Mind Games publishes an official Top, Middle and Drydown structure for Mentor. The notes below follow the current brand presentation.

Top Notes

• Salted Caramel
• Italian Lemon
• Dark Plum

Heart Notes

• Amber
• Coffee
• Crème de Cassis

Base Notes

• Boya Oud
• Sandalwood
• Tonka Bean

Mind Games specifically identifies Boya Oud and amber resin as defining materials in Mentor, with the oud providing smoky earthiness and amber contributing warmth and depth.

Mentor opens with a combination of salted caramel and dark plum, creating a rich, fruity sweetness immediately balanced by the brightness of Italian lemon.

As the fragrance develops, coffee, amber and crème de cassis introduce a darker, warmer character. The coffee adds roasted depth, while cassis reinforces the fruitiness with a tart, concentrated blackcurrant effect.

In the drydown, Boya Oud becomes especially important, bringing smoky, earthy contrast to the sweeter notes. Sandalwood and tonka bean smooth the composition with creamy woods and warm sweetness, resulting in a gourmand fragrance with a distinctly woody and oud-driven foundation.

Mentor's extrait concentration and combination of caramel, coffee, amber, oud, sandalwood and tonka bean give it a rich, substantial character. It is especially well suited to evenings, dinners, date nights, formal occasions and cooler-weather wear.

Fall and winter are natural matches for its warm gourmand and woody profile, although it can also work during cooler spring evenings or climate-controlled settings throughout the year.

Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment.

Mentor moves between sweet gourmand notes and darker woody materials, making skin testing especially useful. Depending on the wearer, salted caramel and plum may feel more prominent at first, while coffee, amber and Boya Oud can become increasingly noticeable as the fragrance develops.

A 3ml Mentor sample provides multiple opportunities to experience the full progression of the fragrance before moving to a larger travel-size decant.

• 5ml Travel Spray: Approximately 40–50 sprays
