MIND GAMES Double Attack is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Christelle Laprade. Double Attack opens with Chili, Bitter Orange, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Geranium, Cinnamon, and Agave, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla. MIND GAMES's Double Attack carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, this chocolate-forward fragrance struggles with performance for some, while others find its luxurious depth irresistible. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, certainly not a safe blind buy, especially given the hefty price tag.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While its sillage is moderate and some find its longevity lacking, the warm, spicy chocolate profile makes it ideal for evening wear, especially dates and formal events. The unique scent could be a bit much for a typical office setting, but it's acceptable for casual outings, particularly in colder weather.

About

Double Attack opens with a bold, spicy kick of chili and pink pepper, brightened by a zesty bitter orange. This lively start quickly softens into a warm, inviting heart where cinnamon and geranium mingle with an unexpected hint of agave. The real star, however, is the rich, dark chocolate base, expertly blended with creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and a whisper of vanilla, creating a sophisticated gourmand experience that avoids being overly sweet.
