About this deal

With the firm resolution to show it to these little rascals once, I started cheerfully and with a few splashes of Cašmir on my neck and the crook of my arm into a fragrant day! has the true aroma of a scraped vanilla pod: intense and a little sharp, one of the best scents in nature. Chopard Casmir is a luxe vanilla bomb laced with just enough boozy, fuzzy peach skin to smell somewhat fruity.

I also haven't found it to be overpowering and haven't had anyone complain or gag at the smell of it (always a plus with any perfume).Its not in pink sugar, prada, or all the other horrible cotton candy concoctions that are so popular nowadays. It smells like a very fancy version of Vanilla Fields (which I had actually been looking around for!

I had also just discovered Mugler’s Angel (for women) and Davidoff’s Relax—heavy ambery and gourmand fragrances were my thing that year! I would love to have that original formula as well as Dior’s original dolce vita, from the same era. There is a top note I didn't like that smells metallic/piercing, quite similarly to the opening of Youth Dew by Estée Lauder. That one smells like a rose and vanilla amber to me (with a hint of citrussy bergamot) and Casmir is a Ylang and vanilla amber (with peach jam that I get more of an apricot feel from! I think I may have inflicted that on myself by absolutely drenching myself in my mother's bottle of original Opium as a child (which this somewhat reminds me of) and getting headaches.What I'm left with is a still-wearable, slightly shellac-y, spicy vanillic woody scent that is still distinctively Casmir. I’m going to try this again in the winter with just a small amount layered over my favourite softer vanilla scent and see if I can tolerate it better then on my skin 🤞. Sobelia invites you to discover a large range of more than 4,500 perfumes from well-known brands such as: Kenzo - Loris Azzaro - Jean Paul Gaultier - Lolita Lempicka - Hugo Boss – Calvin Klein – Paco Rabanne – Burberry – Lancome. I don’t know if my body chemistry contributed to that or not but I got an insane amount of compliments pretty much from everybody: friends, coworkers, strangers, women and man, young and old.

It's fresh and warm, I've only been using it during the winter so far so I'm not sure if it's one for the summer but it seems like an autumn/winter scent to me so far. Because I am currently appreciating Casmir, I am thinking that I have written off something potentially wonderful due to my prejudice, and plan on fixing that soon. Dec 22 I've had the bottle a year and peach notes now shine as suddenly my skin blooms the peach scent and slightly less of cedar. It’s something subtle enough that I would think to myself “she smells naturally nice” without even saying it to myself officially. The perfume itself is really nice with a warm spicy vanilla waft, so lovely for the autumn and winter months.Casmir has knocked my socks off, and I bought it before I knew to look for the original Lancaster version, so I am speaking here of the Coty version. Chopard’s polarizing, love it or hate it triumph of the early 90s almost feels unisex by modern standards with its oriental amber and vanilla. She is cultured, understands heritage and lineage, watches a few black and white movies - but only to be a critical thinker, not to be deep. Not as spicy and dark as other Orientals of the Eighties/Nineties, but still very rich and luxuriant and with lots of vanilla. So, needless to say the sprayer is powerful and the bottle is beautiful, but not very practical if you want to carry your scent with you for touchups.

On skin – and it is MUCH better on skin -- it is the rich warm aroma of dried fruit and woody spices with a rich vanilla heart. It’s very sweet but the spiciness and patchouli give it a definite unisex vibe especially in 2021(does lean feminine though) big coconut, peach, apricot, vanilla and benzoin. Hanae Mori comes close in its fruity caramel-ness but has more almond and berries; Fragonard’s Miranda is their version of Casmir; and both Vanilla Fields and Raw Vanilla were surprising, affordable sniff-alikes minus the complexity of Casmir’s drydown. Longevity: (Short / Average / Long-lasting) Always impressive; I get around 8-10 hours from only two sprays. Casmir is no exception: it is loud and unapologetic, but has a curiously affable quality that makes you want to sniff closer instead of recoil in horror.I absolutely see the comparison to Vanilla Fields and would recommend that anyone who enjoys that frag give this one a try as (even though I don't really like either) I find this one to be a bit more sophisticated with the addition of benzoin, it's a little more complicated and layered and doesn't punch you in the face with the vanilla *quite* as much. Lovely mulled fruit and spices with a flood of other random notes atop a bitter, musty undercurrent. I went back the week after and sprayed both Casmir (just in case) and Just Cavalli, two that I was sure of that I tried earlier.
