Mind Games is an indie fragrance house known for conceptual, character-driven releases that challenge conventional fragrance storytelling. Collectors 12 x continues this approach as part of their numbered series, treating fragrance as a collectible art form rather than a straightforward product.

Collectors 12 x opens with fig leaf and sea salt, giving an immediate green, slightly salty character before bergamot adds citrus brightness. The heart settles into a soft iris and lotus base, with freesia contributing airy floral notes that keep the composition from becoming too earthy. The base layers sandalwood and Madagascar vetiver with vanilla and musk, creating a woody-powdery foundation that's grounded but not heavy. Overall, this is a green woody fragrance with powdery undertones and a restrained floral sensibility, leaning intellectual rather than sensual.

This suits someone drawn to linear, understated fragrances that prioritize concept over immediate impact. It works equally well for everyday wear and quieter seasons when you want something present but not demanding. If you appreciate the DNA of The Tactician, The Homesteader, and The Aristocrat, Collectors 12 x will likely resonate.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Fig Leaf
Fig Leaf
Sea Salt
Sea Salt
Crisp, ozonic, and slightly mineral, sea salt in perfumery doesn't smell 'wet' so much as briny and fresh, evoking a breeze from the ocean rather than a swimming pool. It adds a clean, outdoorsy quality to aquatic fragrances and pairs naturally with citrus and musks to create uncomplicated, wearable freshness.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Iris
Iris
One of perfumery's most prized and expensive ingredients, iris has a powdery, cool, almost carrot-like richness that is hard to describe and impossible to mistake. It's simultaneously earthy and refined, like the inside of an old Parisian couture house. Iris root (orris) adds quiet luxury to anything it touches.
Lotus
Lotus
Serene, aquatic, and faintly sweet, lotus sits between a water lily and a white floral, with a cool, meditative quality. It's simultaneously clean and warm, suggesting the scent of still water and temple incense. Frequently found in Asian-influenced and spa-inspired fragrances for its calm, contemplative character.
Freesia
Freesia
Bright, clean, and slightly peppery, freesia is a springtime flower with a fresh, almost citrusy edge that prevents it from reading as purely sweet. It's one of the more versatile florals, sitting comfortably in both delicate feminine compositions and fresh unisex fragrances. Approachable and elegant simultaneously.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
