Casablanca Benchaâbane

After we were lucky enough to meet the nice perfumer last year, received several samples, and I got my hands on the masterpiece Soir de Marrakesch, things went a bit quiet for the young brand. However, I recently got lucky with a sample of a completely unknown fragrance from Parfums de la Soleil, so it didn't take long to land on my wrist.

Casablanca exudes a bit of Moroccan feeling, with a touch of Hollywood fantasy, and is a good scent. However, it is certainly not something extraordinary; in my opinion, it will have faded from my fragrance memory in four weeks. At its best, it reminds me of a good MFK, and at its less impressive moments, more of Rasasi. A significant gap, but this clear unisex scent fills it. Quite floral, yet still sharp and spicy, not too feminine, which I like. Unfortunately, Casablanca doesn't even come close to the most beautiful floral fragrances like Insense or Dior Homme. A lovely, creamy blend of lavender, tonka cream, anise, and iris evokes memories of Code or LIDG, but nothing new. No major criticism, beautiful remains beautiful, and if it's not too expensive, I would give it the stamp of "worth buying." However, I am not informed about prices, and better fragrances from the brand have already been under my nose. One must be honest about that.

Bottle: thin, elegant, fine
Sillage: thin, elegant, fine
Longevity: thin, elegant, fine (5 hours)

Conclusion: another representative from Morocco that is partly really beautiful, but still rightly stands in the shadow of the magnificent Soir de Marrakesch!
