A powdery, elegant take on chestnut
Sometimes it's just nice to smell a fragrance that smells exactly like how you imagined it. Casse-Noisette is that for me. A perfect mix of sweet, nutty and floral.
The marron glacé note is lovely, as if the chestnuts were still in the process of getting glazed. There is something sparkling, freshly caramelizing about the opening. If you expect roasted chestnuts like in Zadig & Voltaire This is Her, no, these are not the same.
The sweetness calms down after a while, so this is not a monotone gourmand. Don't get me wrong, it is a sweet scent through and through, but the florals and woods also make their appearance and balance it out. They add a beautiful background that is partly creamy and partly powdery.
I don't think the jasmine is very realistic, it gives more of a general white floral sweetness than smelling like a real jasmine shrub. Funnily the neroli is at its most noticeable some hours in, even though it's usually more of a topnote. The cedar base is very soft and warm, I think I would have guessed sandalwood instead of cedar if I hadn't seen the notes.
This is quite versatile and elegant, especially for a gourmand. I don't really see it in summer, it just wouldn't fit the mood, but for autumn, winter and any cooler spring day, it's super wearable day and night. The clean, creamy aspects of the white flowers really elevate the sweet maron glacé. A gorgeous scent.
