MIND GAMES Perfumer Extraordinaire Mentor Extrait De Parfum 100ml

Mentor by Mind Games opens with crisp bergamot and pink pepper, unfolds into saffron, incense and supple leather, then rests on oud, amberwood and patchouli. Extrait concentration ensures eight-hour wear. City Perfume ships free express Australia-wide on orders over $300.

 

Fragrance story

Mentor starts with an immediate splash of Calabrian bergamot and sparkling pink pepper, setting a crisp, inviting tone. Within minutes, a gentle glow of saffron rises beside airy incense and a supple leather accord, warm yet weightless. As it settles, a resonant base of Laotian oud, smooth amberwood and earthy patchouli emerges, creating a balanced signature that moves from bright to comforting without losing clarity.
