CAISSA

Black licorice arrives first, dark, glossy, faintly sweet, before pink pepper flickers awake and cardamom warms the space between them. It's the kind of opening note that makes you lean in closer, curious what comes next. Our interpretation of Mind Games' Caissa builds from there, an homage to a fragrance built on contrast: spice against bloom, shadow against sugar.

The top unfolds with Fougassette, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, a bright, slightly bitter spice that keeps Black Licorice from tipping too sweet. As the opening settles, Gardenia, Madagascar Ylang-Ylang, and Egyptian Jasmine take over, a lush, creamy white-floral heart that blooms slowly rather than announcing itself. Underneath, Ambrocenide, Musk, and Cacao settle in for the long stretch, an amber-gourmand base with the texture of melted chocolate against warm skin.

Caissa is for the wearer who likes florals with an edge, something that reads sensual but never saccharine. Reach for it on date nights, after dark, or anywhere you want to leave a trail worth remembering. At 30% oils and an 8-10 hour wear time, it holds up through a whole fall or winter evening without a single reapplication.

Wears with quiet confidence, a soft projection giving way to 6-8 hours of warmth. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum, 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on candlelit dinners, slow evenings, and the moments you want to remember by scent. Made for our Fall selection.
