Cassiopea
Cassiopea opens with a brief flash of lemon that quickly recedes, making way for a lily of the valley heart that feels crisp and slightly soapy, like fresh linen dried outdoors.

By the editors · 2 min readCassiopea opens with a brief flash of lemon that quickly recedes, making way for a lily of the valley heart that feels crisp and slightly soapy, like fresh linen dried outdoors. The white floral note never grows indolic or heavy—instead, it maintains a clean, almost transparent quality throughout the wear.
As it settles, tonka bean and sandalwood create a soft, sweetened base that feels comfortable rather than bold. The musk adds a subtle skin-like warmth without becoming animalic. The composition stays close, projecting modestly, and the transitions feel smooth rather than dramatically staged.
This is a fragrance for someone seeking an uncomplicated white floral with gentle woody-sweet support. It evokes springtime simplicity and works well in professional settings or quiet daily wear. The overall effect is polite and approachable, neither challenging nor particularly memorable, but pleasant in its restraint.
