MIND GAMESLionora Extrait de Parfum 3.4 oz.

One of my biggest compliment getters.

Lionora by Mind Games is one of those fragrances that immediately smells expensive. It’s bright, creamy, fruity and floral, but there’s also this incredibly smooth, almost velvety quality that makes it feel much more sophisticated than your typical fruity-floral. The opening is gorgeous—the passionfruit gives it this juicy, slightly tart tropical sweetness that grabs your attention immediately, while the florals keep it feminine and polished rather than overly fruity. As it settles, it becomes softer and creamier, with sandalwood and musk giving it this warm, smooth base that almost melts into the skin. What I love about Lionora is that it manages to be playful and elegant at the same time. It’s sweet without being sugary, fruity without smelling juvenile, and floral without becoming overly traditional. There’s something airy and luminous about it, but it still has enough presence to make people notice you. The drydown is my favorite part—it becomes this creamy, musky, slightly fruity skin scent that smells effortlessly put together and ridiculously pretty. It’s the kind of fragrance that makes me feel feminine, expensive and just a little bit addictive.
