Not bad
The opening is great. It smells wonderful like honeydew melon. The drydown doesn't really appeal to me. It then smells like a cheap perfume from a drugstore. For the price, I would have expected more.

Details on Mind Games Counterplay
How does Mind Games Counterplay smell?
The scent opens with a juicy and fruity splash of melon, guava, and sweet banana. A warm floral heart soon follows, blending honeyed osmanthus, creamy ylang-ylang, and fresh orange blossom. The dry-down offers a woody and sophisticated base of sandalwood, deep patchouli, and a hint of pink pepper.

The banana note comes through well. Otherwise, it's a fruity, tropical, warm fragrance. I think it's well done.

Fruity tropical sunscreen
A luxurious, exotic companion for hot summer days. The opening with juicy melon is wonderfully refreshing but quickly transforms into a very creamy, almost tropical experience. On my skin, Counterplay develops at 32° like an incredibly sophisticated sunscreen – well-rounded, balanced, and very elegant thanks to the floral heart notes. A modern 'sun scent' that puts you in a good mood!
