Mind Games - Blockade

MIND GAMES links the complex artistry best embodied by the strategy and brilliance of Chess with the innovative and hypnotic effects of perfumery. Blockade reimagines our perception of the enemy. Removing our inner thoughts of doubt and indecision, Blockade puts our weakness to work for our advancement. A vivacious freshness takes hold as mango, spicy pepper, and tomato leaf permeate what was once impenetrable. Smooth, calculated, and dynamic, the alluring scents of Lavender, Patchouli and Oud make it a fragrance that inspires action and growth, in a sophisticated and timeless offering.

Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Lavender is one of the oldest, and most common perfume ingredients in the world. It’s gentlemanly, scrubbed, soapy/powdery feel is a staple of men’s colognes. Lavender has a slightly spicy edge as well, which makes it a universally blendable note in perfume. It can add a clean edge to aromatic or animalic scents, and deepen zesty citrus notes with its subtle, herbal facets. But most of all, lavender is associated with fresh, clean, pure, old-school elegance. It’s well-heeled sophistication is appropriate for any time of year, and it makes an excellent choice for either sex to wear casually or formally.

    It’s an okay scent. Nothing to write home about but not horrible either.

    Love tha mango
    wonderful and long-lasting. It has a powerful scent that isn't overwhelming, unlike mangos themselves. Mangos, they are truly the George Clooney of the fruit world. Yeah, everyone likes mangoes, but understanding them and consuming them without issue is another matter entirely. Everyone knows mangoes are politically active and socially conscious, but is that just a ruse to elude suspicion of the mangoes affilliation with the illuminati? When was the last time you cared about a mango in a movie? It's reasonable to guess that you haven't in a long time, yet for some reason, mangoes remain present and unwarranted in the zeitgeist. What are mangoes hiding under that rhino skin of secrets? How much power do mangoes REALLY have in this world? And when is that too much power? Wake up people, mangoes are not your friends. They don't want to be eaten, they want to feed. One soul is how it starts, and consuming the entire planet's population will never be enough. Vote for Taylor Swift, the president we need but will never deserve.
