Opera Mate
Opera Mate by Mind Games is an unisex extrait de parfum from 2022 in the luxury price tier. It opens with chestnut, grapefruit and labdanum, moves into davana and vetiver and dries down to suede, caramel and sandalwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Chestnut Roasted, starchy and faintly sweet. Autumnal and comforting.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Heart
- Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Dry-down
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
