Lionora

Name: Lionora Eau de Toilette
Brand: MIND GAMES

MIND GAMES Lionora is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2023, created by Christelle Laprade. Lionora opens with Ginger, Tonka Bean, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Osmanthus, Freesia, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Cream, Musk, and Sandalwood. MIND GAMES's Lionora carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Lionora is a divisive fruity-floral that promises tropical bliss but delivers mixed results. Some find it a radiant, sophisticated summer scent, while others dismiss it as a cheap, synthetic concoction that's wildly overpriced. Don't blind buy; test on skin first.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its strong fruity-floral character and moderate projection make it a great casual and date night choice, particularly for warmer weather. However, its sweetness and polarizing nature might be a bit much for formal events or a conservative office environment, where it could be perceived as 'loud'.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a lively, zesty burst of passionfruit and ginger, quickly settling into a creamy, sweet heart of apricot and delicate white florals like freesia and osmanthus. The dry down is a soft, comforting blend of lactonic notes, musk, and warm sandalwood, with tonka bean providing a persistent, powdery sweetness that some find overwhelming, others delightful.
