Cassiopea

The fragrance opens with a delicious note of passionfruit, it evokes a mix of tropical fruits and some flowers. Its initial projection is very good, the opening is aromatic, a great combination of passion fruit, lemon, and some flowers. The cassis adds a sweet, vanilla-like aroma that enhances the opening; the fern adds a soft green and earthy tone. The lemon adds an important fresh/citrusy accord, important to avoid a fragrance that otherwise would be too sweet. The floral tones listed as mid notes come up immediately after the initial application, they balance the fragrance that otherwise would feel just fruity and sweet. After a few minutes, Tiziana Terenzi Cassiopea reaches its dry-down, here the sandalwood adds a soft woody touch that adds depth to the scent; the tonka bean adds some more sweetness and the must enhance a bit the lemon note of the opening. Once the fragrance has reached its final dry-down, it can be summarized as a sweet, passionfruit, and lemon fragrance with some floral, woody, and faint musky accords. The fragrance feels delicious, unique, modern, unisex, and very pleasant. Batch reviewed: 2020 Wow Rating: 10/10. A delicious, tropical, citrusy fragrance with some soft floral accords.

I will say this opens as a very soapy vibe. I get the passionfruit, cassis, and lemon at the beginning. Then the tonka and sandalwood come out making it a smooth jammy rose and fruits. The dry down on my skin is interesting.On my skin the drydown is like fuity jammy smooth rose with a bite of green. I think it is the carnation or fern at play. It takes the smoothness and sweetness and cuts it. It reminds me of cutting fresh flowers. Like you are in the kitchen, after showering with some fruity soap and you are cutting some jammy roses over the sink. Your toddler takes the green stems and proceeds to mash them to bits near your feet. So there you are fruity jammy creamy rose with this bright green aromatic scent cutting through. I would say 25+. Strikes me as a more mature fragrance. I would say leans more feminine in tone. More of a casual fragrance but definitely business professional as well. I imagine a mom doing some housework and then out for a small walk in the woods with family. I like it personally, but dont know if it is full bottle worthy just because its more of an everyday scent and price is pretty high.

I adore this scent, it is a fruity fragrance that is so refined. It was between this and Erba Pura. I’ve been sampling both for a very long time and thought the creamier Erba Pura was the winner but the musk in that became too sharp for me, so Cassiopeia won. This fragrance sneaks up on you and projects more the longer it settles on the skin. Love the airy, slight greenness in the opening. Also that rose tea elevates the blend from just your regular fruity sweet scent. The dry down has this creamy Tonka which deepens the fragrance and the musk is not sharp. This reminds me of a mix of Killian Princess only because of that addicting airy tea note and Xerjoff Erba Pura because of that strong clean fruity note. I was thinking of getting both but no need because I have this now. It’s a love! #1 spring/summer fruity fragrance in my collection, but is also beautiful and crisp in cooler weather. Update 20Apr2023: Have to use up within Best by range or less, else it will start to smell like vinegar.

My go-to perfume, it’s feminine, it’s fresh (soapy type of fresh), it’s giving you’re bathing with luxurious soap. It’s creamy-fruity, not bright juicy fruity. Ignore the fragantica reviewers that thinks so highly of themselves and trash every perfume, they probably smells like poo because they’re too cool for any ‘textbook pleasing perfume’ so they go around smelling like 600-dollars vomit with a twist. Though I think the DNA is acceptable for almost everyone, and somehow familiar, It’s not that common amongst popular options, so you can make this as your signature scent without being overly unique and hard to understand; in another word, people will instantly love it.

I've had like 2-3 bottles of this perfume until now which I think speaks to how much I enjoy this perfume. I really enjoy light floral sweet scents and the combination of all the notes is just perfect. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it and I feel it isn't too light or too strong of a scent. I wear this all year round but I'd say it is most suited for summer/spring. However, the price is pretty high for perfume but as someone who wears this every day (or nearly everyday), I think it is worth it. The bottle is also beautiful and so is the box it comes in. It also lingers lightly on clothes but it isn't too overpowering. Definitely will buy again if I run out.
