Parfums De Marly Cassili

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on red currant, floral notes and bulgarian rose, moves through frangipani, plum and petalia, and settles on vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood.

• floral notes: a general floralness rather than any one flower
• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
