Gorgeous

Cassiopea was an impulsive airport duty free purchase but it's a scent that was love at first sniff. This is one that I think fans of Xerjoff Dama Bianca may enjoy because Cassiopea has the same fruity-meringue plush pillowy feeling of Dama Bianca, but unlike the Xerjoff, Cassiopea is undercut and supported by a nice current of clean-robe softness too. It almost gives it expensive shampoo vibes and I mean that in the best way possible.

I see this marketed as unisex but I have a hard time imagining this on a man. To my nose this is an unabashedly feminine fragrance that would work well for a bride and more formal events, but I think it also could be a signature scent for some as it's a fragrance that can be worn year round. Performance and longevity are both good, though I do find it eventually dims to a skin scent (which I'm not mad about but I know that bothers some people.)

I don't always comment on packaging but here, I must. The presentation from Tiziana Terenzi for this line is incredible and Cassiopea may just be my favorite bottle design in my entire collection. Luxurious doesn't even begin to describe the way it feels in the hands. Honestly one to pick up as much for the bottle as the gorgeous juice inside.

Eta: My unabashed love for this continues. However I wanted to update though as I've gotten to know Cassiopea more. I perhaps redact the comparison to Dama Bianca. Cassiopea is soft and fruity yes but the musk in this gives it a very different texture that is sort of hard to explain. It's not a dirty or animalic musk by any means. It is a decidedly clean musk to my nose but there's a quality and, as I said, a texture to Cassiopea that I find a little bit flirty and maybe even a little saucy? In any event if I had a signature scent, I think this would be one of the ones that would qualify as worthy. Pretty and appropriate any time, anywhere I always feel clean, pretty, confident and feminine wearing this scent. Works year round too.

Very fruity feminine fragrance

Cassiopea is definitely a female fragrance. I could not imagine wearing this one, but I find it quite potent and sexy on my wife. As one can anticipate from the notes list, this fragrance is very fruity, sweet and floral. Top notes are relatively fresh, with passion fruit being the most prominent one. Generally I like blackcurrant in perfumes, it is quite an unique note, but I can hardly detect it here. After the initial fruity blast one can smell the sweet-floral heart on a creamy woody-musc base. To me the fragrance smells very natural and well blended. The longevity and sillage are great so be careful on the sprayer. In the same time this could also be a negative thing. My wife actually gave up of wearing this one because it is too strong and "aggressive" even with only a couple of sprays so that she doesn't enjoy wearing it. I would not agree that it smells fresh and clean. For example, if you imagine Chanel Chance eau fraiche being a fresh fragrance, Cassiopea is nowhere near. It is much sweeter and heavier formulation. We should maybe give it a one more chance, but it could be that we are going to get rid of this one. Oh yea, the presentation and the bottle are great, but I think that you really have to love this fragrance to get over the price tag.

A women's fragrance just to my taste

I ordered a sample of this fragrance last month. My first test of a scent from this expensive brand. A brand that has many fans here. Also someone I enjoy writing to and we often have similar tastes. Even though some of this brand seem interesting to me, I decided on this one. I am extremely fond of fruity-floral fragrances, and the fact that it is listed as unisex piqued my curiosity. Since I also like to test for women, it wouldn't have been a disappointment if it were only feminine. And so it is. Only the base or the dry-down has a slight unisex touch; until then, it is a sensual women's fragrance.

The bottles and packaging look luxurious according to the price. Especially the Luna Collection with its beautiful golden cap and elegant label.
The fragrance is, as mentioned, primarily a fruity-floral scent. I love these two characteristics in women's fragrances. Not necessarily all of them, but here they are perfectly executed. Especially this stunning top note. For fruit lovers, it is an absolute must to test this. These fruity notes are definitely not run-of-the-mill. This mix of passion fruit and blackcurrant at the start is simply heavenly and very alluring. It slightly reminds me of chewy candies like Maoam. Not Maoam, but the more exotic ones that I used to enjoy snacking on. Yes, very delicious! Even when the floral notes come in, it remains at this high level. Very feminine and seductive. This wonderful fruity note paired with the floral notes is a mix that attracts me magically and makes me dream.
It takes a few hours for the base to set in. It is soft and standard. Musk-tonka-sandal, nothing special, but quite pleasant. Some of the top and heart notes linger longer, and the DNA remains intact.
The performance is really good as well. I haven't checked it precisely, but it should last around 10 hours with good sillage, especially at the beginning.

Suitable especially thanks to its sensuality for flirting, dating, nightlife, and also simply for the beautiful and special moments in life. Despite the fruity notes, it also suits more mature women due to its noble execution. But you simply have to like and love fruity notes to wear this fragrance.

On New Paths

Well, you actually don't fit into my fragrance world at all.

Your fruit.
It is so delicately creamy, it is so puréed, it is so strained.
There are no seeds, there is no pulp.
You don't come across as artificially sweetened to me.
Sure, you are sweet. Much sweeter than I usually like. There’s nothing bitter, no moss or anything like that.
But I don’t feel like you’re clogging my pores and nose.

Your dark berries also bring me a bit of pear. And I have the feeling that one or two small green leaves might have been whirled through the mixer as well. But just briefly, as they were probably well strained afterwards.

And while I’m still on the fruit cream, flowers come in and merge with the fruit. They have such a fine aromatic spice nuance. And I must say, it suits you excellently.

You become a little warmer. Not that there was even a hint of coolness before. No, a softened vanilla note is added. This happens quite slowly. You take your time. And for me, you also show a hint of amaretto. Not that you have any kind of alcoholic scent. No, it’s more like just the smell without the percentages. And you also appear a bit creamier to me now.

Actually. Why actually?

Is pure masculinity masculine? No! Because…

The bottle:
A dream of quality!
Typical of Terenzi, one might almost say. You almost feel bad wanting to wear this fragrance without having dressed up nicely beforehand.

The scent itself:
Dominating for me are the musk and the passion fruit. Then the sandalwood. The other notes eventually join in.

For whom is the scent:
It is indicated as unisex.
At the first "sniff," it suggests a feminine direction. This is the common and current opinion about this scent.
But for me, this fragrance is just as wearable by a man.
Is this scent, to pick up the title of this article, pure masculinity? No! It is not.
Is pure masculinity, masculine or something desirable for a man? Absolutely not!! Because..

We all know the symbol of Yin and Yang (except my phone, which constantly tries to turn my Yin into a thing…). We also all know the extended form of this symbol with a black dot on the white side and a white dot on the black side. The "Taijitu," which represents the individual Yin and Yang.
I want to take this symbol for my upcoming explanation and elaborate:
Referring to the two (most common..) genders, this symbol represents the man on one side and the woman on the other. The dominant color on each side stands for the main attributes of both genders. For the man, and this is my own definition, so I have no idea if this is really the case, but knowing myself, it should be true:
It is assertiveness and boldness. For the woman: The ability for empathy and intuition.
The respective points symbolize that both sides also possess a bit of the opposite side. And they turn the supposed antagonist into an ally, ultimately creating a unity that leads both sides to interlock like two puzzle pieces. The result: Harmony.
It also shows us that we must stand fully in our respective energy and its attributes to allow a bit of the other side.
A good example might be Christopher Columbus; who could boast many masculine attributes like courage, recklessness, assertiveness, a bunch of unrefined and unwashed guinea pigs, and the ability to separate from the safe harbor of family and loved ones (which is what most fairy tales are actually about, by the way, and not about slaying dragons or waking up some chicks) but in the end, thanks to a feminine attribute, was able to lead his journey to success. Namely: Intuition!
The fact that he got lost and ended up completely somewhere else than he originally intended only confirms this in the end. And when you look at the paintings showing how the ships park… but back to Cassiopea by Tiziana Terenzi..
So if you are a man who stands fully in his masculine energy, and that is never "pure" masculinity, you can wear this scent, my friend!
Treat yourself!

Fine!
