The Defender | Inspired by French Defense
This is not just a perfume; it's a strategy.
Meet The Defender, the new unisex Extrait de Parfum from Mod Fragrances. This is a luxury fragrance for the mind that plays the long game—a scent inspired by Mind Games French Defense, the legendary chess opening known for its resilience, complexity, and brilliant counter-attacks.
The Defender is a masterful blend of fruit, florals, and woods, designed for the individual who is patient, intelligent, and always one step ahead. It’s a fragrance that doesn’t shout; it confidently holds its ground, revealing its depth move by move.
The Fragrance Journey: A Game of Strategy
The Defender unfolds on the skin like a perfectly executed game:
-
The Opening (Top Notes): The game begins with a calculated, confident opening. A surprising, juicy note of Cherry sets an unexpected tone, while calming Chamomile and green Violet Leaves represent the Defender's cool, collected focus. It’s an opening of quiet assurance and hidden potential.
-
The Mid-Game (Middle Notes): As the strategy develops, the heart reveals its complex and elegant counter. A sophisticated floral blockade of classic Rose, sharp Geranium, and soft Mimosa unfolds. This is the riposte—the intelligent, beautiful, and unyielding core of the French Defense, creating a structure that is both beautiful and unbreakable.
-
The Endgame (Base Notes): Victory is secured in a solid, lasting foundation. A powerful base of Blonde Woods and Cedarwood represents the unshakeable position, the solid ground you've won. A rare, captivating note of Ambergris provides a warm, sensual, and lingering scent of success.
The Defender is a complex, compelling, and perfectly balanced fruity perfume that leans into a sophisticated woody base. It is an intellectual, unisex scent that wears like a quiet, unshakeable confidence.

Mod Fragrances is defined by its commitment to crafting high-quality, designer-inspired scents with a refined touch. Each fragrance features an Extrait de Parfum concentration of 30–35%, ensuring richness and depth without being overpowering. We avoid heady, overly intense profiles in favor of smooth, balanced compositions that wear comfortably throughout the day.

While we strive to stay as close as possible to the originals, slight differences in formulation and concentration create a unique interpretation of each scent.
Let customers speak for us
This perfume smells SOOOO good. I've been looking for a vanilla perfume that isn't like every other vanilla perfume I have ever smelled, and this was the perfect fit. All the notes compliment each other so well and I love it! I've already got so many compliments. I was also really happy with how fast it shipped!
I stumbled upon Mod Fragrances on YouTube and I'm so glad I did! My first order arrived promptly, and I was blown away by the quality of the fragrances. The oils used are top-notch, and I'm loving the free shipping - no matter the order size. I'll definitely be back for more. Thanks, Mod Fragrances, for bringing luxury scents at an affordable price to my doorstep!
Spirit of Valor
Wow! Oil not spray, I’m on the sixth hour…
Experience and story time😂
The scent is so light but full body I tested it at the supermarket oh my gosh three girls were smelling it😂 and I saw how they were looking for who is wearing it. 110% this scent as it is winter in hawaii hit ‘em so deep it was like are you following me?
Very impressed with this cologne !!! Definitely will do more business with MOD Fragrances.
Mod makes great fragrances. Also great customer service.
I bought a Discovery Set from MOD, and stumbled on this gem. I left a full review of the scent in the sample section. Sweet candy apple scent (IMO), amazing "airy" projection, longest lasting cologne I've ever used. I decided to make a full bottle purchase of this scent during the Halloween sale. Definetly uni-sex - the most "feminine" cologne I own by far.
Shipped SUPER fast, and this is the first time I've tried MOD's full-bottle atomizer.
So as can be expected, the atomizers on the 5ml samples are OK. Bottles are thick glass. They work.
I am super impressed with the atomizer on the full bottle. Closest one I have to Al Haramain's amazing atomizers. Presentation is great as well. The bottle comes well packaged and I can't imagine ANY chance of breakage during shipping (bottle came in a great looking presentation box with foam, wrapped with thick lengthwise bubble wrap, and packaged in another box). Very happy with my purchase.
It smells good, vanilla lovers- this one is for you. Best described as a warm, vanilla sophisticated embrace.
Smells very refined and vintage gentlemen like. I enjoy the scent though, it is a different profile from my usual scent preferences. Overall it is a fall season fragrance, spicy, masculine a bit sweet. Lots of longevity, an amazing intial profile continuously thoughout the dry down phase. This review was made applying 2 sprays btw.
This scent was suggested as a Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanilla dupe and I am shocked by how similar it smells! It lasts a long time on my skin and smells wonderful.
Smells so good thank you will order more
This fragrance has a great smell. Not one of the id’d notes stand out in their own. Rather, they are a perfect blend of all of them and come together to create what has become one of my favorite fragrances. It has the perfect amount of performance as it lasts about 6 hours or so. Definitely a compliment getter.
I was at the mall the other day and sampled a few Mind Games perfumes and they do make so really good stuff. The issue was the price point. Getting a $350 fragrance for under $50 that actually smells very similar and lasts the entire day on me was a no brainier. MOD you have done it again.
This was my first purchase from MOD and I am blown away! Absolutely fantastic! Can't wait to make another purchase!
At first I was skeptical, but once I ordered shipment was fast bottle looked perfect and let me tell you. The scent was on point to designers. Love it that I’m on my third order in a month. Mod fragrance for life here
