Mind Games is an independent fragrance house known for creating unconventional scents that prioritize mood and personality over traditional gender categories.

Lionora opens with a sweet, gourmand burst of passionfruit and tonka bean warmed by ginger spice. The heart develops into a soft floral-fruity character, with apricot and osmanthus rounded out by freesia's airy quality. The base settles into a creamy, skin-scent warmth from lactones and sandalwood, with tonka returning to anchor the composition alongside a gentle musk. Overall, this is a fragrance that balances gourmand sweetness with enough floral texture and spice to avoid feeling one-dimensional.

Lionora works well for someone who enjoys fruity fragrances with a soft, intimate quality, particularly in cooler months or evening wear. It's approachable enough for daily wear but has enough personality to feel intentional. This fragrance aligns with The Romantic, The Heirloom, and The Reverie.

Passionfruit
Passionfruit
Tropical, intensely aromatic, and slightly tart, passionfruit has one of the most distinctive scents in the fruit world: exotic, floral-fruity, and slightly green, like a rainforest garden. In perfumery it adds an unmistakably tropical character. Used in compositions that want genuine exotic provenance rather than a generic 'tropical' note.
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
Ginger
Ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Apricot
Apricot
Velvety, warm, and slightly honeyed, apricot is the most sensual of the stone fruits in perfumery. It has a jammy richness alongside its freshness, and a slightly almond-like facet from its stone. Pairs beautifully with white florals and musks in compositions that want warmth and femininity without heaviness.
Osmanthus
Osmanthus
Apricot-like, leathery, and floral all at once, osmanthus is one of the most beloved flowers in Chinese culture and one of the most interesting in Western perfumery. Its dried-fruit, suede-like quality makes it feel simultaneously sweet and sophisticated. A note that elevates almost everything it touches.
Freesia
Freesia
Bright, clean, and slightly peppery, freesia is a springtime flower with a fresh, almost citrusy edge that prevents it from reading as purely sweet. It's one of the more versatile florals, sitting comfortably in both delicate feminine compositions and fresh unisex fragrances. Approachable and elegant simultaneously.

Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
