Pandora

OMG this scent brings back school and childhood memories It’s so nostalgic..I love the scent itself as well and the performance is good.. I’m glad to see it here in fragrantica

اتمنى رفع بقية العطورات من جي كازانوفا مثل بلازير ومسيو كازانوفا ومايكل انجلو وملاكيت وغيرها من عطور كازانوفا الرائعة والمهضوم حقها إعلامياً

Saudi based Mahmood Saeed Trading is a licensee of J. Casanova frags for the Arab market and safe to say Pandora is alive and well and still one of their bestsellers. It's that stereotypical 80's powerhouse floral scent that can kill and elephant when you go above 3 sprays. I'd love to own this lovely concoction but the frag is so heady florals for me even with just one spray and 2 hours is a long time for me to wait for its lovely warm woody resinous mid to come. Absolute powerful staying power and sillage. Most definitely not for lovers of light perfumes.

Pandora opens her box and a plethora of aromas emerges. It starts with a sharp intense green accord. The green has several nuances; floral from the Hyacinth, herbal from the marigolds and bitter resins from the Galbanum. The sharpness diminishes as the warmer florals appear in the heart notes, but the greenness is maintained through narcissus and Lily of the valley. There is a mild animalic/indolic undertone. As we approach the base, again the greenness is there through the moss, but almost all sharpness is lost now. I get warm amber, smooth woods and clean musk which add further dimension to the composition. An old school beauty.

OMG finally this arrived on Fragrantica, I used to love Pandora and owned som of the bathline, one of it is a body dusting powder in a compact form,,,, som years ago I found one from SaudiArabia and used it for a while before I got rid of it in a strange way,, I regret it now ): J.Casanova has a huge perfume line but the ones here are the oldest I guess. It is owned by a big perfume supplying shops in Saudi Arabia as I guess... I didn't smell a similar one yet, if you found one, please tell us.
