy top note. The dry-down of patchouli and sandalwood maintain a dynamic balance and add a sophisticated dimension to the final composition.

Inspiration:
“The inspiration for Counterplay mostly came from the juicy melon itself. I was intrigued by the contrast between its familiar, sunny playfulness, universal appeal, and the sensual layers that could be added to create something more dimensional and elevated—like the layered moves that intensify and raise the stakes of a simple chess match.” — Christelle Laprade, Perfumer
