The take

What works

  • Cassie flower is one of perfumery's most underused ingredients — honey-animalic and extraordinary
  • Ropion's construction is technically flawless — every layer reveals something new
  • Mimosa base gives it a warmth and radiance that lasts all day

Trade-offs

  • Cassie's animalic facets are not for everyone — this is a challenging perfume
  • Frederic Malle pricing is steep even by niche standards
