Cascade Chopard for women

I'm very glad I've finally managed to put my hands on a Cascade sample because the fragrance was on my "to test" list for a long long time and I couldn't find a sample anywhere.

I like orchids in perfumes very much and here I have it as a prominent note. I can also detect wood, something that may be the cereus - that's why the orchid is with mix of something - also a bit of pepper (not too much), mandarin orange, musk... drydown hasn't come yet, but I'll update news about it and lasting power when the time comes.

My overall impression is that Cascade is cosy, sweet, powdery, very creamy - with a slightly burnt note. Actually it reminds me a bit about My Insolence - but it's paler - as if the orchid with cereus maybe were in exchange for the berry note in My Insolence. Cascade is like a pale pink light fabric but I don't consider the fragrance 100% warm even if it's cosy and powdery... there's a touch of cold in it, like a cold satin - strange, it's warm and cold altogether in heart and head notes ;)

So my update: the drydown came and I must say Cascade became definitely warm then and... similar to L'Instant de Guerlain, edp version! I'm surprised. Now it's not that Cascade is a two Guerlains copycat, no. It's different but brings them two to my mind simply. I perfer the drydown note the best - I'm an Instant de Guerlain lover and My Insolence isn't loved by me because of a similar burnt note Cascade on me has. But I do admit Cascade, although it isn't multi-layered, but rather simple fragrance, is interesting, worth trying, well done. It's a kind of pale pink fragrance in top and heart notes and a brown one in base ones.

Ah, and burnt traces disappear in base.

Fragrance: 4,5/5
Sillage: 4/5
Lasting power: 4/5

Bottle like a jewellery :)

Edition: the more I wear it, the more it brings VC&A Birmane to my mind, but of a worse quality. Actually I'm torn to buy a bottle or not - because the fragrance wears good, but it's simple (not much happens).

Edition 2: I couldn't resist. I've ordered a bottle. My sample comes to an end. So there must be something to it - the orchid and amber are nice here, making the fragrance a bit chocolate-y.

defiantly the most Favorite perfume I ever have , I'm going to buy my third battle this week

This is so creamy! OMG! I love it! One of the best mixes of musk, amber, orchid and woodsy deliciousness I've ever encountered. No, there's nothing earth shattering or ground breaking about its composition but it totally satisfies my senses. It's one of the most tantalizing aromas to assault my nose in a very long time. You'll never want to stop smelling this once you've had your first taste. God! I can't stop smelling it. The way this bottle of juice permeates my skin has me on sensory overload. I love the way it smells on my skin. I love the way my fiance coddles me when I'm wearing it. The things this perfume evokes in me. It's so creamy and delectable and sweet. Mmmmm, I can just bathe in this stuff all night long. Yes, I agree it's a simple smell and I can't speak for everyone else, but it totally works me. I guess it just loves my body chemistry or it just drives my guy crazy! To each its own! I'm loving it and that's good enough for me.

Skin scent agreed!

I am sorry to say this but this fragrance has nothing to do with a floral woody musk category.
It smells like a proper oriental vanilla to me, which I do not mind by the way :-)
It opens with lovely pink pepper and mandarine orange and then it becomes really orchid-vanillic without any musky undertone.
There might be a hint of woods there but it is strictly vanilla fragrance, even though vanilla is not listed here :-)
Cascade is a soft powdery sweet fragrance for everyday wear.
I am not reporting any issues with longetivity or silage, the fragrance has a nice silage and it lingers nicely on my skin for a good 6 hours time, a bit longer if I layer it with a Cascade body lotion.
Cascade is a bit magic and sometimes it makes me feel as if I was wrapped in a soft cotton candy. Again, it is not a problem to me as I am a declared gourmand lover!
(That is why I would recommend it to gourmand or oriental-vanilla lovers.)

P.S. A few days later, still testing and must add that I got addicted to Cascade. It has that unusual note coming from heart that makes me sniff my skin all the time. My husband is laughing at me and as an steel industry engineer he suggested that I might be better getting my nose welded to my wrist :-)

I found the bottle design rather hard to handle. I guess I finished around half the bottle and then gave it away. First I liked the scent of the Belle de Nuit flower, but after half the bottle I had enough and decided that it isn't my cup of tea. Somehow I found it too "sticky" or too cloying.

Further to my first review, I just have to add, I thought that this was going to be another fruity concoction but am just so surprised, how unusual it is, it is so much more! I detect something like Agent Provocateur's Strip maybe, then at other times Gucci's Flora, maybe it's the amber that gives it that heaviness but it changes down into something so exquisitely soft and pretty, it is just so bizarrely wonderful. Sure it has the fruity thing happening as well but there is something else magical also, a boozy, fruity, jammy rum soaked custardy cake but also sophistication. Mmmmm, mmmmm!!!

Finally I got to try this! It is quite unusually lovely, reminds me a little of a fragrance Karl Lagerfeld did in the seventies/eighties - KL, after it had softened down after a few hours. Lovely citrus sophisticated, European type scent.

The first thing that attracted me is the bottle designe really very great the scent is very light and soft.

The first thing that struck me about this perfume is how creammmmmmy it is. It's like a creamy orange (Or in this case mandarin) scent. There's a breath of flowers there too and it's quite unsual.

It has a dull sweetness too it also. The main note is that orangey citrus I can smell, but it't not a biting citrus scent, it's being tempered down by the flowers and sweetness. The orchids adds more sweetness.
This perfume is smooth.

It's nice and pretty, in cool bottle, I like it but I don't think it's amazingly special.

Hi.

An Interesting Feminine fragrance that is deliciously warm with a mischievous charm tinged and a touch of Love that is An elixir for senses however this EDP is too expensive.Nothing unique but still a very Nice and well-balanced composition. Creamy,Warm,Romantic, Modern,Feminine and Pleasant.

The combination of notes prevent this EDP from being Heavy and Harsh.Lovely Fresh opening and then floral makes it Charming and Romantic in the Heart and finally an undeniable Femininity in the base notes however dry down is not remarkable for me.

It is ideal for most Occasions Especially an Intimate encounter but it is not for Everyday use.The bottle design deserves attention because it is really stylish.I recommend it for COLD EVENINGS and a Modern Lady who likes
Luxury and Pleasures.

Sillage?Lovely.

Longevity?I wish that CHOPARD could find a way to make the better Longevity because it is not Admissible for me.

6.5/10

Very feminine! Even if I agree lasting power is disappointing, I have to say this is one of my favorites. Creamy describes it best. Like pale pink chiffon. You know there used to be a perfume called Chiffon Sorbet by Escada, my mom had it once. That should have been the name for Cascade. Beautiful bottle, excellent office scent. A bit of orchid, some wood and delicate musk. Sprayed lightly this will not disturb anyone and get you lots of compliments.

I was hooked at first sniff by this one, but it didn't last long.
It is very nice, creamy, soft and seductive, but it doesn't stand in time.
It gets weaker and weaker and also very uncomplex and a little on the cheap Barbie-side.
Too bad. I would have liked it from first notes and bottle.

This was a short and crazy lovestory with no happy ending..
I fell in love with this instantly, this sweet creaminess, a little vanilla, spice and musk. It is pretty much what it comes out like on my skin for the first 20-30 minutes, and despite being a little too simple and not complex enough for my taste, I was enchanted then and probably would be again and again, it seems to suit me well and pretty much be what I had been looking for without knowing!

The longer I wear it the more vanillary it gets, the other notes blend in relentlessly,
and after half an hour at maximum it gets more and more plain and flat.. then more flat.. fat.
From then on it gives me a cheap & sluggish impression. With my chemistry it develops to this generic kind of heavy, very badly made vanilla perfume that you could buy at a dollar store for a tenth of the price.

If I could buy this and only get the first 20 minutes of this scent, I'd be absolutely sold, but what this perfume and my skin do together is a really sad story with a nasty outcome.

Lastly I have to say that sillage and staying power are great, and for the next 6hrs+ I can smell it really well! It's a real pity it so does not work on me.

Hi guest buy cascade!, I am from Spain, and I saw it in Julia´s perfum shop, it´s a chain of perfumery shop from Cataluña, you can see it by internet site. There are many of this shops arround Spain. Here in Valencia, Madrid, Barcelona... I hope it would be helpful, cheers.

I want to by this perfum and Chopard parfums but is imposible, I don´t know what to do.I live in Spain, help please.

I tried it today while meeting a friend. I was wondering what smelled so scrumptious, until I realised it was me wearing Cascade.
Cascade is a mellow mixture of dewy and sweet notes. I can not find any woods in it. Later on it gets creamy and even sweeter, but not in a foody way.
Maybe more for the romantic type, reminds me somehow of an jaunty evening at the theatre. Smelling it I think of the red curtains, lovely gowns and the sweet excitement before the play begins.
Definatly elegant but not too complicated, very feminine but not screaming sexy.
It will surely not become my signature scent, but it will be a charming experience once in a while.

this one is lovely. i was initially attracted to its bottle which is very glamorous and i fell in love with it from the first time i tried it on me. it does smell similar to dior addict in the begining, but the drydown is different. it's not that strong and it is somehow sweeter, like chocolate sweeter. it is definetly on my wishlist for 2010 :)

Long lasting reminds me Dior addict. Love it! Bottle is not that original but this perfume was hard to find. i think Chopard is very different from others and when everyone buys Guerlain I prefer Chopard. I'm really addicted to it.

Nice,sweet,creamy but nothing special. I tested it a few days ago in a shop and I was sure to buy it but then I got a bit disappointed.There is a note in that scent that disturbs me but I don´t know which one it is.I won´t buy it.But the bottle is really nice though.

nice perfume, I bought it as a gift for my friend and she felt in love with the perfume :)

Cheap!
Love the brand, the bottle and the display but smells cheap!

Interesting.... it's lovely, sweet, very warm, but unfortunatelly i think it doesn't go with my skin chemistry. It smells somewhat cheap and very simple on me, like any of the worse celeb-scents. HOwever, I'm sure it can smell fantastic on others.
The bottle looks not nice at all on pictures, but it's definetely better in hand.
Anyway I will try it again in winter, it must behave much better then.

I fell in love immediately!
Top notes are sparkling,fresh and pleasantly sweet-remind me of italian sunsets,heart is charming-deep and warm,
musky powdery drydown is just amazing,
to my nose is similar with Kenzo amour.
Great summer perfume!
