Caïssa Mind Games 2022

I received this from Scentbird, and at first I thought maybe they'd sent me the wrong thing. Where's the licorice? Cardamom? Cocoa? Then I saw someone else describe it as a "headache inducing white floral," which is exactly how I would describe it. There is no cake, there is no licorice, just white florals and a synthetic note that's like an ice pick in my head in its unpleasantness. I generally adore licorice as a note (Lolita Lempicka is in my all time top five) and this maybe had a licorice whip waved in its general direction, at best.

Sorry Mind Games. Hard pass, especially for what they're charging.
