Fresh Clean Cotton and crisp Apple bring an unexpectedly airy start, with Cypress adding a cool, aromatic edge beneath the brightness. The opening feels polished and freshly pressed, but there’s a subtle tension underneath that hints at something much richer waiting to unfold.
Orris introduces a soft, powdery texture as Rum and Saffron move into the heart, giving the fragrance a warm, slightly boozy character. The contrast between clean freshness and golden spice makes the middle feel smooth and intriguing without becoming overly heavy.
As the fragrance settles, Whipped Vanilla Bean melts into Fluffy Musk and Coconut, leaving a creamy, cloud-like trail against the skin. Queen Of The Chess is our powerful take as Mind Games Queening dupe, balancing crisp freshness, warm spice, and soft gourmand sweetness in a finish that feels effortlessly plush. ♟️

Top 3 for me!!! This is 1:1 and a must have for anyone who likes clean scents, but also loves the warmth of coconut.
First off.. I have red hair... so finding scents that work for me is beyond difficult!
Queen of the Chess is an Exact replica only it actually Lasts All day!!
My walkby is luxurious and when I pair this with Sugary Gourmond Lounge, I smell like a whole edible arrangement!!!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️❤️❤️ Can't wait to try some others. Will definitely keeps these stocked!!!!!!
I love this scent down!!!! Its a must buy, definitely is a oooohhhhh i wasnt expected for this. Yes that good and was a blind buy. Do I overspray? Yes and do i keep it in my purse? Yessss. I recommend to several women. However, you have to buy fast as it's always sold out. The scent is a beautiful the dry down is gorgeous. Daytime or nighttime wear
Captivating from first sniff. I honestly fell in love with Dua's version over the original. Like, how can you love an interpretation better than the original? Trust me, it's possible. It's a HOME RUN fragrance and my favorite Dua. I'll never be without it. I'm on my 7th bottle and have only known about it a little over a year! If it's stock, get it today! The vanilla smell, the orris root, the coconut..just the best fragrance and my signature scent! Makes you feel like you are the CEO and the Goddess of the Universe.
Very impressed! Blind bought a slew of niche perfumes of best sellers of different brands and this is the only one I was impressed with. After loving it and reading the notes, I wouldnt of even assumed I would like it but I do! Dnt know if it smells like the OG bt dua is very gd about that so I trust it for all dupes
One of my favorite Duas! Admittedly, when I first sprayed this, it was a touch more unisex than what I expected. I would say the opening borders on the edge of masculine in that it’s very crisp and fresh, but is overall a unisex, more feminine leaning fragrance. After about 10-15 minutes, the softer supporting notes begin to bloom and really create a blend unlike anything I’ve ever smelled before. It’s nuts how the cotton accord manages to stick around the entire time, but just seamlessly transitions to the back in order to allow the softer notes to come forward. This one really takes your nose on a fragrance journey and is a bottle I’ll never be without.
Queen of the chess is fantastic! Layering her with silky veil of santal is absolute chefs kiss! Projection is good, longevity is fantastic! If you love queening, definitely save the money and get this!
I wasn’t sure what to expect with a cotton accord mixed with vanilla, but wow — this surprised me in the best way! It’s clean, creamy, and a little cozy with coconut and fluffy musk. Definitely a unique scent that works for me. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars — me likes!”
Yet another banger from this brand. I’ve never smelled the OG, but have heard so many good things. Took me about a month to finally pull the trigger and SO glad I did. BUB worthy, this is sexy…and cozy, engulfs you in this luxurious scent bubble. One of my favorites from DUA so far. Queen of the Chess….is a check mate!

Easy grab, light & clean fragrance. It is sweet and powdery. I can detect a tiny bit of the rum. The fragrance is a moderate musky skin scent.
THis is a soft yet radiating scent, had to let it sit for a about a month before the true scent emerged but when it did.... Love this stuff.... Just buy it.

Nice and light. Not quite as sweet as I was hoping with the vanilla and coconut but that may improve with time. Never smelled the og but this is fresh and it’s a like for me.
This smells so good!! It is a clean vanilla, sits so well on the skin! Last for a long time too even with being a “light” scent! One of my top five faves!!!
