| The rare and exotic cassie
flower is not easily tamed. Intoxicating, bestial, bordering on coarse,
its fragrance is from another era: the Thirties, when women dared
to wear voluptuous, disturbing scents. Using such old-fashioned ingredients
as mimosa absolute, jasmine absolute, cassie absolute and rose absolute,
with carnation as counterpoint and a vanilla and sandalwood base,
Dominique Ropion has achieved a very precise, contemporary translation
of this theme from the past. Rich, intricate, complex - like a haute
couture gown. UNE FLEUR DE CASSIE was made for connoisseurs. |
