EDP · 2022 · unisex

Mind Games is an indie fragrance house known for bold, unconventional compositions that prioritize originality over mass appeal. The brand has built a following among fragrance enthusiasts who appreciate departure from mainstream formulas.

Blockade opens with bright mango and bergamot, softened by pink pepper and tomato leaf for an unusual green-fruity character. The heart develops around mango blossom and lavender, with watery cyclamen and star anise adding floral texture and subtle spice. The base is where Blockade shows its woody DNA, anchored by amber, patchouli, oud, and suede to create a warm, earthy finish that grounds the fruity opening. The fragrance balances fresh and woody elements throughout, never settling entirely into one lane.

This is best suited for those comfortable with unconventional combinations and who appreciate when fruity and woody elements sit in creative tension. It works well as a year-round fragrance but excels during cooler months when the amber and oud become more prominent. Blockade aligns with The Sensualist, The Aristocrat, and The Maverick profiles.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Mango
Mango
Tropical, lush, and intensely sweet, mango has a ripe, creamy warmth with a faint green edge from the skin. In perfumery it adds an immediate, unambiguous tropical richness. Can read as deeply exotic or simply cheerful depending on context. Often used in combination with citrus or floral notes to prevent it from feeling one-dimensional.
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.
Pink Pepper
Pink Pepper
Fruity, slightly rosy, and gently spiced, pink pepper is softer and more aromatic than black pepper. It occupies a unique space between citrus, floral, and spice families, which makes it exceptionally versatile. You'll find it in contemporary fresh fragrances where it adds lift and personality without aggression.
Tomato Leaf
Tomato Leaf
Green, sharp, and intensely vegetal, tomato leaf (the stem and leaves, not the fruit) has a distinctive, almost aggressively green freshness. It smells like the inside of a greenhouse: humid, herbal, and slightly acrid. Used to add a raw, photosynthetic freshness to compositions that want something more unusual than cut grass.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Mango Blossom
Mango Blossom
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Watery Cyclamen
Watery Cyclamen
Star Anise
Star Anise
Bold, licorice-like, and slightly medicinal, star anise is more forceful than fennel and deeper than anise seed. It has a warm, sweet spiciness that reads as exotic and slightly retro. Used in oriental and gourmand fragrances to add an assertive, distinctive character that is impossible to mistake for anything else.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Agarwood (Oud)
Agarwood (Oud)
Suede
Suede
Soft, slightly powdery, and skin-warm, suede accord in perfumery captures the scent of fine-grained leather without the raw animal quality of heavy leather notes. It's simultaneously woody and musky, creating a second-skin warmth that feels intimate and tactile. The note that makes certain fragrances feel like cashmere.
