I discovered this fragrance when I got some samples from Neiman Marcus and I fell in love right away!!! I'm definitely going to be getting a bottle as soon as possible!!
I wore this on one arm and J'Adoube on the other. This is more my speed but I stepped out of my comfort zone and bought J'Adoube. I have no regrets. Incredible patchouli scent... but part of me still wants Blockade.
Thanks for covering this niche house and this fragrance, I've never heard of either! The notes make this one sound really interesting! Mango, tomato leaf, mango blossom, cyclamen, etc. Sounds awesome.
It is. Reminds me of aventus but instead of pineapple it’s mango. Also has great performance
345 $ men...
I really like the way you say let’s share a few sprays now as opposed to let’s waste a few sprays. 👍🏻
Agreed. I pointed out years ago that saying 'waste a few sprays' made it sound like we weren't worth it. Finally we get a 'share'... much nicer, thank you Ash 😂
I really like beans
For $345, it better smell nothing short of amazing or considered a masterpiece. I've realized higher priced fragrances absolutely does not mean it's great smelling or worth the pricetag. My $100-$150 fragrances are some of the best and it definitely outshines the ones in the $300+ range. I do appreciate the video/review, Ash.
Certainly! Fragrantica comments all seem to say it has short longevity too! Shame
It doesn’t last at all.
Not all that.
Which of your collection of affordable fragrances are your top picks?
If you like this just get Nishane Hacivat.. it smells very very similar, for atleast 1/3rd the price.
fragrances, mental illness and addiction overlap
As does bankruptcy 😂
as true as it gets
I mean you could replace fragrances with almost anything and it would work.
It's not an addiction unless it causes you problems and you keep doing it anyway. So I've been clean from hard drugs for over 66 months now, but I definitely impulsively buy fragrances lol
@@schneir5 hey, fair enough! I wish you luck in your recovery.
I’ve been wanting Grand Master from Mind Games since I first smelled it inside Neiman Marcus right around their release date. I also liked Blockade and Double Attack. Been hoping to pick up Grand Master for a better price than $345, but just haven’t had an opportunity present itself. Wish this house would hit discounters
They are 25% off on Neimans now. Now is your chance
Hope you can find a good deal this holiday season !
I’m interested in trying this one. It’s cool to see a new house do very well. I haven’t smelled any Mind Games but I’m down
Sounds interesting!! 🤔
Not looking to pay $345.00 though. Will be a pass. I will stick with my CDNIM Pure Parfum and Supremacy Not Only Intense!!
Thing about Ash's reviews.....I believe him!! He tells us the truth and that in today's circus of social media is rare!! Appreciate u brother....nice review 👍
Thanks for the review Ash, been seeing a lot of reviewers checking out Mind Games. While the bottle looks quite nice, it feels like they aren’t bringing anything unique to the table. Will be waiting for more reviews from you on this Niche house 👍
I know your not a big fan of scentbird but I did find blockade on there and for new subscribers you can get a 8 ml for like nine bucks. I'm waiting on mine to get here. I can't wait to try it.
About to pull the trigger on a one month scentbird subscription and I wanted to thank you for this. Great info, surprisingly great value for some of these niche brands on scentbird
How was your experience with scent bird?..are they legit?
I ordered a 10 mill vial from scent split. The scent is 10/10 absolutely. On me performance is 6/10 and projection is 4/10. I was even wondering if scent split waters down their samples.
They don't
I think it’s so similar that if you own aventus you shouldn’t spend the money on blockade and vice versa unless you just got the money to spend
Mind games double attack is on another level, you have to buy and review it’s a win win 🏆
This smells like a niche version of mont blanc explorer.
Which is an Aventus clone, interesting
I have this and the forward. They need to macerate for a while when you get them in
Since this appears to be a mango centric fragrance, how would you compare it to other niche mango scents like Mango Kiss and God of Fire, both by Stephane Humbert Lucas?
Thanks.
I know there’s a note of mango in God Of Fire, it’s not truly a mango fragrance. Like Mango isn’t the star of the show.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed night
I have both Blockade and French defense and both of them are a very great fragrance.
To me it’s Aventus. The first few seconds it almost feels like it has pineapple but then it shifts into mango.
It smells really good, super fresh and it’s awesome BUT it doesn’t last. On skin it lasts 2 hours of good projection, 3 hours is GONE.
Hi Ash, you should check the 'Double Attack' next, which was also very good and it's suitable for Winter
I have a travel size of grandmaster and it is amazing. I’m thinking of going for blockade because grandmaster is a winter scent and it’s April now. I think I’ll wait till it cools off to get Grandmaster… it cost 375 now 😮🥴
Not paying more than $200 for a frag, so I'll live vicariously through you
I’ll just wait for Lattafa to clone it.
@@wyattc.4455 😂 Same
@@wyattc.4455 exactly my thoughts. hahahahahahahah
@@wyattc.4455 i fell all of you for not paying so much, but when has lattafa ever done a good clone?
Definitely wait for a clone or it to hit discounters!! They just have a nice looking bottle and it’s expensive so realistically people can post online about how great it is just for a status symbol!! Instead of Blockade save your coins and buy NISHANE Hacivat! Trust me! Even the sales rep at Neiman Marcus agreed with me.
I really want some place like Scent Bar to get these all in stock so I can get my nose on them. I feel like I want to eventually get one from the house, but at that price I don't think I'd end up with two.
I never tried something from this house but the mind games sound very nice 👌 . Nice presentation, Ash!
This brand is making the free bottle-influencer rounds,, for sure.
Mind games black Collection is very good my favorite is Double Attack and my second is Grandmaster
I currently own Grand Master from this house, & it is their best in my opinion- definitely worth a sniff!
This smells like tropical gum to me and I like it a lot. Double attack is a good one too
I get that gum reference too now that you’ve mentioned it. In this case, it’s a positive.
Mind games are excellent I liked all of them but 2. I bought an atomizer set with all 10. Blockade and JAdoube are my favorites. Get your nose on JAdoube you will be blown away
blockade and castling are my favs from the brand
Same they’re so unique, but castling fades so quick.
Yes it’s a very unique scent !
The way you described Blockade is almost how I would describe J’adoube. Have you tried that one? I would love your feedback on that fantastic fragrance from the Mindgames line.
Jadoube is better
I totally thought this was a cheapie that was supposed to be amazing or something. Was not expecting the ridiculous price.
This sounds like a pretty different fragrance from aventus... people will compare anything to aventus
Thanks for an honest review
Yo Ash, why does my Facebook account keep getting silenced in the GSFC group on Facebook? I remember you mentioning something about that in one of your previous videos, but it keeps getting silenced and unsilenced…🤷🏻♂️ Anyways, I’ve been following you since 2017, and have appreciated your accountant very much as it has been a good source for reference, and I look forward to learning more about fragrances through them.💯
Ash just now getting his free bottle from the brand😂
Mindgames, ATH and vertus are 3 of the houses I've been waiting to see more reviews get to. Love their stuff
All three are pretty bad, especially ATH
@@thejuiceloosener150 I don't believe that you believe that if you've tried them. Unless it's too mass pleasing for you or something like that
@@stevebenjamin9573 I’ve tried about half of the ATH, line, all of the Mindgames and 4 of the Vertus. Vertus is the best of the bunch, especially Monarch at $120 or so. ATH utilizes way too much Ambroxan and IsoE in his bases and they come off smelling disjointed. Mindgames is just essentially a high end clone house at ridiculous prices. They smelled fine but should be about 75% cheaper
"That's what she said" 😂
Try kajal Masa opening . .
Smells amazingly good.
Nice infomercial
Thanks for the heads up at beginning regarding the price. I didn't waste my time watching. Much appreciated.
was curious, would it be redundant to own this if you own aventus? obviously it has a denser concentration but if the performance is mainly the only difference well... lol
"You get alot for the price" lol please.
How’s the performance?
I bought French defense n going to checkout blockade pick up double attack next
Blockade smells like hacivat to me
HARD pass!
Totally agree with this video!
The perfume spot has some for discounted price
Another fragrance that isn’t selling so they get a reviewer to push it. Don’t waste your money stuff lasts 4 hours and that’s it, for $345.00 I better smell the 💩 the next day.
Him and other influencers definitely took the money!
I love Grand Master.
I want to try mind games double take
I like j’ADOUBE and CHECKMATE GRAND MASTER
This niche house are rip off this scent cost 330$ before tax nothing special it’s same perfume from Vilhelm morning chess for 150$ just a bit twisted of mango but same perfume they can do better not for that price
Morning Chess SOLID. Love Dear Polly from them too!
Love your vida dude
I went to Neiman Marcus and tried checkmate. Wow that’s a nice one hold to your bridges. I’m going to have to try this one
I sampled j adoube an I choked my self out because I over sprayed but it amazing
I just tried Checkmate from them and its really nice. Really want to try this one now.
Pavarotti review my man
For 345 I need a masterpiece
Still waiting on a good easily accessible VIW OR Erolfa clone
I respect you and I watch your videos brother but this fragrance is 99/ Eventus why lied about it
I think it’s an injustice to compare this fragrance to Aventus. It’s an outstanding fragrance which,to me,smells more like Xerjoff’s Erba Pura
I found this smells more like Erba Pura Magica than Aventus.
I have aventus and blockade they are very similar
When are the clone wars starting??
In future reviews can you talk about who tge perfumer is,what year it was released,which country the house is,etc
My attitude lately towards anything good above $50 - wait it out and see if Armaf/Afnan/Rasasi/etc. will clone it 😅
That’s a lot of bank to spend on a fragrance. Wowzers. 🤘
Sounds good but too expensive
His wife likes it so lol
Three hund!?!.....😖
🥴
😐Next.
Aargh...another picture of a makrut lime to illustrate bergamot. I have no idea how it began, but this mistake used to be nearly universal on fragrance youtube. Lately I've been seeing actual pics of bergamots and thought we'd moved beyond this mistake but apparently not. Makrut limes and bergamots look and smell utterly unlike each other. It's not that hard to show a bergamot when you're illustrating a bergamot note.
Can you review checkmate
Too rich for my blood.
Mucho plata amigo.
The tomatoe leaf has me like 🤮
find it funny Gents almost never reviews DUA & Alexanders clone offerings but spotlights some many clone houses. they are all clones "aren't they??" lol
Because Alexandria won’t pay em I guess. It’s said that they hate on clones house that makes scents that are lackluster better
Another dupe brand for lot of money
I think it's great. Wife dont like it. She likes when I wear curve 😢
No mango. Just another Aventus fragrance. Be careful and sample this one.
This has terrible performance. Smells great though. Fresher aventus
Aventus stays stronger longer
👍👍👍
First
To me, this is a more fruity version of office Jerry fragrance Or similar style.
It's 400
Nope, moving on.
$345? Armaf/Lataffa do your thing please……
