Any time a brand receives recognition for their product being put into PR on a widescale, it's eventually going to land in front of someone who is going to rip it apart. This is the 7th Mind Games fragrance I've smelled in the last 3 days and so far they have topped out at 6.5/10 with not a single fragrance lasting for more than 6 hours. So needless to say, disaster was imminent and that disaster ended up being
Double Attack.
The scent actually opens quite interesting as you instantly pick up on the sweet and warm spicy accords. In my notes I wrote down "this smells like actual burnt sugar, but it's not in a Baccarat way", because it kind-of does. The scent is structured in a way where it builds on the cinnamon note in the heart by putting it on top of the listed sandalwood, making it feel somewhat like the structure of Casamorati's "Casamorati - Bouquet Ideale (Eau de Parfum) | XerJoff". It's a little bit like baking a cinnamon bun by a campfire.
But it all goes wrong as soon as you smell the scent on skin. From up-close this scent is a DISASTER. ABSOLUTE DISASTER. It's so bad that I don't even have a comparison to make as I urgently try to remember any fragrances with this type of base. One of the other users stated this scent smells like "a new roll of plastic wrap with cocoa powder dusted on top", in my original notes I wrote that it has a "synthetic burnt rubber style smell". I continuously kept smelling it 10, 20, 50 times and I just can't get this comparison down. In some parts, it smells like you spritzed window cleaner on a smoking grill while in others it's more like melting plastics and/or burning tires. Mind you, all of this is contrasted against the sweet-gourmandy notes (cinnamon and chocolate), meaning you have a synthetic disasterclass on which Mind Games has layered various sweet notes.
Double Attack now claims the titleholder of worst fragrance I've ever smelled, a title previously held by Parfums de Marly's
Hamdani. Relative to what one would expect from a synthetic-oriental gourmand fragrance, the performance here aligns with my experience thus far with Mind Games as not a single one of their fragrances can get strong, much less nuclear levels of sillage. I would place the longevity in the 8 hour ballpark on first wear, but it is unlikely I will revisit this so I leave that up to the crowd to decide.
At the end of the day,
Double Attack serves as an insult to the intelligence of those participating in the fragrance community. The influencer attacks us with their mostly worthless opinion and then the scent attacks you with its vileness.
