coffee-brake
Got this as a sample along with my purchase of Diptyque Orpheon.
I'm always a bit jalous of those who are brave enough to smell like anything edible or drinkable and so I can't rate this scent as something I would wear.
But the scent as a scent is really stunning and beautyfully done!
It smells of the best coffee you ever had, an expensive coffee, bought in a shop wear they sell the best coffee beans.
I can clearly smell the rose and I must say: I don't like rose scents, but I do like the scent of rose combined with coffee :-)!
So for gourmand lovers and/or lovers of coffee who would like to smell like actual coffee, and I mean good coffee, I think this is a gem! I even think this can make one skip their coffee, because smelling it, is almost like actually drinking it :-).

Like an elegant coffee shop in a hotel lobby.
When I smell this fragrance it reminds me a lot of a hotel near me. Inside the lobby there is a little coffee and pastry store. The smell of the soft yet expensive coffee almost permeates throughout the lobby mixed with the pleasant floral touch reminiscent of a high brow resort, these scents seem to clash and create this beautiful symphony that is so unbelievably good.
Mind games outdid themselves with this one, one of the fragrances from them worth the full 400$ price tag.

Luxury at its FINEST..
This fragrance here is the definition of luxury. I fell in love with it at first sniff. I was at Neiman Marcus when I stumbled across the Mind Games line, & this is my favorite out of the 10.

This is dark, but not too dark. The florals in this makes the darkness of this fragrance soothing, & a tad bit fresh to make it pleasing to the nose.
Very alluring, mysterious, & luxurious. This is unlike anything I have ever smelled before.. VERY unique.

This is my favorite fragrance to date, & I love wearing it on cold, cloudy days because it suits that ambient vibe.

Grand Rising
Grand Master is a remarkable rose/coffee fragrance that arrests the imagination.

SCENT: The opening is light, ambery and floral, with the rose note taking center stage without being too dominant and overwhelming. The rose, without disappearing, eventually gives way to blackcurrant and coffee, transforming Grand Master to more of a gourmand. Admittedly, the profile range is narrow, but it still manages a warm, inviting complexity.

LONGEVITY: On my skin, 3 sprays lasts for 8-10 hours.

SILLAGE: Be careful with this one. It's truly an extrait and can get away from you if sprayed too liberally. This is elegant and meant to be reservedly appreciated. Although I get compliments whenever I wear it, beast mode seekers should look elsewhere.

BOTTLE: Mind Games bottles are among the most thoughtful and artistically rendered in the game.

VALUE FOR THE MONEY: This is where it gets tricky. Mind Games charges a premium for it's fragrances (and seems to have engendered a great deal of resentment for doing so). I was lucky enough to get a bottle for $200 but the retail is nearly twice that. As much as I love the fragrance, I likely wouldn't have purchased it for double what I paid.

Worst cologne I ever smelled
Terrible!! I can't wrap my nose or mind around why people even like this scent. It legit Smells like a diaper bag and baby powder. If I wanted a divorce from my wife and I was too afraid to tell her I would wear this and she would divorce me instead. I wouldn't let my worst enemy put this on. If my son put this on I would put him up for adoption. All jokes aside though this a terrible smell. I guess the only positive thing I can say about it is it's unique. I put this on my wrist and had to scrub it off. I don't trust the opinion of any one who wears this it's def an acquired taste but hey if you are into smelling like smokey diaper bags and baby powder then this is your scent. If not, avoid at all costs

By far the best of Mind Games' Dark Collection. Sweet and smokey, yet grounded with coffee and rounded out with rose. Overall: 7.5/10.

Best of the Dark collection, but still mid. Opens oriental amber-floral, develops coffee & rose. Maybe between Oud Satin and Mystic Exp...?

Very nice. Very safe. Very mainstream. Nothing stands out to me as special. It's just a nice fragrance.

Safe, leans slightly feminine, but a man could still wear it. It's confident but not aggressive. Bold florals with a warm, sweet, woody base
