Queenside
Queenside by Mind Games is a feminine-leaning extrait de parfum from 2025 in the luxury price tier. It opens with blackcurrant, lychee and pear, moves into geranium, lily of the valley and violet and dries down to patchouli, oakmoss and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Lychee Rosy, watery and delicate. Sweet without being heavy.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
