J adoube by Mind Games channels the strategy and suspense of chess and perfumery, moving with both abandon and control. A warning whisper opens with rouge groseille Di and Madagascar mandarin oil, morphing into an intense wave of bright red pomegranate and Damascene rose. The scent deepens with a bold, leathery base—ambrostar, benzoin vintage leather, patchouli oil, and sulawesi—grounding chaos in determination. Perfumer Nathalie Benareau nods to the chess term j adoube , infusing juicy pomegranate and a potent black suede accord, echoing the firm foundation of a rook. J adoube s composition is dramatic and compelling, evoking excitement, grounded intent, and the freedom to adjust and transform at every move.
