{"product_id":"mind-games-blockade-extrait","title":"Mind Games Blockade Extrait","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlockade is a woody leathery fruity extrait de parfum from Mind Games, composed by perfumer Christelle Laprade and launched in 2022. It opens with juicy mango skin, pink pepper and green tomato leaf, moves into a lavender and star anise heart, and settles into a base of velvety suede, amber, patchouli and genuine agarwood. In chess, a blockade is a piece parked directly in front of an opposing pawn to permanently stop its advance, and this fragrance is built the same way, designed to hold its ground on skin rather than fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFresh (mango, bergamot, tomato leaf): 25%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOud: 18%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpicy (pink pepper, star anise): 17%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoody: 17%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloral (lavender, mango flower): 16%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet: 7%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/strong\u003e a fresh, spice-flecked fruit opening that most fruity fragrances don't follow through on, here it's anchored by real agarwood and suede, so the fragrance darkens and deepens rather than staying light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance Pyramid\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mango Skin, Pink Pepper, Tomato Leaf, Bergamot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lavender, Mango Flower, Watery Cyclamen, Star Anise\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suede, Agarwood (Oud), Amber, Patchouli\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent, 8 to 10+ hours on skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy.
