{"product_id":"mind-games-sissa-extrait","title":"Mind Games Sissa Extrait","description":"\u003cp\u003eSissa by Mind Games is a unisex musky vanilla fragrance launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Christelle Laprade. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop notes are Sesame, Coumarin and Ambrette (Musk Mallow); middle notes are Tonka Bean, Milk and Jasmine Sambac; base notes are Madagascar Vanilla, Musk and Labdanum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I was inspired to play with edible notes in a new way, less traditional sweet facets but more savory, warmed elements. Ambrette Seed leads the fragrance in warmth allowing the toasted sesame seed and coumarin heart to open and grow against the contrast of the enveloping, resinous facets of the labdanum in the finish. This fragrance feels personal and has a cocooning trail.\" - Christelle Laprade, Perfumer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMind Games Sissa Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragrantica - I’ve been craving this perfume for months on end. The notes made me feel like wearing this would simulate a warm fresh sesame bun hugging me on a bed of tonka. And oh yes it is. This smells like a warm fluffy bread with toasted sesame seeds that was also baked with vanilla extract, accompanied by a warm glass of milk. Starts tonka and coumarin heavy, dries down more sesame and warm. Super cozy and beautiful, will buy this soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - If you want to smell warm, cozy and very unique- I would recommend this. It smells expensive and sophisticated. Very modern. I would say this is a modern gourmand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - a cozy toasted smore-y vanilla dream. smells like a toasted marshmallow latte. great for the winter season. you want to smell like a perfectly toasted smore? get this. thinking of committing to a full bottle for the winter season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003etldr: cozy smore with an extra toasted marshmallow. great balance between the sweetness and the \"toasted-ness\" in this perfume resulting in a nicely blended gourmand that is both unique and non cloying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - One word - HOMERUN!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - Instant love affair after trying my sample. Sesame might be my new favorite note. A friend had some \"black sesame mochi\" ice cream that smelled good and inspired me to look for sesame as a note. This perfume Sissa does NOT smell like food, more like a shisha or incense I once had that I cannot name. But unlit incense, no smoky! It's very mysterious and yet lighthearted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - Oh my gosh, this is so freaking good! It smells like a yummier, cozier version of milk by commodity. It smells least like the personal, kind of like the bold, and very much like the expressive. I find it like the combo of the best things about the three versions and more! It’s yummier, warmer and sweeter! Some people say I smell like fig nectar. I think I smell like warm sweetened milk one might drink as a kid or marshmallows over a slightly smoky fire! I sure love this Milk (Pro Max)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BLEND! Sometimes sesame can overpower fragrances but here it’s just subtly intertwined with all the other notes making this so cozy and sweet. Lactonic yet airy, in the same family as commodity milk\/gold but smoother. Is this full bottle worthy? Yes!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - I just have stars in my eyes and cant formulate the words for my love of Sissa.  I purchased a few decants recently (heavy hitters - BR540, Greenwich Village, Nolita, Lionora ,etc)....and Sissa was the clear cut winner. I couldnt stop thinking about her! It was love at first sniff. I knew immediately she was the signature frag I'd been waiting for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - Floral, yet vanilla-lactonic and creamy. On my skin it feels very similar to Bianco Latte, but with a touch more floral elegance. Great longevity and strong sillage. I’d consider a full bottle once my Bianco Latte is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - If \"toasted\" was a fragrance, this would be it. Toasted sesame, tonka, and vanilla - like a crunchy, nuttier Bianco Latte. Heavy on the coumarin, but this does it in a way I haven't smelled before. I didn't like this at first but it became strangely addicting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - Nice sesame with sweet and creamy tonka that has a slight saltiness to curb down the sweetness. Very easy to wear if you like sweet or gourmand scents. Very unisex. And definitely not the screaming for attention type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - It's a more interesting and unique vanilla-esque perfume. It's musky, nutty, and lactonic. It's perfect for the cold winter months, and so underrated. This is what I wanted Italica by Xerjoff to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - a bit dense and nutty during the first hour or so, but sissa settles into a gorgeous and creamy blend of vanilla, musk, and coumarin. it has an airiness that a lot of the other recent lactonic gourmand perfumes lack, making this a much easier and more enjoyable wear. not in the notes but i swear i get a hint of coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - I bought the Amber-based 5 piece set of the Mind Games line specifically for French Defense, but Sissa is quickly becoming my favorite.\u003cbr\u003eI am so unfamiliar with those top notes in perfumery that this is such a unique delight for me! I mean, sesame seed oil? C'mon. It doesn't even sound appealing, but my God, I CAN smell the toasted sesame... and it's heavenly. The conjunction of sesame with the other sweet notes is total bliss.\u003cbr\u003eThe roasted tonka is definitely most prominent on me, and although it's very sweet, the muskiness of this makes this perfectly unisex. I would love to smell this on a man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - this is beautiful. What I wanted Commodity Milk to be. Light and airy sweetness. Lactonic perfume my love🫶🏻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica - THIS is what I was hoping Blanche Bete would smell like! Sissa is beautifully lactonic, nutty, sweet and comforting. It reminds me heavily of Lost in a Dream from Navitus and Commodity's Milk (these two are dupes to my nose), but Sissa smells smoother and a bit sweeter which I really enjoy. And it's also got the wonderfully nutty quality of the sesame...This is easily my favorite scent that I've tried from Mind Games so far.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mind Games","offers":[{"title":"1\/2 ML - 1\/2 Filled Sample Vial","offer_id":46810182123681,"sku":"MindGamesSissa-1\/2","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML - Glass Sample Vial","offer_id":46810182156449,"sku":"MindGamesSissa-1","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML - Glass Spray in a 2 ML Atomizer","offer_id":46810182189217,"sku":"MindGamesSissa-1S","price":12.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":46810182221985,"sku":"MindGamesSissa-2","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":46810182254753,"sku":"MindGamesSissa-3","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":46810182287521,"sku":"MindGamesSissa-5S","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - roll on glass","offer_id":46810182320289,"sku":"MindGamesSissa-5R","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":46810182353057,"sku":"MindGamesSissa-8","price":91.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":46810182385825,"sku":"MindGamesSissa-15","price":171.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1993\/6689\/files\/MindGamesFrenchDefense.jpg?v=1785251980","url":"https:\/\/theperfumedcourt.com\/products\/mind-games-sissa-extrait","provider":"The Perfumed Court","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
