How does the oud in Mentor compare to other ouds on the market?+−
The white oud used here is noted for being "clean" and smoky rather than earthy or medicinal. It provides a sophisticated backbone to the sweet notes without the polarizing funk often found in more traditional Middle Eastern oud fragrances.
Is this suitable for the office or daily wear?+−
Because of its extreme sillage and powerhouse performance, the community generally advises against wearing it in small office settings. It is best suited for evenings, special occasions, or leisure time in cooler weather.
How does the performance compare to other fragrances in the Mind Games collection?+−
Mentor is frequently highlighted as one of the strongest performers in the entire house, often outlasting lighter offerings from the brand and maintaining a presence long after the initial application.
Does the coffee note make this smell like a breakfast or cafe scent?+−
Not exactly. The coffee note is blended with blackcurrant liqueur and amber, making it smell more like a sophisticated dark roast or an espresso martini rather than a sweet, milky cafe beverage.
