THE RUSH:
Blockade – Mind Games
Blockade by Mind Games is a bold, dynamic unisex fragrance launched in 2022 and created by perfumer Christelle Laprade. Smooth, calculated, and transformative, this scent is designed to inspire momentum, confidence, and forward motion.
Blockade opens with an unexpected burst of juicy mango skin, vibrant bergamot, aromatic tomato leaf, and spicy pink pepper. This fresh yet edgy introduction immediately commands attention. At the heart, mango blossom blends with lavender, watery cyclamen, and star anise, creating a sophisticated balance of brightness and depth.
As the fragrance settles, it reveals its powerful foundation — a warm, sensual base of suede leather, amber, oud, and patchouli. The drydown is smooth, addictive, and commanding, combining velvety leather accords with resinous woods and amber warmth.
Inspired by the image of metallic armor brought to life, Blockade reimagines vulnerability as strength. Its contrasting freshness and warmth symbolize resilience, growth, and calculated power.
