Fragrance Notes Deep Dive

This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of Vanilla, Amber, Sandalwood, Musk, Patchouli and Woodsy Notes anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Chopard Casmir leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward Vanilla, Powdery, making Chopard Casmir a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
