L'eau de Kasaneka was inspired by the work of Japanese artist Shozo Shimada. He designed the bottle and Shuji Suzuki composed the fragrance. L'eau de Kasaneka is a warm oriental floral composition, complicated and exciting. Spiced accords of ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and basil with a light citrus breeze (bergamot and orange) frame the central floral notes of carnation, jasmine, heliotrope and Japanese rose (Hamamatsu). The profusion of rose is emphasized by musk accords of ambrette seed. Smooth and warm woody notes close the composition: cedar, sandal, vetiver and vanilla. L'eau de Kasaneka was launched in 2004.
Top Notes
Middle Notes
Base Notes
A quick orgasm of basil, cardamon with a touch of mandarin/ bergamot. Varnyte is true, this reminds me of cola drink, but without that boozy soda. Top notes however, gone in 5 second.
Then instantly the nutmeg overruled, followed by a shy caress of light jasmine & powdery carnation. This phase is so low on projection. My nose have to struggle hard to pick up the notes.
Finally, the base is sandalwood with vanilla. I didn't get any bitter vetiver or cedar, as this phase is sweet enough to be a vetiver. The musk came late, but it's there.
To wear Kasaneka, I think I would need at least 5-10 sprays, it really is close to the skin. Subtle but noticeable, so Japanese....
Overall, I really really love the scent! So much of my floriental type, with hints of spices. Cozy and friendly, like a fireplace in winter. But don't be mistaken by its looks, even though the bottle looks oldies it never smells outdated.
Alas, with low projection and longevity, I think I will not buy this one anytime soon.
I really like it, it is oriental and very light at the same time. Reminds me coca-cola a lot!!!:D Problem is that it does not last on my skin for a long time, only a half an hour:(
where i can find it in uk?? l like it very much so please any one help me and give me the name of store. thanks all
The opening is very beautiful, with a lot of orange, bergamot, ginger and Jasmine. But the drydown is poor. I've bought it only because I fall in love with the start notes, but unfortunately they last not so long and than something weird comes out. I had not used this parfum for a long time, until I've got an idea to put some essential oils in there, and now it is a magic smell, driving me crasy.
It smells veeery similar to Dolce Vita by Dior,almost the same.I was dissapointed from this one ,because i was excpecting something new
Can't help it ... i must quickly wash my hands :( I just feel dizzy. This is quite complex fragrance, warm but too heavy, doesn't work for me.
This truly is a masterpiece. A powder soft green veil over spicy vanilla soaked wood in a gentle floral breeze. It`s just poetic. One spray and i turn into a romantic.
The bottle is equally lovely, simple yet elegant. What else is there to say.
Very beautiful, oriental smell. But not smell of India or for example of Morocco- heavy, soundly spicy, stuffy. It is eastern - japanese, so delicate and ingenious. Such quiet composition fruits, spicy ( fine smell cardamon,ginger) andy trees ( cedar,vetiver, sanalwood) . In subtleness very magic. Kasenka not cry, not sing. It is whisper. Discreetly elegant, soft, simply - ideally woman's , if we understand femininity as delicacy, warm, elegancy and secret. Very, very pleases me.
The bottle is so fancy!!!
the juice is also nice. The openning is kinda "fresh" because the combination of orange and ginger. Then nutmeg and cardamon take place, bring a softe warm and a little foody feeling.
I didn't get clear floral notes though. Maybe it's because my skin highlights warm notes more.
One thing that disappointes me is the staying power, for a oriental fragrance, it's a bit short.
