Mind Games
French Defense Mind Games
A sophisticated fragrance that exudes true confidence, French Defense takes control in a tantalizing scent of succulent black cherry, seductive notes of smooth liqueurs, and a bed of velvety woods and ambers. Soft florals are woven throughout the perfume's composition bringing a quiet grace and natural beauty to its structure. Completely captivating, French Defense rises to every occasion, with a scent that sets the tone for success. "French Defense leads with a mouthwatering boldness of dark liquor-saturated cherries; a hypnoticred fruity note that hooks the senses from the start. Threads of soft mimosa and geranium Madagascar woven through the heart transition the fragrance into a skin-warming caress of golden amber and woods." - Christelle Laprade, Perfumer.
