Cassie, a rare flower with an intense scent, does not yield easily. Intoxicating, animalic, sometimes brutal, it is a fragrance of another era. However, through a modern and infinitely precise composition, Dominique Ropion provides a very contemporary interpretation. Composed of the most precious absolutes—mimosa, jasmine, cassie, rose—and softened by musk, vanilla, and sandalwood, this rich and complex perfume strikes with a sonority typical of the 1930s, like a Sacha Guitry film.

Details
Perfumer : Dominique Ropion
Dominique Ropion trained at Roure Bertrand Dupont in Grasse, then in Paris, before joining Jean-Louis Sieuzac, one of the greatest technicians in perfumery. Today a star perfumer at IFF, his work is distinguished by a blend of precision and freedom, and a taste for risk and experimentation. Curious about everything and a perfectionist like a watchmaker, he calibrates his accords in a methodical, patient, and meticulous manner. Dominique Ropion loves to marry extremes to find novel balances and unexpected formulas. He is an adventurous formulator, instinctive yet extremely rigorous; a particularly inventive man and an outstanding technician.
