Playmate
Playmate by Mind Games is a feminine-leaning extrait de parfum from 2024 in the luxury price tier. It opens with coconut, water lily and lemon, moves into gardenia, jasmine and tiare and dries down to musk, vanilla, sandalwood and amber. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- Water Lily Watery floral. Soft, cool and slightly green.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Heart
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Tiare Creamy tropical white flower. Suntan lotion, in the best way.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
