Outlet Mind Games Blockade

Blockade is a woody, leathery, fruity scent created for Men and Women in 2022 by perfumer Christelle Laprade.

Review

This scent is immediately refreshing and intoxicating with its blend of Mango and Bergamot. Subtle flowers, a touch of Pepper, and layers of Leather and Woods create a unique scent that will get you excited for anything and everything. It can be worn to the office, but is best suited for moments when you can be carefree and wild. It will work well in any weather and any season, matching your confident energy in the warmer months, and boosting your mood in the colder months. It has similarities to Hauts Bijoux from House of Sillage and Chypre Mojo 45 from Parle Moi de Parfum.

Inspiration

In Chess, Blockade is a defensive move that can keep your opponent’s Pawns from moving so you can advance your own pieces. With this Blockade, a dynamic blend of fruits, Leather, and woods energizes the mind and boosts your confidence, removing all thoughts of doubt or indecision.

Notes

A blast of Mango Skin starts things off with an exciting energy. Juicy Bergamot and the green essence of Tomato Leaf play on both the fruity and tart qualities of the Mango. A touch of Pink Pepper plays well with Lavender, while Mango Flower and Watery Cyclamen gently mellows the Star Anise. At the base, a blend of Leather, Patchouli, Amber, and Oud adds depth, warmth, and a velvety touch that creates the perfect combination of light and dark.
