MIND GAMES Caissa Silver Queen 100ml

Caïssa opens with bright cardamom, bergamot and pink pepper, unfolds into jasmine, tuberose and liquorice, then settles on amber-wood, vanilla, patchouli and soft musk. Extrait concentration (≈ 20–30 % oil) lasts eight hours+. City Perfume ships free express Australia-wide over $300. 

 

Fragrance story

Caïssa takes the spice-white-floral idea and smooths every edge. A flash of Guatemalan cardamom, bergamot and pink pepper brings instant brightness. Almost immediately, a creamy bouquet of jasmine sambac and night-blooming tuberose rises, laced with a whisper of liquorice that gives just enough intrigue. Hours later, the scent rests on a comforting blend of amber-wood, vanilla, patchouli and soft musk—a glow that feels at once radiant and poised.

How it wears

• Opening (0–30 min): fresh spice and citrus sparkle.
• Heart (30 min–4 h): creamy white florals with a subtle liquorice twist.
• Dry-down (4 h +): glowing amber-wood wrapped in vanilla and soft musk.
• Longevity: roughly eight hours on skin; longer on fabric.
• Projection: moderate—an arm’s-length aura for the first few hours.

 

Why it stands out

• Spicy-white-floral balance you don’t often find in extrait form.
• Extrait strength for all-day presence with two sprays.
• Unisex elegance—lush but never overly sweet.
• Cruelty-free formulation—Mind Games confirms no animal testing.
