Mind Games French Defense Extrait note-tea and a warmDescription French Defense is a succulent black cherry gourmand floral wrapped in liqueur like warmth and a bed of velvety ambers and blonde woods. Composed by perfumer Christelle Laprade for the chess themed niche house Mind Games and released in 2023, French Defense leads with juicy black cherry and a boozy, liqueur soaked sweetness, then softens with rose, geranium and mimosa before drying down over amber, cedar and blonde woods.
