J'Adoube
J'Adoube by Mind Games is an unisex extrait de parfum from 2022 in the luxury price tier. It opens with red berries and mandarin, moves into pomegranate and damask rose and dries down to ambroxan, benzoin, leather and patchouli. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Pomegranate Tart, juicy and jewel-red. Sharper than most berries.
- Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
Dry-down
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
