Battle of the titans: original vs. Alternative – notes & breakdown
Both fragrances share the exact same dna of noble rose, warm vanilla, sandalwood, and cardamom. Here is how they compare side by side:
Top notes:
Mind games prodigy: rose absolute, cardamom, bergamot
French avenue spirito mystic: rose, cardamom, bergamot
Heart notes:
Mind games prodigy: café au lait (milky coffee), patchouli, longoza flower
French avenue spirito mystic: powdery notes, sandalwood, tonka bean
Base notes:
Mind games prodigy: sandalwood, vanilla, blonde woods
French avenue spirito mystic: vanilla, patchouli, musk
How do the accords develop on the skin?
Creaminess & powder (~35% in both): in the original, the soft, milky effect comes from latte and sandalwood. In spirito mystic, the coffee note is replaced by a richer dose of velvety powdery notes and musk – in the air (sillage), the two are virtually indistinguishable to people around you.
Vanilla & sweetness (original: ~20% | spirito mystic: ~25%): the french avenue alternative is slightly warmer and more comforting thanks to the addition of tonka bean.
Rose & florals (original: ~25% | spirito mystic: ~20%): both feature a smooth, elegant, and non-cloying rose seamlessly blended into a creamy background.
Woody & spicy base (~20% in both): sandalwood, patchouli, and the spicy cardamom-bergamot opening give the scent true niche depth and sophistication.
