Blockade and Double Attack are fantastic frags. I love them. Honestly beween the two of them, you cover daytime and summer, with evening and cooler times of year with both. I gotta get my nose on the new stuff.
Thanks for the review Sebastian! Last week I attended an event at my local Neiman Marcus, and the Creative Director of the house was there debuting and talking about the scents and their inspirations. Such a wonderful experience. My favorites are Vieri, Sissa, Queening, French Defense, and En Prise. Queening is very reminiscent of Celine Black Tie if you tone down the powdery-ness and up the sweetness of the vanilla. Definitely a must have imo. Would’ve got the set, but was told you’d be able to buy sets of any 3 fragrances of your choosing from this Soulmate Collection as well as individual bottles eventually. All the atomizers are refillable if anyone is on the fence! Definitely worth checking out
Checkmate and Grandmaster are my two favorites. I also love and own J'Adoube. Caissa is beautiful for a woman. I don't want to smell like that but its a very beautiful scent.
Just tried Gambit, En Pris, Double Attack, and French Defense. Gambit is a powerhouse, grown man everyday fragrance that is up there with Savauge and YSL Edp in terms of mass appeal likeability so I will be grabbing it because no one will smell like me with it on. En Pris and Double Attack are great but know lasting power. French defense would be a nice one to throw people off and make a statement on a date, only for dates.💯💨
Just watched this after commenting on your Vanilla best of 2023 video asking about Sissa. French Defense is my favorite in this collection with the black cherry. I tried mixing it with Sissa and it came out amazing, give it a shot.
Love this house. I have J’Adoube, Gardez, Caissa, As-Asuli’s Diamond and on the way Castling. I know I have a fever but personally I love Gardez - the popcorn drives me …and Castling I love but it is J’Adoube that I really get “the attention” from others. So what do you think I ought to go for? 😊
Vireri, Sans Voir and En Prise are my favorites. Leonora reminded me of a jungle scented bubble bath soap I had as a child. Prob the same nostalgic moment you had. :)
I own Scholars Mate and I think is very underrated between the community who likes Mind Games. Gardez is also in my collection and I have it because is very interesting ( not to wear tho ). From this collection Queening and The Forwards seems nice.
Okay so I just heard you say WOW! Just like that to the Foward so it must be a WOW! Fragrance I would imagine it would be like those fragrances that you’ve smell in the air and never got to ask what it was and you regret it forever and never found out so I should get it first then blockade then j’adoube??? Please help haha 😂😂😂😊
Hi! Sebastian! My Neimans SA asked me to come in to sniff the new collection! I can’t wait! As far as last year’s fragrances, I love Double attack and for the summer Blockade! Great video!
Dang, that's a big drop. They aren't playing around. I've only tried Checkmate so far but have samples of Grand Master and J'adoube coming. I still want to try Blockade because people seem to really like it. Of these new ones, I think I'd be most interested in French Defense because I love cherry and Queening because I love iris. I will have to check these out. Thank you for sharing!
Can’t for more reviews on these forward sounds amazing definitely pulling trigger on blockade just from initial reactions of reviewers hope it’s amazing!
A boutique in my city has recently added the original collection from the brand and I'm looking forward to going there to smell through them. It may be awhile before the soulmate collection hits here.
Didn’t think I’d be into cherry fragrance especially after Cherry Punk 🤢 Smelled exactly like horrible cherry cough syrup.l that had a sharp bite to my nose. French Defense, however, stole my nose and I’m definitely getting a generous decant. Oh my it smells SO good 😋
I haven’t tried anything from this house, but it sounds very interesting. So many houses, so little money to purchase any. Nice video though Sebastian.
I got to try this today at Neiman Marcus. Queening at Lionora are absolutely to die for, I mean eyes roll back in your head good. That price point though! Ouch. $375.
Just looked up an old video of yours to get your take on a Fragrance intriguing me: Imaginary Authors' The Soft Lawn. I'm pretty sure I want it for next summer!
i like many of their fragrances , ordered from them once , my bottles lid came damaged very very slightly came bent/tilted still functions soo i didnt return it , im going to pass too pricey for me especially after my incident! unless there is a major sale pref 20% or 30% off
I liked some of their last offerings but I don't think they are extract as they say because the ones I have I don't get 4 hours out of them. I have Blockade and Checkmate.
I would love to own a fragrance from this house but the prices are insane! No 50ml bottles and 375usd + 61usd + taxes, it will be over 600usd to get 1 fragrance in EU. There are here no resellers of this brand so for an unknown new brand its def pushing its limits
Not sure about this company seem very overpriced & you still can't buy them anywhere in the uk. I sent them a few emails & they finally replied staring they have no plans to ever sell their fragrances in the uk. Strange company

Can you review Heaven can wait by frederic malle
I bought Lionora for my wife’s birthday and she love it , because she loves passion fruit.
This is the second review I'm seeing on this collection today. Just based on notes alone, French Defense sounds like my kind of fragrance.
Ooh yes black cherry!! :)
Blockade and Double Attack are fantastic frags. I love them. Honestly beween the two of them, you cover daytime and summer, with evening and cooler times of year with both. I gotta get my nose on the new stuff.
Thanks Sebastian! French Defense and The Forward going on the LIST. 🤓
You're welcome! :)
I have Castling and I love it! It's so chic and elegant. Perfect for the warm weather. I'm excited about The Forward, French Defense, and Queening.
I'm going to try this one again! :)

Wow, The Forward sounds amazing! I really love fragrances with salt in them. Sounds like it would be perfect for me.
I want to try that one
I love Blockade from this house. And I love to smell the one with black cherry.
Just tried Gambit, En Pris, Double Attack, and French Defense. Gambit is a powerhouse, grown man everyday fragrance that is up there with Savauge and YSL Edp in terms of mass appeal likeability so I will be grabbing it because no one will smell like me with it on.

French Defense and Double Attack are my favorites from this house
My favorite Mind Games fragrance is Caissa! So classy & beautiful.
I'm going to try it again as well.
Smelled them all at Neimans the other day. En Prise was my absolute favorite! Followed by The Forward and Queening. Thanks Sebastian!
I own Blockade & Double Attack and I totally love them both. Can’t wait for try discovery set of that new collection! 🎉
Is blockade really good? I have double attack myself an its almost other worldly how good it is 😂🤣
@@user-tn3je1kx1p well to me it’s hacivat/aventus similar but with green tart mango 🥭

My favorite MG fragrance is J'adoube. It smells so good on a man.
Thanks for sharing! I'll try it again.

Really like Blockade, wish it last longer. I had on and off days of minimal sillage to heady sillage 😢. Will check these out when they hit my Neiman ❤
Vireri, Sans Voir and En Prise are my favorites.
Leonora reminded me of a jungle scented bubble bath soap I had as a child. Prob the same nostalgic moment you had. :)
I have castling and double attack. I absolutely love them. I can’t wait to try some of these. Queening and the forward seem right up my alley.
Just got mine today at neiman marcus in San Antonio they all smell great 👍🏼
I got the sample set, much better then the first one. Gambit is special
I own Scholars Mate and I think is very underrated between the community who likes Mind Games. Gardez is also in my collection and I have it because is very interesting ( not to wear tho ).

I’ve sampled all of them and not one is bad and for the first time I couldn’t pick which one I liked best
Love the Branding, love the bottles, at those prices... no way, not even want to try them. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Hi! Sebastian! My Neimans SA asked me to come in to sniff the new collection! I can’t wait! As far as last year’s fragrances, I love Double attack and for the summer Blockade! Great video!
Sissa sounds SO interesting to me!!
I have 8mls of the Grand Master, Checkmate, and J'Adoube, and absolutely love all three. Such a great house!

Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the video Sebastian! Always dropping gems! Enjoy your time with your family.
Thank you! Will do!
Can’t for more reviews on these forward sounds amazing definitely pulling trigger on blockade just from initial reactions of reviewers hope it’s amazing!
I purchased the soulmate collection and I agree a prie and gambit are my favorite from the collection but I love them all that smell masculine
A boutique in my city has recently added the original collection from the brand and I'm looking forward to going there to smell through them. It may be awhile before the soulmate collection hits here.
Tried French Defense in Neimans and it smelled so good. Going back to sample again. Might buy it for a bday gift to myself.
I liked forward and French defense the best!! Thanks for the review, as I’ve been waiting for your opinion on these!!
I just bought the foward that one I amazing

📝🧐
To Be Purchased
1. The forward
2. French Defense
3. En Prise
The Forward is so good!! :)
Didn’t think I’d be into cherry fragrance especially after Cherry Punk 🤢 Smelled exactly like horrible cherry cough syrup.l that had a sharp bite to my nose.
French Defense, however, stole my nose and I’m definitely getting a generous decant. Oh my it smells SO good 😋
French defense and Gambit and the forward and Double attack and Blockade and J’Adoube 🔥🔥🔥
Love this house! French Defense, The Forward & Gambit are 🔥🔥🧨 Ruy Lopez & Sissa are really good too
I haven’t tried anything from this house, but it sounds very interesting. So many houses, so little money to purchase any. Nice video though Sebastian.
I got to try this today at Neiman Marcus. Queening at Lionora are absolutely to die for, I mean eyes roll back in your head good. That price point though! Ouch. $375.
They are quite pricey for sure
Great overview
Thank you. Hope all is well on your end! :)
@ThePerfumeGuy everything is good my friend. Super busy.
My favorites are Double Attack, GrandMaster and Checkmate
Same 🔥
Just looked up an old video of yours to get your take on a Fragrance intriguing me: Imaginary Authors' The Soft Lawn. I'm pretty sure I want it for next summer!
The Soft Lawn is the original tennis ball 🎾🎾🎾 fragrance.
@@ThePerfumeGuy It sounds really unique and beautiful!
i like many of their fragrances , ordered from them once , my bottles lid came damaged very very slightly came bent/tilted still functions soo i didnt return it , im going to pass too pricey for me especially after my incident! unless there is a major sale pref 20% or 30% off
Queening sounds up my street. I freaking love orris so much.
This brand grew on me. Being a fan and player of chess and the have a few gems in their lineup
Forward and queening sounds amazing
Forward, Vieri, Leonora and French Defense sound very intriguing to me.
I liked some of their last offerings but I don't think they are extract as they say because the ones I have I don't get 4 hours out of them. I have Blockade and Checkmate.
My absolute favorite is Double Attack can't be beat
Have a wonderful and relaxing vacation that you totally deserve💖
Thank you so much!!
Jadoube is my favorite but Queen sounds like a fragrance I may like 😊
I love Castling! This is my love ❤
I would love to own a fragrance from this house but the prices are insane! No 50ml bottles and 375usd + 61usd + taxes, it will be over 600usd to get 1 fragrance in EU. There are here no resellers of this brand so for an unknown new brand its def pushing its limits
Mind Games gives me MONEY GRAB but they do a very good job with their target marketing. Especially the in store Neiman Marcus sessions they have.
Has anyone teied the forward? Is it similar to anything?
I enjoy j’doube but I do wish it had less patchouli. It’s a bit of a patchouli bomb similar to Angel.
Sans Voir sounds like something I’d love ❤
En prise is my favorite
I love how the name of the fragrances are named after chess moves.
French Defense and Queening have me intrigued
Vieri smells amazing! ,y fav.
I do want it but not at that price! 😂
Can’t wait to sniff a few of the more feminine ones at NM though.
I have blockade and all I smell is the tomato leaf, can’t wear it.
Mind Games is by far my favorite house. They don’t miss, and their fragrances all smell like the opulence you pay for
Yeah I tried J’adoube at macys on a test strip and my wrist but the strip’s scent lasted a whole 2 weeks. I never seen nothing like that before lol
How is their performance? Longevity, projection, sillage.
Great job
I need French Defense and Queening!
Tried them. They smell great
Oh cool.
@@ThePerfumeGuy some Neiman Stores have them here in Tampa
Oh cool, they launch next month so coming right up. Keep in mind my 10% off if you buy from the Mind Games website.
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!
Why do you never spray on camera? We like to see the atomizer at work
You should actually wait to comment some comments, I sprayed on camera all over myself. Did you not see that part lol.
Double attack ❤❤❤ is the best
I like it
You must have read my mind.
Oh yes sometimes I do that. Ha! :)
Mostly sold out, no mention of price, what a shame
make it stop 😭
👍

Not sure about this company seem very overpriced & you still can't buy them anywhere in the uk. I sent them a few emails & they finally replied staring they have no plans to ever sell their fragrances in the uk. Strange company
What a blessing. I'm not earger to see the crap infest my landscape.
