What does Essence of Casablanca (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with apple and grape, fresh and sugary. In the heart, orris root adds a powdery softness while patchouli grounds it slightly. The base of balsam, musk, vanilla and amber dries down into a sweet, gourmand, creamy warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evening, night out and leisure wear, and while voters mostly call it feminine, it works as a unisex scent. Swiss Arabian Casablanca (Eau de Parfum) and Lancôme La Nuit Trésor à la Folie have a close profile.
