    The Forward is gorgeous, I for sure will make that my 3rd addition. Captivating is the perfect descriptive for French Defense, that and Queening won me over immediately!!! The Soulmate collection overall is my fave out of the two! Great overview Vee🤗🥰

    Veronica, when it comes to Gardez, you didn’t tell the people that the magic *really* happens in the dry down; it’s the sweetness that emerges from those florals and the mix of the popcorn is AMAZING. To me, it’s what the LORD Jesus smelled like😂. And, I might add, which is why I have a bottle of Gardez right now and Checkmate arriving in three days.

    Hello Veronica! I like some of these Mind Games, or at least the ones I’ve tested but I just don’t love them enough to get them on full price. Even 10% off is still expensive in my opinion. I do admire the bottles especially the first ones that came out. I wish So Avant Garde would offer them in better or more amazing deals. I wish Jomashop would sell them in the future, that would be awesome. 😊😊😊

From your description, Queening sounds right up my alley ((I love coconut with a lot of notes) but I know I would be disappointed and annoyed bc of the lasting power). Forward sounds really good, too, love a woody fragrance with a citrus note to lift the beautiful dark notes 🙂 (wearing (a dupe of) The Noir today).

    Hey, Gardez is French, so it’s pronounced gar-day. Like ballet. It’s the second person formal/second person plural conjugation of garder, which means to keep or guard. It’s also where the fencing expression “en garde!” comes from.

The saleslady had me trying several at the store, and I wanted to see reviews at home this evening. I'm so glad I came across your review. I must say my favorite from the line so far is French Defense (I also love Lost Cherry by Tom Ford). My 2nd favorite would be Forward, and I also liked Queening. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't enjoy wearing fragrance because I there are some in this line that I think I would like for him - Gambit being one.

    YES!! I'm so glad you got your nose on The Forward...for some it's so simple/basic but it's probably my FAVORITE due to versatility and the bold burst in the opening. I adore this and citrus dominated scents are hit or miss. I really hope I'm able to win the olfactory one or I'll probably just purchase that particular one on my own because from the first time I heard "The Perfume Guy" describe it I rushed to Nieman to sample them all and THIS one.....my heart.

    My dad was an international chess player in the 60s and 70s and got to be sub champion once. I love all those bottles, the names, the openings, the movements, players,and what the names all mean. Even though he was an absent father and I am a kick ass player, I chose not to because it triggers me...but now that he's gone (and I buried a chess set with him), I am seriously thinking of collecting them all. I'm still leaning to J'Adoube because of the pomegranate, Forward, French Defense. Ruy Lopez was a Spanish chess player from the 1500s I think. Gambit, like Queen's Gambit, is what they call a white opening move.

      Hi Vivi! 🥰💖 Wow, what an interesting history you have with your father and with chess. Thank you for sharing this! And thank you for the explanations on some of the names. Collecting them all would be quite an undertaking. I honestly didn't dislike any of them, although there were some that maybe weren't for me. The others were chef's kiss! 💋

    I bought the Amber set from Neiman, and so far in it, I've smelled them all but only worn French Defense from that set. I did get samples of the others, as well, and have worn Grand Master and Gambit that I purchased separately. I didn't care too much for Gardez because I did get that Popcorn note in the base after the dry down. Anyway, you mentioned that Queening didn't last long, so my question was have you considered possibly layering it with either Aaron Terence Hughes Carbon or Juliet has a Gun Not a Perfume? Have a great day!
