The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1978 by L'Artisan Parfumeur, Cascarille is an aromatic and spicy fragrance created by Jean-Francois Laporte. The composition opens with a vibrant blend of citrus notes that are immediately fresh and invigorating, leading into a heart of cinnamon and clove that adds warmth and depth. This contrast between the zesty top notes and the warm spices creates a dynamic interplay that keeps Cascarille engaging throughout its wear.
Apply Cascarille to pulse points for a subtle warmth that builds over time. The top notes are bright and short-lived, so a second application after about two hours can help maintain its vibrancy.
