After a long time of curiosity about Casmir I got a sample of it. ½ hour later I purchased a huge bottle!
I don't get much of the fruit in the opening, which is okay with me as peach is risky and sometimes gets cloying to me.
The heart is simply wonderful imo. I get a lot of cinnamon and lots of other spices as well, though they're not listed. Generally a sweet scent, but not the modern candy/cake/foody kind which I'm not fond of. The drydown doesn't have that slightly nauseating quality that I've experienced so often. Casmir develops very slowly, I really get to enjoy it for hours. Even long-lasting perfumes tend to reach the drydown phase too soon - but not Casmir.
The sillage is - how should I put it - surprising. When I think it's turned into a skin scent, I suddenly get whiffs out of nowhere. I don't even have to get warm the get the sudden whiffs. I reapplied once when I tried it, but I realised I wouldn't have had to do that. Amazing.
The longevity is just fantastic. Sometimes (not always) it lasts almost 24 hours on me. I think I've experienced that with maybe 3 perfumes in my life, if not even fewer.
Even though I have a 100ml bottle, I really have to hold myself back from getting 10 backups. That would be crazy..
I love it. So classy, soft yet strong, spicy yet tender.

Wow. This bomb is louder than Mugler's Angel!
I remember the first time I tried it. Just a couple of small spritzes and I was in a cloud all day. It wouldn't go away either. I wore it, I woke up in it, I smelled it after shower still. That hardly ever happens to me.
This is chocolate. Rich, thick, spicy dark chocolate, the kind that holds 85% pure cocoa. You know what I mean?
Not to mention the patchouli which is almost as loud and forward as the chocolate. To my nose the vanilla binds it all together very elegantly.
It's very linear to me, the chocolate/patchouli is very much in front for the first... can I say 18 hours? In the late drydown the vanilla takes over, but not entirely.
I love this one. I don't like gourmand scents very much (especially not candy-ish), but this is just so delicious, round, smooth and spicy. True liquid dark chocolate. I think it would have been nauseating if the patchouli had been less prominent actually.
I can't figure out the occasions it would be suitable for. Dinner out? No. It would overpower any dish except chocolate mousse and probably even that too. Work? No. There's no way you can use little enough to keep this one discreet. And I could go on. Otoh, life is more than work and dinners out! I'll wear it when I'm in the killer mode and don't give a damn about others' sufferings!
This one will stay in my collection.

Thick, huge, sweet flowerbomb! I seem to get a peachy note too, or apricot (I can't tell those apart). The fruit is mostly directly from the bottle, on skin it's definitely flowers. To me the bergamot comes out after this burst when the sweetness vanishes - over the first ½ hour or so. Hereafter the benzion and especially neroli stand out. It turns sour-ish spicy. The civet is hardly detectable, but supports the other notes very well. This is not a dirty, animalistic, raw-sex perfume to my nose. It's "dressed" if you know what I mean. The formidable, rich mother-in-law, the exectutive that makes men pull out her chair for her without them even knowing they do it. It's a huge, shiny Mercedes with tinted windows. This is how it changes its personality over time. Definitely class!

White Musk is by far one of my best fragrances. What a pleasant surprise.
I liked it from first spritz. It's such a bright, flirty, warm, happy scent. Spicy, but more on the fresh side. I'd say it's good for any occasion and season, work, dinner out, cozy winter nights with blankets and hot cocoa, an outdoor hike.
"Good for anything" normally means boring and non-outstandig in my book, but not this time. The combination of wamth and freshness, softness and extroversion does the trick. It's not like anything else in my wardrobe.
It's quite linear to me until the last part of the drydown, but for once I don't mind that. It's so good all the way through.
The sillage is big for a cologne concentrate - actually it's big regardless of the concentration as I have a general problem with sillage. Only few perfumes project well on me.
Longevity is good too, 8 hours at least.
And the price is even better. It's unvelievable that such a good fragrance is available at such a ridiculous price!
All in all I can't think of one negative thing to say about White Musk. It's a real mood-lifter!

Womanity opens strong and sharp on me, but it quickly turns softer. The combination of figs and salt (salt water?) is very different and interesting. I sense another strong note that I can't really define.. It's controversial, but not at all as weird as I expected. Grass, wild nature comes to mind.
Somehow sophisticated, above all unusual. I like unusual.

I don't get the slightest resemblance to genitals at all. I don't get much sweetness (unsweet figs?). Any sweetness I get is in the drydown. No fish either, just the contrast between fig and salt.

This is one of the few that I didn't dare to blind buy, mostly because of the price. Luckily I found a bargain in my local shop (10 ml, $26).
I tried it 3 times on paper and twice on skin before I decided that I like it. Very polarized reviews almakes triggers my curiosity!
I wore it twice now alone at home. Will be interesting to see what my husband thinks of it.

I don't understand all the hate towards the bottle. I think it's beautiful and as unusual as the scent.
No cuteness here. It's sort of steampunk to me - actually I find the perfume steampunk-ish too (if there is such a thing).

I fully understand why it's a love it or hate it - if it's really unusual it's always like that, isn't it.

An amusing footnote: I was making a sample of Womanity and thought about all the rave, when I got an idea.
I went downstairs and made my DH smell the funnel I had just been using (he doesn't know womanity afaik) and asked him what it smelled like.
"hand soap, ordinary hand soap" was the answer!
Can it be any more different from the unwashed body parts so many others detect here? I don't think so, lol!
