Our Comparison to French Defense by the house of Mind Games
Named after the famously resilient chess opening, this 2023 release is a masterclass in olfactory strategy. Crafted by the talented Christelle Laprade, French Defense is a unisex extrait de parfum that opens with a bold gambit of cherry and violet leaves, then settles into a warm, ambered endgame that lingers for hours. It is a fragrance for those who understand that true luxury is not loud—it is deliberate, layered, and unforgettable. From the first spritz, you are drawn into a world of deep red fruits, herbal whispers, and a woody foundation that feels both ancient and modern.
Top notes are Cherry, Violet Leaves and Chamomile; middle notes are Rose, Mimosa and Geranium; base notes are Amber, Blonde Woods and Cedarwood.
