Mind Games - French Defense

A sophisticated fragrance that exudes true confidence, French Defense takes control in a tantalizing scent of succulent black cherry, seductive notes of smooth liqueurs, and a bed of velvety woods and ambers. Soft florals are woven throughout the composition bringing a quiet grace and natural beauty to its structure. Completely captivating, French Defense rises to every occasion, with a scent that sets the tone for success.

Woody Fruity
Fragrances in the Woody Fruity family open with fruit and citrus top notes that soften and add warmth to the woods. These scents beautifully balance the juxtaposition of bright, fresh notes with the creamy smoothness of woods.

    Masterpiece
    French Defense is a masterpiece of a fragrance. It is beautifully blended and unlike any other cherry fragrance I've ever smelled. On my skin, it does not project whatsoever. I've tried it in different seasons, and the performance is poor.

    This perfume smells really good. I can smell the cherry in it, and it lasts a long time. You should try it.
