Casablanca 1942 - the white city
I would love to tell you an anecdote at this point - about the perfume, the film Casablanca released in 1942, or the presumably wonderful city of the same name.
Unfortunately, I have neither seen the old classic with Humphrey Bogart (which probably amounts to a small cinematic sin) nor have I ever been to Casablanca.
But one thing I can tell you:
Testing this fragrance is worth it - even without a contrived story!
The scent opens with a fruity start of apple and grape, with the grape only present for a brief moment. It quickly develops a warm heart note, carried by a subtle iris. Creamy vanilla and gentle amber stand out particularly, giving the fragrance a delicate gourmand quality as well as an oriental softness.
As for projection and longevity, I must agree with my predecessors:
This fragrance is not a beast.
But that only emphasizes its tenderness. After about three hours, it becomes very intimate, and after about five to six hours, it says goodbye - at least on the skin.
And yet, this intimacy makes Casablanca a very personal companion.
It may not last exceptionally long, but it is intense, warm, and gourmand.
I also find it to be absolutely unisex, equally wearable by a woman or a man.
For me, Casablanca is a charming second place within the City Collection from Swiss Arabian, which has truly created distinctive and high-quality fragrances with this line. Those who can overlook the moderate sillage and longevity will find a clear recommendation here.
That said:
Tonight, I will finally watch the old flick - and who knows, maybe my next trip will indeed be to the "white city of dreams".
Rumor has it that there are beautiful beaches there.
Thanks for reading, stay healthy!
