Summary

Caïssa combines dark licorice and spice with an opulent white-floral heart. Black licorice, pink pepper, cardamom, and a pastry-like fougassette accord make the opening unusual and immediately recognizable. Tuberose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and gardenia then expand the fragrance into a rich floral center. Cocoa, musk, and Ambrocenide give the base a darker, smoother finish. The result is not a conventional white floral: licorice and spice keep it eccentric, while cocoa and musk add warmth and sensuality underneath.

About the Brand

Mind Games is a niche fragrance house built around the strategy, tension, and symbolism of chess. The brand presents genderless Extrait de Parfum compositions developed with established perfumers, using each fragrance as a distinct move within a broader game-inspired collection. Its catalog moves across fruit, woods, leather, florals, gourmand materials, resins, spices, and musks, with an emphasis on contrast and calculated transitions rather than one fixed house accord. The result is a collection designed to feel bold, expressive, and highly individualized while remaining connected by the brand’s chess-driven concept.
