Mind Games J’Adoube
Fruity, floral, leathery, woody, ambered, and richly textured.
Top Notes: Rouge Groseille DI, Mandarin Oil Madagascar
Heart Notes: Bright Red Pomegranate, Damascene Rose
Base Notes: Ambrostar, Benzoin Vintage Leather, Patchouli Oil Sulawesi
J’Adoube opens with tart rouge groseille and Madagascan mandarin for a vivid red-fruit lift. Bright pomegranate and Damascene rose make the heart juicy and floral before the composition turns darker in the drydown. Ambrostar, vintage-leather benzoin, and Sulawesi patchouli add warmth, depth, and a polished leathery-woody structure. The result is fruit-forward at first but increasingly sensual and dramatic as the leather, patchouli, and ambered woods emerge.

Summary
Summary
Mind Games J’Adoube is a high-impact fruity-floral leather Extrait de Parfum that starts with tart red fruit and Madagascan mandarin before becoming progressively darker. Bright red pomegranate and Damascene rose create a saturated, polished heart with both juicy and floral character. Ambrostar, vintage-leather benzoin, and Sulawesi patchouli then add warmth, depth, and a pronounced leathery-woody structure. Released in 2022 and created by Nathalie Benareau, J’Adoube remains part of the current Artisan Collection. Its 8+ wear and strong projection make it better suited to cooler weather, evenings, date nights, and statement occasions than quiet office wear. It fits shoppers who want red fruit and rose backed by leather, patchouli, and ambered woods rather than a sugary finish.
