“The inspiration behind MIND GAMES is, first and foremost, love and respect for artisanal fragrance making and the complexity of its process. In addition to the inherent uniqueness of our compositions and small-batch manufacturing process, we have prioritized sustainability in every aspect of production. We extensively research the ingredients we source and use in our blends, the environmental impact of sourcing them, and how much is sourced at once. It is imperative that our methods, ingredients, and packaging are sustainable. We are proud to say we have managed to create luxury products without a high environmental impact.” – Alex Shalbaf, Founder and CEO.
