The review
Worth a try. That is where Cassius Prime lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Carlisle.
Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Carlisle's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra 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
What it is chasing: green apple, saffron and nutmeg up top, Tonka Bean, osmanthus and davana in the middle, vanilla, patchouli and opoponax underneath — the shape of Parfums de Marly Carlisle.
Top
- green apple
- saffron
- nutmeg
Heart
- Tonka Bean
- osmanthus
- davana
Base
- vanilla
- patchouli
- opoponax
For the one who wants a spicy apple-and-saffron opening melting into warm tonka, vanilla and patchouli, an opulent bright-meets-dark statement with real presence.
