What does Casablanca smell like?
Blackcurrant bud, pink grapefruit and red mandarin orange give the opening a green, fruity freshness. In the heart, orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine make the floral side richer. Vetiver, civet and oakmoss build the chypre base, while musk and labdanum add a sweet, resinous warmth.
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer chosen less often. It leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it reads comfortably either way. Cartier Panthère de Cartier and Atkinsons Bizarre have a close profile.
