Mind Games En Prise
Woody, citrusy, aromatic, earthy, and sweet.
Top Notes: Saffron, Madagascar Ginger, Bergamot
Heart Notes: Madagascar Geranium, Sugar Accord, Cassis
Base Notes: Madagascar Vetiver, Moss, Cedarwood
En Prise opens with saffron, Madagascar ginger, and bergamot for a bright warm-spiced effect before geranium, cassis, and a crystalline sugar accord soften the center. Vetiver becomes the main drydown material, joined by moss and cedarwood for an earthy, dry structure beneath the sweeter accents. The result feels focused rather than gourmand, balancing citrus, saffron, fruit, green aromatics, sweetness, vetiver, moss, and woods in a polished Extrait de Parfum.

Summary
Summary
En Prise is a woody-citrus Extrait de Parfum that contrasts vivid spice and citrus with a sweet, earthy vetiver base. Saffron, Madagascar ginger, and bergamot create the bright opening before geranium, sugar accord, and cassis add green-fruity sweetness. Madagascar vetiver, moss, and cedarwood then dry the composition down and give it a grounded woody texture. The result is crisp but substantial, suited to shoppers who want saffron and citrus with enough vetiver, moss, and cedar to feel structured rather than fleeting.
