Mind Games

MIND GAMES is a sophisticated olfactory game, outcome undetermined. In this collection the hypnotic effect of individual aromatic ingredients and the strategic complexity of the game of chess join in a competition with a highly unpredictable result.

Do you smell what you smell, or has your perception fallen prey to an olfactory illusion? When is the right moment to form an opinion about these fragrances, composed by master perfumers from Symrise?

Each scent reflects the mental energy and the consequential nature behind a single chess move and the intriguing ingredient combinations give a sudden new twist to the first impression. The collection currently comprises ten creations, the black and white flacons reminiscent of chess pieces. The scents are also well orchestrated as a group, like individual players each fulfilling a role in a complex strategic game plan.

MIND GAMES puts both the nose and the intellect to the test.
