Antidris Cassis

This smells like a voluspa candle I used to have, but wearable. I have a feeling it was a cassis scent too. This turns warm on my skin, surprisingly and thankfully. I’m obsessed. It’s a more mature, clean, cozy scent to me. It lasts on clothes. I sprayed one spritz on my winter jacket and it has lasted for days and when I put it on after work and smell that smell, it’s just so relaxing to me. It’s a smell I want my whole house to smell like, but I also love to wear it. It’s not sexy, it’s not overly feminine, I just find it fresh and cozy in a unique way. It’s one of those scents where I smelled it and thought “finally”. I’ve been searching for a signature scent like this for a long time.

I have the small perfume oil. I am absolutely in love with this fragrance. I’ve been eyeing diptyques L’ombre dans l’eau for a while now and decided to try this beauty and I’m quite impressed. It opens green and fruity and then the rose pops in and it makes so much sense! I’m in love with this. I was considering getting the full bottle but instead splurged on diptyque instead because I wanted a spray and cassis only comes as a rollerball perfume oil. I will def be using this one for travel purposes because it’s the perfect size. I look forward to comparing the two when the perfume arrives. So far I give this one 10/10.

i don’t tend to be super into fragrance oils because they don’t last long on my skin but this is absolutely beautiful and longlasting. The black currant is juicy and sweet, and the rose, while prominent, feels very realistic and green rather than the overwhelming, artificial, overly done rose we all know and come to expect most of the times. I’m not usually a rose fan, but this has to be one of my favorite perfumes right now and I carry it everywhere with me; perfect for spring!

The opening is so lovely - a really green rose with dewdrops on its bud... cassis is definitely dominant here, brings that fresh smell with a hint of floral. I agree with others that the dry down turns quite different, but personally I don't dislike it, though I more prefer the opening. The silage is so-so probably because is oil based perfume, but it's super long lasting comparing to other alcohol based perfumes. Love its performance overall, it has become this spring's go to.

This was my signature from 2018-2020 or so — first smelled it as a candle and then tracked it down (in my memory, the candle was almost a bit saltier or reminded me of the ocean in some way). I think the oil carries the scent better than the spray, but I always wished the sillage was greater (and that it lasted a bit longer). Clean, bright, but not too floral or feminine. Put it on as a little pick-me-up.

I don't see the problem some others have with this. It's beautiful and unisex as hell. I personally love it. To me, it smells like candied roses or what an actual sugar plum fairy would smell like, probably a lesbian sugar plum fairy. Or a nonbinary garden gnome. In the best way.

The funkiness people are referencing - I get it. Do you know what this is? It’s Biosilk hair serum + roses. As someone who sniffs my Biosilk bottle the way I sniff fragrance atomizers, I am sooo glad I found this 😍

The best oak moss I’ve ever smelled. Opening is powerful, leans masculine/gym scent. Settles into a beautiful garden, smoky rose. Very unique and universal.

I like this... Smells really fresh on my skin. One of the few freshies that cuts through the cold temperature without smelling screechy or too citrus.

Wait , I actually like this! It’s interesting in a good way! I keep sniffing my wrist because the accords that come through are *slightly* different every time. The black currant, of course, is the most obvious only second to the unmistakable rose note, but I think the base notes that carry the scent is where it gets interesting in the best of ways. Before looking at the notes I guessed violet and Iris were in here because the sweetness reminded me of candied violet and the powdery accord( which I now think is a combination of the rose and oak moss, even though powdery isn’t one of the accords listed) reminded me of that of Iris notes. The Tonka at the base really gives this a warmth that makes it so unique and the oak moss is so divine! It’s so funny that I just reviewed another fruity floral prior to this review and lamented that fruity florals just don’t seem to be a profile for my tastes, but I really like this one! This could work for day or nighttime in the warmer seasons. Edit: 30 mins later and whatever powder accord I was picking up is gone and now this is a sweet delicious fruity floral shampoo scent. This is so good! Edit 2; Oh, this is even better on dry down! It’s so green, mossy, and enveloped in beautiful white rose with the lovely sweetness of tonka.. I think the white rose may have been what I confused with candied violets. This isn’t a linear fragrance on me at all and it’s quite beautiful! I bought this in a discovery set of all of Maison Louis Marie’s fragrances and I’m definitely buying the full size. I think I might purchase the small oil rollerball as well. Edit: So it’s almost a week later and I went and bought the full size!

Top Notes: Cassis/ Bergamot/ Black Pepper Middle Notes: White Rose Base Notes: Oakmoss/ Musk/ Tonka This fragrance starts with a strongly fruity opening, among which bergamot overlaps with a sour-ish sweetness. I would assume that the berry-like sweetness comes from the Cassis, since Google told me that Cassis is “a sweet, dark red liqueur made from blackcurrants”. What surprised me is that the combination of sourness and the white rose in this perfume produces an extremely green scent. The freshness is even more vivid when I started associating the berry-like sourness with the taste of liquor, reminding me of those unavoidable decaying flowers in garden. However, this “filter” over the rose does not go away easily( though on my skin the bergamot here volatilizes in about an hour), which for me goes beyond a natural state but to an artificial rawness. The sense of artifact is also enhanced by the underlying musk. Antidris Cassis lasts about 10 hours on my skin and diminishes with a blur of warmness. That being said, oak moss and tonka in its base do not really stand out on me respectively. The sillage is pretty strong in the first 3,4 hours and then sticks well to the skin, but for those who doesn’t enjoy a green fragrance it can still be a little bit overpowering. Overall this perfume definitely worths a try if you want to find a rose fragrance with a green rawness. For me, it would be a much better buy if I had not used the rose body cream by REN... They just smell so so so similar!

would describe this as plainly "just nice." my fav & most reached-for from the rollerball sample set i got from this house forever ago, which is not saying much, cuz they were all pretty unimpressive. antidris cassis is pleasant and inoffensive, fresh and green and subtle with its rose. i don't pick up on the pepper accord very much.. more like a vague gesture in the direction of fresh spicy than any real delivery has basically no performance (cuz rollerball i guess) but it's the kind of thing that would leave someone saying "you smell nice!" after a hug. and yes i get the astringent note a little... but i kinda like it lol. i reach for this on a pleasant spring day, or late winter when new green stems are starting to grow and the world is coming back to life. i wore this while traveling and it became a nostalgic scent for me, will always remind me of driving highway 1 & breezy california summer weather. when my bottle runs out i might get the candle, but if it weren't for that nostalgia i would probably just forget this one

I credit this perfume with inspiring my ever-growing interest in fragrance. Purchased a few years ago, I wear it sparingly, but was so intrigued when I first sniffed it because of that funky, dark note (the black pepper, I'm thinking.) It smelled like dirt and yet I enjoyed it so much; it got me thinking about what other odd smells I might be pleasantly surprised by in perfumes. So I always (lovingly!) refer to this as my "dirt perfume." I don't get much of the rose at all, but the pepper and blackcurrant are forthright. I love its earthiness. It's great for layering with lighter, more floral or sweet scents to funk them up a little. On its own, it works very nicely as a non-intrusive skin scent. A fun and curious member of my collection.

This is much sharper than I expected based on the descriptions. I know cassis is somewhat sour and there’s also the bergamot, but this is almost grapefruit-like to me, like a grapefruit rose fragrance with some green notes. I’m someone who very much enjoys citrus fragrances but I’m not sure how I feel about this. It borders on screechy when paired with rose. I’m glad I tested this before buying l’ombre dans l’eau. The dry down is mossier and more pleasant to me and it’ll probably be more refreshing once summer hits.

Wow, just wow. I saw. I tried this one in the sampler set, and it was by far my favourite of the line. It's so underrated! A beautiful natural cassis note perfectly executed (and this comes from someone who generally hates fruit notes in fragrance - they usually smell too synthetic to me), and a lovely true rose bud smell. Very unique, very natural smelling, perfect every day summer fragrance, in my view.

my favorite from this house (have the sample set, and so far, have also tried bois de balincourt and le long fond). a light, vibrant scent that reminds me of walking through my grandmother's rose garden on a crisp summer morning - the smell of roses, neither powdery nor heady, but instead brilliantly green. the rose, its stem, and the leaves. really tempted to buy a full-sized bottle.

This is a very clean, borderline soapy rose...almost aquatic, no sweetness whatsoever. Definitely a great daytime, spring/summer freshie, safe for the office or gym. Soft, elegant, feminine leaning floral.

It's nice, I'm keeping it bc I have nothing like this in my collection. But if you've ever used a Bath and Body Works 3 wicks candle called "Currant" , it smells exactly like that.

Crisp, green, slightly peppery and the rose peeks through perfectly. Love everything about this fragrance.

I liked this right after I applied it - fresh and very in sync with the season - I tried it in early April. I also really like the idea of black currant scents, it brings memories of my grandparents growing bushes of black currant in my childhood and having tea with a black currant leaf while visiting their countryside cottage. Unfortunately Antidris Cassis is not the one for me when it comes to black currant fragrances because I really don't like the drydown (which is always the most important part for me). It's one of those things when you can't quite pin down why you dislike something but just catching the scent in the air an hour later makes you wish you weren't. I got this as a part of the discovery and I think I will be giving it more chances. It is not a bad fragrance, and I feel like the drydown has some notes that I perhaps just generally usually dislike in perfumes. I will try layering it with other perfumes cause I definitely had good experiences with that before. 6/10
