J'Adoube Extrait de Parfum

What it is: A bold scent from MIND GAMES, a fragrance line that transports you to the crucial moments of competition.

Fragrance story: J'adoube begins with a whisper of warning. I move, it hints, yet I remain the same. J'adoube. I adjust. I reposition, I recalculate, I reconsider. The fragrance takes the time to acquaint us with our own inhibitions, unafraid to explore our darkness and distracts us from the notion that we are fixed in a moment or place in time. An intriguing sensation engulfs us in an opening of pomegranate, rouge groseille and mandarin, as the fragrance surges forward in a wave of tantalizing sweetness. Jadoube develops and expands into an intense experience, realizing the excitement found in the anticipation of a new love, a raw and singular beginning. Its evolution towards a bold and deep base of leather, patchouli and ambrostar, bring focus to chaos, grounding the scent in a disciplined declaration of intent while remaining wholly spontaneous and free. J'adoube represents this juxtaposition of abandon and control moving between notes seamlessly, in a fragrance that is equally dramatic as compelling. Inspiration: In chess, players say 'j'adoube' if they want to adjust the position of a piece, but not move it. I wanted to nod the history of this term with the incorporation of pomegranate, a juicy, precise fruity note that adds an element of excitement. The bold black suede accord gives the fragrance strength and a firm foundation, very much like the rooks role in the game.' - Nathalie Benareau, Perfumer.
