From your scent profile
Mind Games Mentor is a unisex scent that ties a fruity, gourmand sweetness to a spicy, resinous woodiness, and it suits evenings and nights in the cooler months best.

What does Mentor smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, with few choosing summer. Evenings and nights out lead the occasions, while office wear sits well behind. Voters lean towards masculine, though a fair share see it as feminine, and many call it modern.
It opens with plum, Italian lemon and salted caramel, a tart fruit set against sweet caramel. Amber, coffee and blackcurrant liqueur then deepen the heart. White oud, sandalwood and tonka bean leave a warm, sweet woodiness at the base. Welton L'Amour Absolu and Lattafa Pride Eternal Oud have a close profile.
