Caissa

A Fragrant Tribute to the Goddess of Chess: Caissa Mind Games

Caissa by perfumer David Apel, created for Mind Games, is inspired by the mythical figure of Caïssa, the goddess of chess. This fragrance embodies the passion and allure of this muse, symbolizing the lengths we will go for love.

 

Olfactory Notes

It opens with an enigmatic burst of black licorice, cardamom, and pink pepper, evoking the thrill of a well-planned move in a high-stakes chess match. This bold opening soon gives way to a radiant heart of Egyptian jasmine, creamy white gardenia, and exotic ylang-ylang, symbolizing the elegance and intellect of the game's unfolding strategy. As the fragrance settles, a sensual base of amber, cocoa bean, and soft musk emerges, like the satisfying conclusion of a masterful play—warm, seductive, and lingering. Each stage transitions seamlessly, revealing a composition as calculated and captivating as a well-executed chess maneuver.
