Temperamental vanilla
I had searched both high and low for Casmir for approximately 6 months, so you can imagine how excited I was when I finally stumbled upon it. My expectations were huge. I was so eager to test this famous vanilla-based scent.

I sprayed on both the card and my wrist, and unable to resist or contain my excitement any longer, I inhaled deeply.

The aroma was indeed strong, but only very subtle with the vanilla. It had an oriental feel to it, yet I felt that the citruses were a little too sour and basic. I was quite disappointed, since this had been something I'd dreamt about, almost being crazy enough to buy it blind.

I proceeded to test other fragrances to ease my disappointment, until about an hour later I was met with a beautiful scent wafting around me. I was pleased to discover that it was Casmir enchanting me with its glorious aroma.

Casmir is the absolute perfect orange-vanilla fragrance; gourmand, just like an orange flavoured cake topped with sweet vanilla icing. However, this is no toothache, this is incredibly sexy and rich.

Towards the drydown, Casmir captures me with its subtle spicyness and smokey incense quality. It's exotic and seductive all rolled into one. May I also add that the sillage and lasting strength is highly commendable. I added Casmir to my wishlist immediately.

Beautiful, elegant Casmir...
After a long time of curiosity about Casmir I got a sample of it. ½ hour later I purchased a huge bottle!
I don't get much of the fruit in the opening, which is okay with me as peach is risky and sometimes gets cloying to me.
The heart is simply wonderful imo. I get a lot of cinnamon and lots of other spices as well, though they're not listed. Generally a sweet scent, but not the modern candy/cake/foody kind which I'm not fond of. The drydown doesn't have that slightly nauseating quality that I've experienced so often. Casmir develops very slowly, I really get to enjoy it for hours. Even long-lasting perfumes tend to reach the drydown phase too soon - but not Casmir.
The sillage is - how should I put it - surprising. When I think it's turned into a skin scent, I suddenly get whiffs out of nowhere. I don't even have to get warm the get the sudden whiffs. I reapplied once when I tried it, but I realised I wouldn't have had to do that. Amazing.
The longevity is just fantastic. Sometimes (not always) it lasts almost 24 hours on me. I think I've experienced that with maybe 3 perfumes in my life, if not even fewer.
Even though I have a 100ml bottle, I really have to hold myself back from getting 10 backups. That would be crazy..
I love it. So classy, soft yet strong, spicy yet tender.

Microwaved plastic vanilla
The title pretty much says it all!
I really wanted to like Casmir but it wasn't meant to be. On my skin it is a hair raising horror of cloying plasticky vanilla, shrill, bilious and nauseating.
It's the love child of a Twinkie and a science experiment gone wrong.
It's what would happen to the planet if a nuclear bomb was dropped on a synthetic vanilla laboratory.
It's a nightmare on my skin, lol.

Gourmand Ancestry
I see Casmir (1991) as the amphibious step where evolution took a creature from the oriental sea to the terra firma of the gourmand. The vanilla is comfortably inedible and the peachy/apricot fruit, when magnified by benzoin and patchouli grows unsettlingly inedible. It's the scent of overripe fruit or spoiled jam or a syrupy liqueur. The unresolved dessert that had hidden at the background of big amber orientals for years took two steps forward and gave us the fairly ugly but certainly interesting Casmir.

Vintage classic
Casmir was a 1990s era masterpeice. Oriental magic with lots of creamy vanilla accords that seemed to go on forever.

Jasmine and lily of the valley take the center of attention. Carnation-its there, lending a reserved spiciness. Its is mostly toasty tonka/benzoin/amber with patcholi holding it together. Its seductive quality should be a controlled substance. Oh, this baby has lots of castoreum in it. My cat divebombs me it I wear it!

The bottle is like an Indian fairy tale. The lotus logo is sublime, promising tranquility. Indeed, this is a bedtime fragrance. Its ideal for young mothers holding who will give young babies enchanted memories of comforting vanilla.
I have an original splash bottle from 1991 and it has held together perfectly. Why wasnt it promoted more? This is/was the first real gourmand.

Apparently there is a bad reformulation that many are sadly experiencing. Burnt Plastic vanilla? Really? I am heartbroken...

Lancaster version (old): stunning opoponax & smoky vanilla, Coty (new): vanilla cream pudding with peaches on top. I love the old one.

Shocking vanilla opening with overripe peach. Settles into a plasticky, peachy fruit compote.

Just tested, a blast of sweet myrrh on the face! It is as I recall it, identical to Td'O Mirra, cloying. Collectible, but it's not my kind.
