My Greatest Treasure
For almost 20 years, I have searched for this fragrance. Once, with a subscription to a perfume magazine, I received a miniature of Cassilia, which was groundbreaking for my development towards fruity, gourmand, and sweet scents. Unfortunately, it was not available anywhere in the Western world until recently, so I had to sadly accept that I might never get it. However, I continued to search for it online regularly since 2000. A few days ago, I found it: 3 bottles in the 50 ml size. I can hardly describe my happiness in words. The bottle resembles a pink evening gown. Specifically, the appearance of singer Michelle in a pink evening dress at the ESC 2001 with the song and lyrics "Wer Liebe lebt" reflects the elegance of this bottle, the fragrance, and my tireless search for it. Cassilia has only a light sweetness, starting with raspberries and blackcurrants, a bit of peach accompanied by apricots. The floral notes in the middle are just a hint, while sandalwood and tonka bean dominate the finish along with a touch of the berries.
Unfortunately, the longevity is only a maximum of 4-5 hours, and you need significantly more than 1-2 sprays, but it will always be a highlight to have the honor of finally wearing Cassilia.

Fragrance Gimmick
This perfume has never encountered me in stores. I only know it as a mini that was an addition to a specific issue of a perfume journal in the 90s. I can’t remember the title of that magazine (someone can surely help me out here!). Each issue had a specific perfume as the main theme (and the mini as a bonus), but also covered other topics related to perfume. Why "Gimmick"? Those older might remember the comic magazine Yps, where each issue also had such a "gimmick." I was an enthusiastic reader during my elementary school years and even a few years beyond, even though the gimmicks, especially the plastic ones to assemble, usually didn’t work properly for me...

But now to the scent:
The perfume starts fruity, sweet, and slightly bitter at the same time. The black currant is certainly responsible for the latter, which I can recognize quite well. "Cassilia" is also floral, with rose definitely present, but not dominant. As it develops on me, it becomes slightly soapy. Powdery, but not really, and the other scent types mentioned here - earthy and fougere - I cannot perceive on my skin at all. My current specimen (also just a mini) - recently acquired via the internet - seems to not be the freshest anymore... perhaps some scent notes are already missing. My old one from the 90s is long empty. But not used up, rather evaporated (other offered specimens are also rarely completely full!) The quality of the closure is apparently not optimal.
I used to quite like "Cassilia," but today my enthusiasm is somewhat tempered (7.5). Not bad, but in the large army of floral-fruity perfumes, I prefer others because they seem more extraordinary or even more natural.
