Since its exclusive debut at Neiman Marcus in 2022, MIND GAMES has continued to push the boundaries of luxury perfumery. The multi-sensory installation at the Neiman Marcus NorthPark store further brings the precision of chess to life alongside the artistry of perfumery. The result is an immersive experience that reflects the brand's commitment to innovation.
“Our partnership with Neiman Marcus has redefined how luxury fragrance is discovered,” says Alex Shalbaf, Founder of MIND GAMES and CEO of The Fragrance Group. “This activation invites guests to engage with scent in a completely new way-where strategy, storytelling and sensory immersion converge.”
“We are excited for our customers to deepen their experiences in the world of MIND GAMES,” says Tatiana Birkelund, VP, GBM, Beauty, Jewelry & Home, Neiman Marcus. “MIND GAMES continues to push the boundaries of scent artistry. We're bringing our customers expertly crafted fragrances through an immersive experience that captures the essence of the brand's visionary approach to perfumery.”
Open now through May 5, the Neiman Marcus NorthPark installation revolutionizes fragrance discovery, offering a unique multisensory exploration in which customers can explore the raw materials behind MIND GAMES' most beloved scents. By experiencing the materials in their purest form-smelling each note individually before encountering the full composition-fragrance enthusiasts are able to embark on a truly transformative journey.
As part of this experience, MIND GAMES will also spotlight its PerfumerExtraordinaire collection. This collection offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look into fragrance creation, with each bottle accompanied by two lab samples of the raw ingredients featured in the composition.
— Mentor – A rich, sophisticated scent blending salted caramel, Italian lemon, and dark plum with coffee, crème de cassis, and sandalwood.
— Prodigy – A refined, modern fragrance featuring bergamot, cinnamon, and rose milk layered over creamy caffè latte, patchouli, and blonde woods.
To celebrate the partnership, customers and friends of the two brands will soon gather in the installation space at an exclusive event to explore the brand's latest creations. The celebrations will continue with additional events, expert-led fragrance masterclasses and curated moments to further deepen the connection between scent and strategy for the duration of the installation.
“At MIND GAMES, every detail-from our sculptural bottles to the intricate compositions of our fragrances-is designed to spark emotion and inspire greatness,” says Marianna Shalbaf, Creative Director of MIND GAMES. “The Neiman Marcus NorthPark experience will open the complex world of perfumery to our guests and allow them to step inside the artistry of our brand, immersing themselves in the world of strategy, creativity, and scent.”
Later this year, the fragrance house will also release two new fragrances, Kingside and Queenside, exclusively at Neiman Marcus. This release reinforces the brand's dedication to innovation, craftsmanship, and the fusion of strategy and scent.
