BRAND STORY In life and love, we are all participants in an infinite, cosmic game. Introducing MIND GAMES, a fragrance debut that transports you to the crucial moments of competition in a test of character, skill, and intellect. MIND GAMES compels you to ask yourself, are you a player who risks it all in the opening move, or do you hold your secrets close until the perfect moment? Can you anticipate your opponent’s intent before they take control? Will you use every ounce of skill, and any means necessary to remain the last player on the board after all the others have fallen? Calculating, deceptive, and devastatingly seductive, MIND GAMES is a fascinating exploration of passion, prowess, and unrivaled perception. MIND GAMES links the complex artistry best embodied by the strategy and brilliance of chess with the innovative and hypnotic effects of perfumery. The result is an inaugural fragrance line that delivers a scent wardrobe of extreme olfactive signatures. CHECK PLEASE Check Please paints a portrait of stylish, magnetic charm. Its character is defined by a refined twist reminiscent of apple cognac, opening with a refreshing burst of green apple balanced by sweet, nutty hints of nougat and hazelnut. At its heart, the deep allure of black plum melds with warm cinnamon bark to exude unmatched flair and create an air of intriguing mystique. As the fragrance unfolds, it reveals layers of complexity that speak to a sophisticated spirit, anchored by a rich foundation of oak barrel. The creamy allure of vanilla bourbon and amber deepens the scent into a lasting, elegant statement – a celebration of bold, unforgettable experiences. THE PERFUMER Born in Aix-en-Provence in the South of France, Laure Breysse has fond childhood memories of summers spent running through the aromatic hills of wild-grown rosemary, thyme, and immortelle flower. Her father, who worked in the cosmetic industry, unraveled her passion for perfume at a young age. Growing up in the outskirts of Paris, Laure’s passion for competitive horseback riding honed her balance of determination, focus, and passion. Laure joined the Symrise Fine Fragrance team in 2022 as Creative Perfumer after years of training. She borrows inspiration from her travels around the globe, bottling emotions and moments in time that are artfully balanced with precision and creativity. “Check Please is a refined take on the fruity gourmand, blending the elegance of dry plum with creamy sandalwood and rich vanilla for a deeply addictive warmth. A boozy apple twist adds a surprising brightness-this was my way of reimagining sweetness with a touch of sophistication.” -Laura Breysse, Perfumer THE SCENT Check Please melds the deep allure of black plum with warm cinnamon bark to exude unmatched flair and create an air of intriguing mystique.
