My Queen

My Queen by Alexander McQueen is a deeply personal, evolving fragrance centered around a velvety violet and almond core, layered with powdery iris and warm, woody notes. It begins with a subtly sharp, almost bitter almond and violet opening, followed by a radiant heart of heliotrope and white flowers that lend a soft, creamy sweetness. The composition develops with a quiet, intimate presence, shifting into a sophisticated dry-down where patchouli, vetiver, cedar, and vanilla mingle to form a warm, slightly earthy, and mildly gourmand base. Its signature lies in its transformation—starting softly, building silken layers, and ending with a luminous, powdery elegance that feels both noble and intimate. The scent is particularly suited for cooler weather, evening wear, and those who appreciate complex floral-oriental scents with a quiet, regal presence. While some find its sillage moderate and longevity long, a few note that it fades quickly or feels too sweet on certain skin chemistries. Overall, it’s a refined, mysterious, and memorable perfume that evokes a sense of quiet confidence and literary grace.
