Thanks @Thomas Chavez for hooking me up with these. Super jazzed to try them and landed just in time for my SOTE. Little chilly outside, a couple cigars, I think I may go Red Tobacco. Unless y'all think I should go with something else.

First full spin with this somewhat (24’) new release. I can definitely say this is a citrus scent done totally right. Non offensive and doesn't give off cleaning product vibes. Good projection and longevity as well. The dry down is when it really starts smelling good though. Mildly musky with a good amount of woodiness. I get aventus vibes slightly here just minus the smokiness. This addition definitely helped in filling out my Eros lineup sitting comfortably next to Flame and OG EDP. Najim is on the hit list next for sure. Have the best day brothers. Smell great out there.

Hey good people, just received this new friends.

Umm ok. Anyone try any of these? https://parade.com/shopping/finery-perfume-dupes

Thank you to @Jeffrey Conyers for sending me a sample of Dua Queen if Chess, so I could do this side by side. These open up extremely close in both scent profile and strength. I literally have to close my eyes and constantly go back and forth to tell the difference. The first 5 minutes, Dua just has ever so slight and I mean slight, apple shower gel touch to it, but you can only tell if you put your nose into, close your eyes and no distractions around you, so let's just say the opening is a 1:1. Going into the mid, about 15 minutes, the powdery orris and rum come into play on both. Apple fades on both and the itsy bitsy teeny weeny shower gel note on the Dua is gone. At about the 20 min mark, the saffron in Dua makes an appearance and Mind Games shows up about a minute later, which is interesting, because I did spray on the Dua first. So even the transitional time line between the 2 are parallel. Into the dry down the powdery orris sticks around longer and lil bit stronger with the Dua for a few minutes longer than the OG. Vanilla, coconut and soft musk come to the party.and about 45 min in the powdery orris drop to the same level as Mind Games. They are now back to a 1:1 and stays that way. At one point I did question if @Jeffrey Conyers sent me a sample of the OG to trick me😂 Final thoughts - This is a beautiful soft, cuddle with your SA, 3rd date, and/or bedtime scent. So far Dua has nailed it with the Mind Games. Dua is at $33 for 34ml (no sale) and I picked up Mind Games Queening tester at $179 for 100ml. If you don't care about the bottle, Dua is the clear winner, even if you get it at regular price. For me, I have 2 other Mind Games, French Defense and Grand Master, I am more than happy to add this one to my collection, for the price I scored it at, thanks again to @Ben E for thinking of me when he found the sale.
