Mind Games

Mind Games is a New York-born luxury fragrance house founded in 2022 by Alex and Mariana Shalbaf, built on a single, elegant conceit: that scent, like chess, is strategy made sensory. Every composition is a considered move — bold, deliberate, and charged with emotion — drawn from the intricacy and timeless sophistication of the game.

Presented exclusively as high-concentration Extrait de Parfum, the collection is organized into distinct lines — the opulent Perfumer Extraordinaire series, the collectible Artisan chess-piece editions, and the intimate Soulmate range — each interpreting a different facet of the board. Compositions are built by celebrated noses on generous doses of precious materials: tonka bean absolute, oud, saffron, orris, amber and rare florals, finished in sculptural, chess-inspired bottles.

From the pistachio-and-tonka warmth of Kingside to the collectible King, Queen, Bishop and Knight editions of the Artisan line, Mind Games rewards the wearer who treats fragrance as self-expression and quiet power. Explore the full house of chess-inspired extraits, now available at Redolia.
