The review

On paper, Velvet Cassia For Women is a strong bet if you want Cassili for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cassili's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Cassili — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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 pear, bergamot and blackcurrant, turns to jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom, and settles into vanilla, musk and sandalwood. That is the brief Velvet Cassia For Women is working from.
