{"product_id":"mind-games-french-defense","title":"French Defense","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrench Defense opens with bergamot and black pepper, and the chess reference is apt: this is a fragrance built on defensive construction rather than aggressive opening moves. The pepper and bergamot establish the position before labdanum and leather arrive in the heart with the composed confidence of a well-prepared middle game. Cedarwood and vetiver in the base are the endgame: dry, woody, persistent, the kind of base that reveals the composition's true character after the opening's complexity has settled. Patient and precisely built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Carry This\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench Defense's pepper-labdanum-leather construction is handled with the restraint the chess metaphor implies: each material arrives in sequence rather than simultaneously, and the vetiver base rewards those who wait for the full development. An intelligently built fragrance from a house that takes its conceptual framework seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bergamot, Lavender, Cardamom, Pink Pepper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tobacco, Leather, Vetiver, Labdanum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandalwood, Amber, Musk, Cedarwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccords:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aromatic, Leather, Tobacco, Woody, Warm Spicy, Amber\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Christelle Laprade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaunched:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mind Games","offers":[{"title":"3.4 oz","offer_id":48123511898356,"sku":"850034671581","price":390.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/2472\/7796\/files\/studio_3f62c20f-2245-414d-9ce6-8fbac3ef4068.jpg?v=1780376136","url":"https:\/\/www.casaalcheme.com\/products\/mind-games-french-defense","provider":"Casa Alchemē","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
