Cassandra opens with a sharp burst of cold aldehydes and zesty lemon, creating a crisp and bracing initial impression. This chilly brightness quickly softens as the fragrance settles onto the skin, allowing a rich heart of powdery rose, dirty patchouli, and warm honey to surface.

For modern noses, it is a demanding wear that deserves a sample before committing to a full bottle. Show less

The opening combines a sharp blast of aldehydes with green marjoram and palisander rosewood, creating a cold, mysterious atmosphere.
