The review
On paper, Casanova is a strong bet if you want A Midsummer Dream for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is A Midsummer Dream's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 82% less than A Midsummer Dream — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on grapefruit and bergamot, turns to elemi, cardamom and moss, and settles into benzoin, vetiver and vanilla. That is the brief Casanova is working from.
Top
- grapefruit
- bergamot
Heart
- elemi
- cardamom
- moss
Base
- benzoin
- vetiver
- vanilla
For the one who wanders a sunlit forest at dusk, a heady green-amber chypre blending citrus, moss and warm balsamic depth.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Roja Parfums A Midsummer Dream we can price, Casanova is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 The Dupe Spot A Midsummer Dream $26/100ml
- 02 Alexandria Fragrances Casanova $110/100ml
- 03 The Dua Brand Enchantment $176/100ml
