Mind Games Grand Master
Amber-rich, floral, gourmand, coffee-dark, and resinous.
Top Notes: Black Currant, Rose Water, Pivoine
Heart Notes: Rose Centifolia, Kona Coffee, Wild Violet
Base Notes: Myrrh, Incense, Panettone, Ebony Wood
Grand Master opens with black currant, rose water, and peony for a dark fruity-floral introduction before centifolia rose and wild violet deepen the bouquet. Kona coffee brings roasted bitterness through the center while myrrh and incense turn the drydown resinous and smoky. Panettone contributes warm gourmand sweetness against the darker ebony-wood frame. The result is opulent and unusual, balancing fruit, florals, coffee, bread-like sweetness, smoke, resin, and dark wood.

Summary
Summary
Grand Master is an amber-floral gourmand Extrait de Parfum that opens with black currant, rose water, and peony before centifolia rose, violet, and Kona coffee create a richer heart. Myrrh and incense make the drydown smoky and resinous while panettone brings warm gourmand sweetness and ebony wood gives the base a dark polished frame. The result is opulent and unconventional, suited to shoppers who want coffee surrounded by florals, fruit, resins, sweet bread, and woods rather than a simple sugary coffee gourmand.
