Casmir

Casmir by Chopard is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 1991 in the designer price tier. It opens with coconut, mango, blackcurrant and bergamot, moves into vanilla, jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang and dries down to sandalwood, amber, tonka bean and musk. Expect around 11 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
Mango Thick, sweet and tropical. Creamy rather than sharp.
Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.

Heart

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.

Dry-down

Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
