Chopard Casmir Eau de Parfum Spray for Her - 100 ml

Product Information

Or perhaps I'm confusing it with the coconut note, but this is the smell that I enjoy the most when I sniff on my wrist. I had also just discovered Mugler’s Angel (for women) and Davidoff’s Relax—heavy ambery and gourmand fragrances were my thing that year! Coty only wishes and I adore Hanae Mori (fruiter) which is in the same playing field but not in this high league. I do appreciate perfumes that I have these specific "best uses" for, though, so that's not a disadvantage at all. I can appreciate the work behind this and think the combination of notes is quite interesting, however this really confirmed for me that syrupy, rich, amber fragrances are 100% not for me.

When I wear this, people are super kind and attracted to me, and I only had positive experiences with it.This is a super feminine perfume and does not smell like all those similarl syrupy sweet fragrances. It's lighter and more feminine version of Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford which makes this one seductive. I don't get a lot of the fruits and flowers but I am sure they add much to the complexity of Casmir. Top notes are peach, apricot, black currant and raspberry; middle notes are mandarin orange, carnation and cinnamon; base notes are vanilla, benzoin, tonka bean and opoponax. Casmir is allowed to stay in my collection, then from time to time is me after this sexy vanilla bomb.

A sniff from the top of the bottle is not for this, you absolutely have to put it on you to really experience what I mean.

It is certainly not the pure gourmand I tend towards, it is definitely an oriental-gourmand, with a foot in both but it is lovely all the same and I am quite happy I bought this, as it is not my typical fragrance and is unique in my collection. UPDATE: I'm wearing the pure parfum version from Lancaster group, and it has a dusty sweetness that feels like the vanilla that Guerlain uses! The only fruit I detect is the apricot note, which adds a feeling of Arabic dates in combination with the resins, in fact, 'Arabic' would be a superb descriptor for the overall feel of the fume. However, instead of the mango, clove, and cardamom of Elephant, this is peaches, vanilla, and cinnamon. Soft and persistent, the plastic vibe finally departs in the dry down when I pick up more spices, coconut and benzoin.

Received a dinky 30ml bottle of Casmir yesterday in the post, the bottle is absolutely gorgeous on my dressing table.I realized this, so I sprayed it only on fabric and let it sit for awhile before smelling the fabric. Nevertheless, I am impressed by this perfume and do think it should be considered as one of the classics. And it smells a million times better then Bon Bon, or any of the Candy line and they cost a fortune compared to Casmir. In my defense, the binge was brought on by a fit of frustration I had a few weeks ago … frustration with the poor quality and shameful lack of potency of the newer fragrances (newer meaning, these last 20 years).
