Checkmate

$390.00

Saffron and cardamom in the opening are dense from the first spray, pink pepper providing the only brightness before the composition turns. Oud in the heart is the dominant force here, incense deepening it further while rose offers contrast that the oud quickly absorbs. Leather and amber in the base are deliberate and long-lasting, sandalwood smoothing the finish into something that settles rather than shouts.

Why We Carry This

Among the oud entries in the Mind Games catalog, Checkmate is the most committed. The cardamom-saffron opening into a full incense-leather base leaves no ambiguity about the fragrance's intentions.
