<p><strong>What it is: </strong>A floral fragrance inspired by the scent of a perfectly ripe cantaloupe on a sunlit afternoon.</p><p><strong>Fragrance story: </strong>Counterplay is designed to disrupt the mundane and seize the momentum. The fragrance unfolds with a fruity top note that evokes a sense of joy. At its heart, a floral bouquet of honeyed osmanthus and creamy ylang-ylang add a layer of warmth to the juicy top note. The dry-down of patchouli and sandalwood maintain a dynamic balance and add a sophisticated dimension to the final composition.</p><p>'The inspiration for Counterplay mostly came from the juicy melon itself. I was intrigued by the contrast between its familiar sunny playfulness, universal appeal and the sensual layers that could be added to create something more dimensional and elevated like the layered moves that intensify and raise the stakes of a simple chess match.' - Christelle Laprade, Perfumer.</p><p>Introducing MIND GAMES, a fragrance debut that transports you to the crucial moments of competition in a test of character, skill and intellect.
