This is from a very old bottle of eau de toilette of Casaque with a solid shining-gold-tone impressed label:
Spicy opening with citruses, drying down to honeysuckle and hyacinth and other flowers that I cannot identify, with a background of a little sandalwood and civet.
This edt is not powdery but refreshing – I love it and will hunt for another when this supply begins to run out!

The version I had was Jean D’Albret BUT it was sold at the Orlane counter, I would have purchased it in the mid to late ’70’s. This is the perfume of my 20’s. I fell in love with the bottle in the blue box, the overwhelming sweetness and lush floral bouquet, the delicate softness and its femininity. What fragrance could have been prettier than this one, a rose garden drenched with rain…I was in love with this, the scent of it sent me into raptures!
As I got older I abandoned this as a young fragrance, and will regret forever not having stockpiled a few boxes for later in life.
I found one on eBay which is the real thing (at around 10 times what I would have paid in the ’70’s) and I am using it very sparingly.
Don’t bother with the Long lost version, you’ll probably find the Fragranceshop has a half decent replica including their dry oil body spray and shower gel. I layer these products and then finish off with a dab of the real thing, and voila, I’m transported to the possibilities and magic of my youth!

This was for first scent as thirteen year old. Soft, floral, powdery, modest.

Thank you very much for adding this, the original Casaque. Back in the seventies, it was one of my first pure perfumes, and I’d give anything to smell it again. It was the most beautiful powder-based floral scent I’ve ever encountered, completely unique and memorable but still very much an understated, womanly classic. I have racked my brains to come up with something current that is similar, but this was one of a kind. If you love rich, powdery ultra-feminine vintage florals and ever come across a bottle of pure perfume, grab it immediately!
