Beautiful Fragrance

Let me start by saying that I think J’Adoube is magnificent. It’s 1 of 3 Mind Games fragrances I own and each of them is unique and complex.

For me, the 3 most prominent notes are rose, fruit (primarily pomegranate) & leather. The rose & pom are front and center. Initially, after dry down, the smoothest, most buttery soft leather imaginable emerges to play a supporting role.

There are underlying notes - patchouli chief among them - but the extraordinary interplay between the 3 main players is what makes this a masterpiece. Elegant, intricate & enriching, J’Adoube is the smell of perfumery reaching its full potential.

A Tricky but Rewarding Scent

The first time I sprayed J'Adoube on my wrist as a test run, my immediate reaction was "well, this isn't for me." The key here is *sprayed,* though; J'Adoube hit me hard in the face with fruity sweetness upon first contact with my skin. As it dried down, I started picking up what Mind Games was putting down with this scent. By the end, I was hooked. When the dust settles on my endless search for good smelling stuff, this might be my signature if my wallet can stand it.

The pomegranate that threw the first punch doesn't disappear on drydown, but it settles in with a nice leather tunic and is subsequently doused in a kind of amber note that may as well be pomegranate's amber twin. It comes across in sillage as a kind of unisex fragrance treatise, with all three of these elements resting comfortably in some sort of aerial equilateral triangle of the traditionally masculine, the traditionally feminine, and the amber uniting the two. It's like how an immaculately-mixed cocktail tastes like all of its elements and yet one singular new thing simultaneously. And that cocktail lasts for a very long time and projects well! I'd almost say it's "linear" in a way, but the line itself is unique.

I think a scent like this is pretty important! Fruits are often cordoned off in the "feminine" category in scents. Oh, sure, those of us on the masculine side can have some citrus as a treat, and we must graciously remember that bergamot is also a fruit, and maybe we'll hide a bit of apple on the top end of something, but come on - we weren't marketed to with those fun Escada tropical things back in the late 90s. We're thrown wood, grass, resin, leather, tobacco - like we all need to be reminded of a 60s boardroom or a ranch. And that's fine, but let's go; we can handle the fruit! J'Adoube takes us further into juicy red fruits under the cover of amber, and I couldn't be more thrilled.

Tested, in love, bought!

The headline of the review describes my personal encounter with J'adoube.
It was love at first smell - if you like :)
The scent is so awesome, I just can't stop smelling it myself, even after 8 hours it is still present and unfolds into a totally cozy warm scent that you want to have around you all the time. My J'adoube and I are already best friends :)
