Queening

by Christelle Laprade

Our verdict on Queening: Favourite

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.

Also Works:
Date

Given its generally light projection and moderate longevity, Queening is versatile enough for casual and office wear without being overpowering. The sweet and powdery accords make it suitable for a relaxed date night, but it lacks the gravitas or bold character for formal events.

About

Queening opens with a fleeting, crisp apple, soon giving way to a dominant powdery accord laced with soft vanilla and an airy cotton flower. As it settles, a sweet, creamy coconut emerges, warmed by a subtle boozy rum and a hint of exotic saffron. The base is a fluffy, clean musk-vanilla embrace, keeping it light and comforting rather than overtly gourmand.
