At just 13 years old, Emilie Bevierre-Coppermann decided to become a perfumer after a formative encounter with a perfumer from the House of Rochas 👃✨. She studied organic chemistry 🧪 and later trained at the prestigious ISIPCA in Versailles 🎓, a renowned school for fragrance, cosmetics, and flavor.
Over the years, Coppermann has developed a distinctive olfactory style: she often works with woody structures 🌲, weaving them together with fresh, powdery, or green notes. Her work maintains the integrity of classic perfume architecture while daring to introduce playful, surprising turns.
Her standout contribution to Mind Games Fragrances is “Gardez” ♟️, a fragrance inspired by the pivotal chess term used to warn an opponent of an imminent threat to the queen 👑. She translates this moment of high alert into an olfactory experience that begins with delicate fruity 🍑 and floral 🌹 accords, gradually unfolding into a rich base where unexpected notes like popcorn 🍿 and black leather create a playful yet powerful depth.
Coppermann’s influence on Mind Games lies in her ability to tell stories through fragrance —without being overt or didactic. She approaches each perfume like a character on a chessboard: multi-dimensional, intentional, and with a clear role in the narrative. Her compositions are key to establishing Mind Games not merely as a luxury fragrance brand, but as a conceptual and intellectual exploration of scent.
