Luxury fragrance house MIND GAMES expands its Soulmate Collection with two new fragrances, Playmate and Check Please. These new scents will be launched this October and sold exclusively through mindgamesfragrance.com and at Selfridges stores worldwide, the prestigious retailer known for its influential role in the beauty industry.
“Partnering with Selfridges for this launch is an incredible milestone for us,” said Alex Shalbaf, Founder and CEO of MIND GAMES. “Selfridges has long been a leader in bringing forward-thinking, luxury experiences to clients, and we are thrilled to introduce Playmate and Check Please in such an iconic space. This partnership reflects our shared dedication to creativity, artistry, and unforgettable storytelling through fragrance.”
To celebrate the launch of Check Please and Playmate, MIND GAMES will present a week-long installation at Selfridges London from 30 October to 5 November, offering customers an immersive encounter with the brand’s artistry and captivating vision. The brand will also have a visual presence in Birmingham at the Level 2 men’s department from 24–30 November, followed by an atrium display from 1 December to 25 January. These installations will feature campaign imagery from the Check Please and Playmate campaigns, offering a visual storytelling experience that complements the fragrances. This Selfridges program, together with other exclusive activations to be announced, underscores the scale and significance of MIND GAMES’ launch, highlighting the Soulmate Collection through a blend of narrative, immersive experiences, and luxury on an international level.
Continuing MIND GAMES’ signature blend of olfactory artistry and the intellectual elegance of chess, the new fragrances explore themes of intrigue, seduction, and refined mastery.
Playmate
Playmate is an enticing dance of passion and intrigue, opening with sweet Italian lemon and the creamy caress of coconut milk. Its heart reveals water lily, jasmine, and tiare flower, before settling into a rich, sensual dry down of musk, vanilla bean, and golden amber. An Amber fragrance designed to be both addictive and unforgettable, Playmate is a fragrance for those who revel in the thrill of connection.
MSRP: $395 (US) / £270 (UK)
Check Please
Magnetic and sophisticated, Check Please exudes charm with a refined gourmand twist. The fragrance opens with green apple, nougat, and hazelnut, before revealing an alluring heart of black plum, Bulgarian rose, and cinnamon bark. Anchored by oak barrel, vanilla bourbon, and amber, it is a celebration of bold experiences and lasting impressions.
