Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Queening EDP
Queening is a divisive one, hyped to hell but leaving many underwhelmed. Expect a soft, powdery vanilla with a clean, cotton-fresh twist, though some find it synthetic or masculine. At its price point, it's a hard sell for most, failing to live up to the 'niche' expectation in terms of performance or originality.

Our Verdict - Velvet Crown EDP
A budget take on Mind Games Queening, the velvety clean-girl vanilla. Velvet Crown lands the crisp apple-and-cotton opening over a rummy orris-vanilla heart that makes the original so smooth, but where Queening is an extrait that wears richly polished, this dupe renders thinner and the velvety blend a touch flatter.
