Tomato and Mango? Believe it or not. . .
I'd never have guessed I'd wear a tomato and mango fragrance but oh my goodness it's gorgeous. One of the best I've ever smelled in fact - it sparkles. I'm having a hard time finding something to complain about. It smells insanely good, the longevity is there, the projection is there, and the bottle is beautiful!

Honestly, I can't give this fragrance anything lower than a 9.5. Absolutely stunning in every regard.

Bomba summer scent
Wow, this scent is amazing. I only got a 1 ml decant of it, I put a drop on my forearm and I can still smell it hours later, it's incredibly long-lasting.
I don't have a sophisticated nose that can detect all the ingredients, but for me this smells 1:1 like Nishane Hacivat, which is okay, in fact both are divinely delicious. I have a bottle of Hacivat, but if I didn't have it, I would have this
A great summer scent.

A Unique Twist on the Aventus DNA
Yet another fragrance with the Aventus DNA. Personally, I think Blockade is exceptional. The tart mango and tomato leaf take it to a place others, in my opinion, have not gone. Though not as mature, some may like it better than the OG. To me, it also resembles Xerjoff Nio.

Do NOT try this if you are fatigued by this DNA. The price point is woefully high. However, this one may be good enough to sample if you are still interested in an exceptional fragrance with the Aventus DNA.

Great cinema without a screen
This fragrance is one of the few that has captivated me from the very first spray. I was actually hooked immediately :)

The vibrant and surprisingly unsweet mango is unique and long-lasting. Blockade effortlessly masters the high art of being "unobtrusively conspicuous" in the character of the jumper. Great cinema without a screen, indeed.
The top note is lively fresh yet absolutely elegant. A feel-good scent that doesn’t take itself too seriously but can still be taken very seriously. A fragrance of contradictions that is perfectly balanced. Sounds crazy and like random chaos? The scent is crazy, but it is simply PERFECTLY balanced.

Since the top note hardly fades on my skin, the good mood lingers. It is merely underpinned with a slightly spicy fougère elegance (lavender and star anise) and then gently settles onto a quite attractively appealing ambrostar-leather-oud-patchouli bed (read about it, but also actually smelled it :)).
I personally have never smelled such an uncomplicated yet highly complex fragrance.

I am floored. By a jumper. And I love it!

(PS: The previous reviews by Loukas and Max815 describe the fragrance wonderfully. I just HAD to chime in as well :))

Blockade - The Perfect Symbiosis of Green Freshness and Lasting Elegance
Blockade by Mind Games captivated me from the very first application and immediately drew me in. This perfume combines an incredible complexity with a refreshingly clear, green mango scent that is both exceptional and long-lasting.

What particularly distinguishes Blockade for me is the prominent mango note that comes across as not only fruity but also surprisingly green and fresh. This special combination gives the fragrance a distinctive liveliness that immediately stands out, both to oneself and to those around.
Right from the first spray, this note unfolds without being too dominant and integrates harmoniously with the other nuances of the perfume. The mango remains the heart of the fragrance and surprises especially with its extraordinary longevity. Even after several hours, it is still perceptible and ensures that the scent retains its freshness and dynamism.

The sillage is very good: The fragrance has a noticeable but not overpowering projection. One leaves a pleasantly fresh scent cloud that subtly fills the room without feeling heavy. The longevity here also leaves nothing to be desired. On my skin, it easily lasts the entire day without fading or losing intensity.

All in all, Blockade by Mind Games is an extraordinary perfume for all those seeking a unique, green-fresh mango scent that impresses with both its longevity and its sillage. This perfume effortlessly manages to be fresh, elegant, and simultaneously long-lasting - a rare combination that is sure to delight any fragrance lover.

A mango-heavy, lighter Aventus-type that starts strong and falls flat after 4-5 hours. Absolutely not worth $300+ price tag. 6.5/10.

Aventus clone + fruity mango= Blockade. Good, but nothing creative. The price should be at 100-200$ price range. Expect $drop after clones

Tropical fruity Aventus open, entire evolution is centered around mango & basically nothing else. Linear, boring and like most MG's, weak.

Equal parts fresh/realistic mandarin and candied mango slices. It's softened by smooth, white, milky musk + a hint of greenery.

Aventus DNA for even more money. Smells nice but disappears after a few hours. Not special enough for $395+tax.

Aventus reinvigorated with the masterfully fruity Mind Games DNA. Incredible scent, incredibly overpriced.

Blockade opens fresh with sweet, vibrant mango, drying down to a creamy, fruity and woody base. Lacks depth, but good for casual, warm days.
