Counterplay

Counterplay by Mind Games is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Counterplay was launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Christelle Laprade. Top notes are Melon, Guava and Banana; middle notes are Osmanthus, Ylang Ylang and Orange Blossom; base notes are Sandalwood, Patchouli and Pink Pepper. Inspired by the scent of a perfectly ripe cantaloupe on a sunlit summer afternoon, Counterplay is designed to disrupt the mundane and seize the momentum. The fragrance opens with a burst of happy juiciness featuring melon as the main ingredient, complemented by tropical guava and banana notes that evoke a sense of joy. At its heart, a sophisticated floral bouquet unfolds with honeyed osmanthus and creamy ylang-ylang, adding layers of warmth and textural richness to the juicy opening. The composition settles into a dynamic and sophisticated dry-down where earthy patchouli and smooth sandalwood create balance, enhanced by pink pepper for subtle spice. This online-exclusive fragrance represents the strategic complexity and layered moves of chess, offering a modern interpretation of fruity-floral perfumery with lasting sophistication.
