Mind Games – En Prise

Vibe & Gender
Unisex with a slight masculine lean. This is a fresh, spicy vetiver fragrance with a unique sweet twist. Bright bergamot and ginger meet warm saffron and a crystalline sugar accord before drying into earthy vetiver, oakmoss, and cedar. It feels clean, modern, sophisticated, and versatile enough for the office or a night out. Verified notes are from the official Mind Games website and Fragrantica.  

Notes

• Top: Saffron, Madagascar Ginger, Bergamot
• Middle: Geranium (Madagascar), Sugar Accord, Cassis (Blackcurrant)
• Base: Madagascar Vetiver, Oakmoss, Cedarwood  

What it smells like
It opens with sparkling bergamot and spicy ginger, quickly joined by an airy saffron that gives it warmth without making it heavy. The sugar accord softens the composition rather than making it smell gourmand, while the blackcurrant adds a juicy touch. As it dries down, the vetiver, moss, and cedar create a crisp, woody finish that’s fresh, refined, and slightly earthy.  

Comparisons
If you enjoy Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman, En Prise has a similar bright, modern, sweet-fresh feel, though En Prise is noticeably more vetiver-driven and earthy. Some enthusiasts also compare the dry down to a fresher, more masculine take on Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540, but En Prise maintains its own identity thanks to the ginger, saffron, and vetiver combination.
