Caïssa by Mind Games

Caïssa by Mind Games is a unisex Extrait de Parfum that blends mysterious black licorice, warm spices, opulent white florals, cocoa, amber woods, and soft musk. Released in 2022 and created by perfumer David Apel, this floral white-flower woody fragrance is presented in a 3.4 oz / 100 ml spray bottle. Mind Games describes Caïssa as a seductive composition inspired by desire, obsession, and the lengths one will go for love.

The fragrance opens with dark black licorice, sparkling pink peppercorn, aromatic cardamom, and a Fougassette accord. The unusual opening combines sweet spice and anise-like depth with a warm baked-bread nuance that gives the fragrance a distinctive gourmand edge.

At its heart, Tubeliane DI unfolds alongside Madagascar ylang-ylang, Egyptian jasmine, and white gardenia. These notes create a rich bouquet of creamy white flowers with tropical, luminous, and softly sensual facets.

The drydown combines Ambrocenide with cocoa bean and vegan musk. Ambrocenide contributes a powerful amber-woody character, while cocoa adds gentle gourmand warmth and musk creates a smooth, skin-like finish.

Caïssa has a floral, white-floral, woody, musky, sweet, warm-spicy, powdery, and softly gourmand scent profile. It is particularly suited to evening wear, date nights, special occasions, and elegant daytime settings. Its floral heart makes it especially appealing during spring and summer, while its licorice, cocoa, amber woods, and musk give it enough depth for cooler weather.
