The Queen of Scents
As can be easily seen, this fine favorite is my signature scent. I still remember the first time I got to test it in a small, exquisite perfumery.
As is usual for me, I tested well over 40 fragrances on such a day. Accordingly, I was quite dazed after a while. However, with this scent, I became as clear as rarely before. Once sprayed on the test strip, I absolutely wanted to smell it on my skin.
So, I did just that and dabbed my wrist with this fine magic. To me, it smells like it's from another world, almost like pure, liquid gold. I had never smelled anything like it before. The name is no less graceful than the scent itself: Cassiopea. For some reason, I always think of a deity from ancient Greek mythology. And indeed! She was not a goddess, but a queen and the mother of Andromeda. I imagine a beautiful, dark-haired beauty.
Now to the scent: To me, it smells very fruity and powdery. Both in a very noble and yet somewhat playful way. Not the conventional makeup powder that one might know from "Teint de Neige." Rather elevated, soft, fluffy, as if packed in a bubble. I cannot identify the fruits; they are very present and seem very high-quality. Blackcurrant, I know from nature differently, and I must say I am glad not to recognize it here. Because that would make the scent very dark and heavy, which it absolutely is not. The tonka bean and the musk are also very untypically processed, but they give the scent its unmistakable sweetness.
I cannot detect any scent progression, which makes me very happy as it is perfect just the way it is. It requires no change or development. I can wear it anytime, whether summer or winter, day or evening, whether fancy or among friends. It is very present and has already earned me several compliments. Even from my partner, who is rather skeptical of sweet and fruity scents, it is absolutely well-received, and I keep getting compliments.
So, it is worth taking out a few extra bucks to acquire this gem! The bottle is less to my taste, as the cap is very heavy and solid. However, the bottle itself feels great, as it has a soft material.

Thank you for your lovely description, which only makes me EVEN more curious. Signature trophy for you!
I've been keeping an eye out for a small sample for a while now, but unfortunately, no luck so far. But I won't give up! One day I'll get Cassiopea under my nose; it could definitely match my taste.
