Queening carries a playful edge in the name, and Mind Games opens it accordingly, cotton flower, apple and cypress sparking a crisp, green fruit top. Orris root, rum and saffron deepen the heart into something powdery, boozy and warmly spiced all at once. Vanilla, coconut and musk close the foundation sweet, tropical and softly grounded. Rum alongside orris root and saffron is an unusual trio, boozy warmth, powdery softness and luxurious spice sharing a single heart accord. Queening Perfume is a green fruity Extrait de Parfum, suited to playful daytime occasions. Mind Games built noticeable unpredictability into the middle stage here.
