Cassini Oleg Cassini for women

I wore this one in the early/mid 90's and back then I thought it was such a revelation! It is a bit scarce these days, unfortunately. I love scents with incense! Cassini is very refined, stylish and for ladies who love to bit a tad different. I used to have the body powder, shower gel and body lotion as well and used altogether, one knew that the evening was going to be a good one! I received lots of fabulous comments when I used to wear it. I fact, I'm thinking of getting my hands on another bottle!!

Wauw Olga, so you finally did get the original Cassini!
HOW great!!!

I finally got the real deal on my third attempt in a set of lotion and a large EDP. Oh, my, this is gorgeous! I think it shares some base with Black Tie, but this Cassini is a sweet formal occasion version.
Can't wait for the next special occasion to wear it.
This is seriously potent and long lasting stuff!

I suspect I bought an authentic one but I'm thinking it may have gone "off"- perhaps just too old, exposed to heat or light or oxidized. I wish I had a confirmed good one to compare it to, or a nose of someone who knows how it should smell. It smells like something I could like but a bit too funky. There is an over-ripe cantaloupe note- that's the best I can describe it. Is that overly ripe fruit note supposed to be there? I say cantaloupe because it really has that slightly sulphurous smell that says cantaloupe! I am still curious but not enough to spend more money hunting down another one to compare. I've decided to finally post this because today I just received my purchase of L'Art di Gucci and I'm sad to find I'm having a similar experience, although not as much as with Cassini. Does anyone else smell this "note" in Cassini?

Olga!! I was able to buy some on Fragrancex, fragrancenet and maybe beautyencounter??
Good luck!!

Action, any input on where I have more chances of getting a legitimate version? I might give it one more try...after i get rid of this one. lol

I am afraid indeed Olga, that you got à wrong one. Cassini is à super superstrong perfume.. So sorry it happened 2 times even!

What in the world!?!?! Here I am opening another bottle of EDP from a supposedly very reputable seller....this time it does leave a sheen on the skin and no alcoholic smell, but I can barely smell anything! Then I see these 2 huge red flags: #1. the sticker on the bottom of the 1.7 oz bottle says 4 ml....not good, unless Americans don't know what they are doing anymore. #2. No Cassini word on the side of the bottle. The bottom line is I really doubt it was made to be smelled by jamming your nose into your wrist. I have one tyny spray of Diva on me, and at least 6 sprays ofCassini all over, and all I can smell is Diva.
I hope I am not losing my mind, but I am giving up on this one. Really, sweatshops in China should spend more time making fake Chanel and Light Blue, they won't make much money on this one off people like me.
Maybe that's why so many negative reviews, because althouh week, it does smell pretty crappy. One more seller is on my black list.

This is one of the very first bottles I got and it was a gift. I'd never heard of it but I didn't care. All perfume gifts are welcome with me :-)

And I can still remember what I thought straight away after using it: This smells like old-fashioned candy. The kind of candy I used to love as a kid. And that's not bad at all :-)

I would never think in a million years that someone would make counterfeit Cassini ( it's not like people are lining up for it), but the fakes are out there. Shipping one back today, which was supposed to be a tester. and the seller is jumping out of his pants trying to hush it down. So far can't write anything constructive because all i got was a blast of alcohol and some nasty residue. As soon as I get my refund will repurchase again from Fragrancenet.
Hate this kind of headache but it happens from time to time.

The opening is sweet like sugar laced with honey
dries with a nuances of fruit of peach and freesia
to finish the top layer of this fragrance then turns
a bit deeper with leather a tar like opening but seems to fade due to the presence of Tuberose,
Tuberose is a hit and go with me i love Amarige
that is devoted to the flower but with Cassini it's
too cloying and drowns out the other notes Cassini
is a typical 80's Powerhouse elaborate and overbearing but this is'nt my favorite it does
nothing for me.

I totally agree with Action. This is a masterpiece! It's sillage and long life are excellent. I want a big bottle but it is a bit expensive. I just really do not understand scents being dated; clothing which is visual, yes, scents, no. Are fresh baked cookies any less fragrant because you first smelled them as a child?

This is a classic!


Just ordered that big bottle of EDP.

This is such an amazing fragrance! A real DIVA!!
I would recommend to buy this where it's still available. Before it becomes just as expensive as the Black Tie Cassini!

this is a lovely perfume on me the smell lasts an lasts,i also had the bath an body lotion an they are all really good

One of the most beautiful perfumes ever made. I always have several in stock, because I never want to run out of it! I receive so many compliments when I wear this one.

oleg cassini starts out soft and floral,maybe orangeflower and gardenias, which I love, but it it doesn't stay floral. After a while it smells gummy, sort of like glue. It also did not last very long on me. While the perfume was not good on me, the bottle is very nice to look at.
