NEIMAN MARCUS LAUNCHES MIND GAMES

PLACE THE POWER OF DESTINY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Neiman Marcus exclusively launches the latest in luxury, niche fragrance houses, Mind Games. Created by Alex Shalbaf of The Fragrance Group with world-renowned perfumer Christelle Laprade of Symrise, this fragrance collection represents the triumph of spirit that accompanies each victory, the strategies that take an opponent by surprise, the long tradition of excellence, and the infinite possibility each player holds. Mind Games is a fascinating exploration of passion, prowess, and unrivaled perception that is calculating, deceptive, and devastatingly seductive.

"The inspiration behind Mind Games is, first and foremost, a love and respect for artisanal fragrance making and the complexity of its process," says Alex Shalbaf, Founder of Mind Games. "In addition to the inherent uniqueness of our compositions and small batch manufacturing process, we have prioritized sustainability in every aspect of production. We extensively research the ingredients we source and use in our blends, the environmental impact of how and when they are sourced, and how much is sourced at once. It is imperative that our methods and ingredients, along with the bottles and packaging, are sustainable. We are proud to say we have managed to create luxury products without a high environmental impact."
