The review
Velvet Cassia scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Cassili.
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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Cassili — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
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
Parfums de Marly Cassili is pear, bergamot and blackcurrant at first, jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom at its heart and vanilla, musk and sandalwood at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- pear
- bergamot
- blackcurrant
Heart
- jasmine
- ylang-ylang
- orange blossom
Base
- vanilla
- musk
- sandalwood
Ripe pear and white florals melt into vanilla and benzoin for a soft, radiant sweetness.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 5 twins of Parfums de Marly Cassili we can price, Velvet Cassia is number 2 on price per 100ml.
