"Undeniably loved by all, Queening brings the most desirable notes of clean cotton, creamy orris and vanilla together in a dreamy, cocooning blend. Fluffy musks, rum and coconut embody the enveloping gourmand elements of comfort and nourishment." - Christelle Laprade, Perfumer.
Fragrantica - "It opens with the scent of a perfectly ripe apple accompanied by a touch of rum. While the boozy note is noticeable, it never feels overly dark or decadent. Soon, a powdery vanilla emerges, soft and refined without becoming heavy or dusty. The fragrance brings to mind a young woman from a privileged background who effortlessly moves between gallery openings, elegant brunches, and glamorous nights out. She's cultured and sophisticated, but not in a restrained way—there's a playful, hedonistic side to her as well."
Fragrantica - "Cozy and airy vanilla that has a fresh and clean opening which I love. I usually don't like wearing vanillas in warmer weather but this one kinda cracked the code for me. "
Fragrantica - "It's just so dreamy, cloudy, marshmallow-ish with a whiff of green apples. It's so well composed and beautiful. Performance wise, I get that when you overpay for a fragrance you expect it to be radiant and polarizing but like with this type of olfactory profile it would be too much. Still haven't worn it long enough to test it's performance but sillage-wise it sits closer to skin. Words that come to my mind would be, cotton, powdery, milky, candy-ish, dreamy and angelic."
Fragrantica - "After a day of full wear I can say I’m obsessed with this and will eventually need a larger decant or a full size bottle. The dry down is magic."
