Mind Games - The Forward

A modern and unisex scent that ignites the senses and commands attention, the Forward leads with a blend of vibrant, shimmering citruses in a bold and unforgettable opening which sets the stage for the smooth and subtle appearance of florambers and gourmands. Captivating from the first move, and further enthralling with each move after, the Forward reveals its depth and sophistication as multifaceted subtleties of salt, jasmine, and vanilla join the movement. Regal and daring, yet soft and refined, The Forward goes beyond expectations, a fragrance that sets a new standard.

Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Lemon’s zingy, zesty, sunshine-bright enthusiasm brings a happy, energetic feel to a fragrance. It’s an ideal note for summer wear, especially in the most humid weather. It’s also one of the freshest and most invigorating opening notes in a scent, and it pairs well with light floral and softly spiced fragrances. Lemon makes a fantastic office or workout scent, with it’s brisk acidity and puckery power. It is wearable day or night, but makes its best impression in fresh, light, effervescent perfumes meant for refreshing your senses.

    So fresh, so complex. Love it.
    The only downside is that now I'm considering spending $400 on a full bottle

    amazing for summer/fall
    great citrus fruity opening with musky vanilla dry down which is slightly similar to pdm althair (the best vanilla in my opinion). Great for Summer evenings and Fall. Some say it is feminine but I would say the opening is just slightly feminine leaning with the dry down being more masculine. Overall a pretty unisex fragrance.

    Unique
    This scent is amazing! One spray and it has lasted all day. It is truly a unisex fragrance. My husband and tried it and it gave very masculine woodsy aroma. The fragrance gave me a bit of spice and sweet mix that is so unique. I will definitely purchase this fragrance. My favorite so far.
