MIND GAMES J'adoube is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Nathalie Benareau. J'adoube opens with Red Currant and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose and Pomegranate, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Patchouli, and Benzoin. MIND GAMES's J'adoube carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive scent, J'adoube splits opinions. Some find it a sophisticated, fruity leather statement, while others dismiss it as a synthetic 'fruitchouli' clone at a scandalous price. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

J'adoube opens with a vibrant burst of tart red currant and juicy mandarin, quickly followed by a rich, jammy rose and the unique tang of pomegranate. This fruity floral heart eventually settles into an earthy base of patchouli, entwined with dark, sensual notes of leather, warm amber, and resinous benzoin. It's a complex journey from bright and energetic to deep and mysterious.
