Reviews

Smells like airy, super fresh candied green mango with the skin on. Similar vein to aventus, but much different, better in my opinion. Amazing hot weather scent. Ideal on a hot summers day, the beach, or somewhere tropical. I personally wouldn’t wear this as a signature scent, I see it much more as a summertime exclusive. The performance on my skin is pretty lackluster, one of the weakest in my whole 25+ bottle collection. Luckily it’s a hot weather scent which entails a button down or t shirt, so I’ve just sprayed on clothes. It lasts a long long time on clothes. Overall, I’d give this an 8.5 Smells extremely high quality and luxurious but after some time spent with it, a little too green on my skin. Otherwise it would be a higher grade.

It’s like if that Aventus DNA was developed along with Elysium’s bouqet of fruits. Stands out on its own for sure but I only have a small sample (atomizer sucks) and it’s a quite complex fragrance. With these being such peak luxury fragrances both in price as well as scent profile, Elysium is (within the context of a wealthy family) the young 20 something year old that has wild parties while Blockade is his more calm/mature but similarly aged artsy brother. Just wanna make sure I’m clear that I’m not saying the notes I get in this are what I get in Elysium but they definitely carry similar vibes in a really good way. No redundancy at all.

I don't know if it has been reformulated but for me the performance is very very weak. Only two hours

My favorite of the Mind Games line. J'adoube is a close second. This is fresh spicy and fruity. I never saw the hype in Aventus as it just did not perform well for me, I guess due to my skin composition. This is basically a better version of Aventus for me, with added mango. I actually also still get some pineapple despite not being listed as a note. 8.5/10

dry down is very similar to Hacivat, except it is a little softer. Opens up with mango at the top instead of the pineapple. Slightly more tropical take on that DNA
