Confidence in a Bottle

If a queen chess piece had a fragrance this is it. I feel so commanding and powerful and confident in this! Gorgeous vanilla, the iris is *just* the right amount of powdery, and the little hint of apple and coconut is a fun surprise too. As an animal scientist I do have to say (possibly unfortunately) fun fact the technical term for a cat giving birth is queening so the name definitely throws me but that's not super relevant. I honestly think no matter your gender pretty much anyone could pull this off. I got a sample of this through Scentbird but I'll definitely be eyeing a bigger bottle once that decant runs out.

Not my clean vanilla

The reviews for Queening sounded right up my alley. First of all I LOVE creamy, fluffy and clean vanillas. And when I saw some comparisons to my precious VS Tease Crème Cloud on another site, I became very optimistic about this fragrance.
But unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.

I get a lovely, soft blend of vanilla, white musk and fresh green apple for a moment right at the start. The positive impression only lasts for a short time, then something unexpectedly scratchy, leathery creeps in. It smells masculine to me, like a male spray deodorant, and knocks the lighter notes out. Looking at the notes list, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be saffron, done in a very sharp and synthetic way. Oh well.

The scratchy mid phase lasts much longer than the opening, but after a couple hours it's gone, too.
In the final drydown I smell the fluffy vanilla-musk blend again, and I also sense a nice touch of tropical rum here. It could have been so good, but ultimately, there are many other perfumes that lead me to a clean vanilla drydown without a detour through male deodorant land.

I might be overly sensitive to certain notes that I perceive as harsh and scratchy, while others are more lucky and don't even smell them. And no, it's not my skin, I have the same problem when I spray this on a blotter. But still, take my review with a grain of salt - this might smell much better to you.

GOAT Vanilla fragrance

This may be one of the greatest smells ever created. It’s also my most worn fragrance; layer any fragrance over top and it will make the scent 83.7x better.

Initially, I thought it was too feminine.
But during a couple of wear tests, I was getting tons of compliments walking past strangers, hours after application, and I realized that it becomes more masculine in the dry down.

The layering combos are endless and truly delightful. $395 is steep but it is so luxurious and versatile. It was my first full bottle from Mind Games and if any fragrance was worth the price tag, it would be this one. And Gambit. And French Defense…but this juice is unreal. Makes me happy every time I spray it.

A Masterclass in Grown Up Sweet Scents

Queening is really hard for me to describe because I can’t pick out any specific notes—it’s just so smooth and well-blended that it feels like a complete experience instead of something I can break down. On my skin, it leans a little cotton candy-ish, kind of like Noyz 12:00 or Baccarat Rouge 540, where there’s that soft, sweet airiness. But it’s not a dupe or copy at all—Queening is totally its own thing.

If you like that type of sweet, musky DNA, there’s a good chance you’ll love this. It’s sweet without being too much, even in the sticky heat of a Midwest July, and it has depth without being heavy or overwhelming.

I never would’ve guessed there’s apple and coconut in here—they don’t smell like the usual fruity notes and just blend in beautifully with everything else.

This is 100% signature scent-worthy for me. Easily one of my top 3 fragrances ever.

Definitely a must have

This one is so beautiful. Such a delicate vanilla. A vanilla for clean girls, if you had to describe it.
This cotton note is indescribably good! It smells so luxurious and playful at the same time. I am soooo in love! need it NOW! This is exactly my thing. It combines my love for clean scents and vanilla scents perfectly!!! If you're looking for the perfect clean scent that doesn't smell like pure detergent or soap, look no further because this is perfect. It's a slightly sweet, light and bright vanilla with soft cotton. The apple note also stands out slightly which envelops the whole thing perfectly :)
