Founded in 2022 by Alex and Mariana Shalbaf, Mind Games is a niche fragrance house that draws on the strategy, artistry and psychological intrigue of chess. Developed with master perfumers at Symrise, its extrait de parfum creations pair expressive compositions with sculptural bottles inspired by chess pieces. The original Artisan Collection introduced signatures including Blockade, J’Adoube and Double Attack, while the Soulmate Collection expanded the house’s exploration of connection and individuality. Mind Games appeals to fragrance enthusiasts seeking unconventional storytelling, considered craftsmanship, artistic expression and bold olfactory character, where every fragrance suggests a deliberate move.
