Mind Games' Soulmate Collection Expanded with Playmate & Check Please

— October 30, 2025 — Fashion
Mind Games, the brand creating luxury fragrances inspired by chess, expanded its Soulmate Collection with two new captivating scents: Playmate and Check Please.

Playmate is a bold and unforgettable amber fragrance Mind Games, thanks to notes like sweet Italian lemon, creamy coconut milk, water lily, jasmine, tiare flower, musk, and vanilla bean. Check Please, a refined gourmand, intrigues with green apple, nougat, hazelnut, black plum, and cinnamon bark, plus Bulgarian rose, oak barrel, vanilla bourbon, and amber. "These two fragrances embody the spirit of Mind Games," said Creative Director, Mariana Shalbaf, "Daring, sophisticated, and addictive."
