Summary
Summary
Mind Games Mentor is a dark amber-gourmand Extrait de Parfum that contrasts salted caramel and plum with coffee, oud, woods, and tonka bean. Italian lemon sharpens the opening while dark plum adds juicy depth around the salted caramel. Amber coffee and crème de cassis make the center richer before Boya oud, sandalwood, and tonka bean create a smoky, creamy drydown. Perfumer Carlos Viñals composed Mentor for the Mind Games Perfumer Extraordinaire collection, with Boya oud and amber resin highlighted as key materials. Its dense construction supports an 8+ wear range with strong projection and intensity, making it especially suited to fall, winter, date nights, going out, and special occasions.
