Currently I have 5 Mind Games fragrances and this is one of my favorites so far. Definitely a woody floral, really addicting on my skin but also familiar. It is reminiscent of Milk Bold By Commodity, even though the only similar note listed is the musk. It’s not fruity at all to me, but there is some nuttiness and the jasmine also shines. It also has some similarities to Gris Charnel Extrait, so if you like fragrances in that family you’ll like this one. Longevity on my skin is about 4-5 hours and even better on clothes and that’s without over spraying. Longevity of each of the mind fragrance varies quite a bit. I blind bought Lionora, it’s listed as one of the favs and I have to say I wasn’t really impressed with it. I think the deal breaker will be longevity, it disappears very quickly on me. I’ll give it a try once more but I think Lionora will be listed for sale. On another note, very high on my wish list is checkmate it’s stunning!!

I have loved most of the fragrances I have sampled from MindGames. This scent is very floral, but I do not think it automatically makes it feminine. Jasmine is a unisex note and that is what is predominant from the initial sniff. It is a light scent ,not in terms of sillage or longevity, but one that evokes a refreshing garden with a slight wind blending floral notes around me. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a sophisticated fragrance that will lift your spirits while also having some gentle heft. There is a bit of similarity to Xerhoff's Erba Pura. If I did not have that one I would be very tempted to buy a full bottle of this.

This is one of few that I liked from house of Mind Games. The scent is very sultry, evoking and mouthwatering but still somewhat refreshing. It opens up with cardamom and licorice and then morphs in white flowers/ ylang ylang mixture on base of sweet cacao and a little bit of musk. I can definitely smell something edible like freshly baked cake...I would say this is gourmand version of PDM Athalia (which is a masterpiece to me). Leans feminine and could be a great year around signature scent. Longevity is about 8hours with moderate projection. I would pay $345 to repurchase another bottle...this one is really nice.

I liked this perfume but it's very sour and fruity. Because it's so sour, it even reminds me of Delina with fruits. This white floral is very unique cause I am not used to them being so intense. Usually white florals are boring and ultra feminine. This white floral is simple and very tart. It's not powdery at all. It's zesty, green, slightly vulgar. I agree with people who even compare it to Kirke by Tiziana Terenzi. It gives me major Kirke vibes. I guess the amber-like synthetic base ambrocenide is what makes it unusual.

This is such a beautiful smell; it’s soft, warm, creamy, and delicate. Very much a unisex smell, but it does lean feminine. The bread smell is nice, and not too sweet like a pastry, with a light, approachable licorice. To me, this smells like a fresh loaf of bread, topped with anise and turbinado sugar, and white florals. Lasted around 6 hours on my skin, and I could not stop smelling it. If I cannot find a quality dupe, this might be a bottle I save for
