MIND GAMES Prodigy is an Extrait de Parfum. Prodigy opens with Bergamot, Rose, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Longoza, and dries down to a base of Blond Woods, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. MIND GAMES's Prodigy carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, Prodigy is a bold, complex rose fragrance that's either a masterful blend of creamy gourmand woods or a chaotic mess with a 'bacon-like' or 'piss-soaked rose' quality. Sample before you splurge on this love-it-or-hate-it scent.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Prodigy opens with a sophisticated burst of delicate rose, bright bergamot, and a spicy kick from cardamom, immediately signalling its complex nature. As it settles, the heart reveals an earthy patchouli woven with the exotic sweetness of longoza, adding depth and a slightly boozy, spiced nuance. The drydown is a luxurious embrace of creamy vanilla and warm blond woods, softened by smooth sandalwood, creating a rich, almost milky gourmand finish that lingers for ages.
