Mentor
Mentor by Mind Games is an unisex extrait de parfum from 2023 in the luxury price tier. It opens with salted caramel, lemon and plum, moves into coffee and blackcurrant and dries down to oud, sandalwood and tonka bean. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Salted Caramel Caramel with a mineral edge. Less cloying than it sounds.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
Heart
- Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
