- Bunny litter Review by Nic
-
Rating I don't know if i got a bad batch or what. I'm not getting any of the powdery sweetness that I know from smelling fresh acacia growing up. I diluted it all the way to 0.1% and still, all I can smell is my bunny litter box. Notes of hay and "aged" bunny pee. Musty and not so pleasant.(Posted on 3/27/2017)
- Sugar Spun Sweetness! Review by MD
-
Rating Been looking for the right words to describe what I smell and feel about this lovely new treat! First time trying Cassie Absolute, but this is somehow.. familiar! Down in Arizona grows a lovely tree called a Velvet Mesquite. The blossoms look almost the same, fuzzy Pom Pom like but elongated and cyclindrical vs orb like and spherical. I diluted this Cassie to 10% and just love it! I wholeheartedly agree with Rebecca's comment about a Tack Shed! Although, sniffing it from the 10% bottle, I first smell SWEETNESS! This is a dusky sweetness very much, to me, like COTTON CANDY! Or reminds me of such, this top fades and lets loose a woody aspect I find similar to a ply wood or saw dust nature. Some animal feed, and a very soft leathery texture. This leather has a fine wax dry out beneath it. I'd also like to add that after the cotton candy crown and before the equestrian musk notes is a fine cucumber essence, wet earth and even fresh clean wet hair! Very sensual in the way of clean skin, and sweaty like someone who has a super fruity diet, dried fruits, honey, even eating florals. It smells like a being, and I like what they're eating(Posted on 2/18/2017)

I tried to make an alcohol tincture of the mesquite blossoms only to find out a year later that I can just buy Cassie absolute and it's much fresher smelling.
- When I imagine the Old West Review by Rebecca
-
Rating I can't quit smelling my Cassie sample. It really is fascinating and addictive; I've learned that my mouth waters when a scent really strikes a chord with me, doesn't matter if it is a gourmand note or not. It's hard to believe this little nugget of visceral delight is from a FLOWER. At once I feel transported to--of all places--a tack shed, in a very, very good way: leather saddle, hay, feed, dust, even a bit of horsiness (which I happen to love.) And definitely sweat....oh, the sweat! Animalic in the purest sense of something being fleshy, alive, and vital and pulsing. My partner called it "meaty," followed by "Mmmm." My sister called it "globby," which does seem to describe both its viscosity and the nature of its slow, sort of swaggering aroma. I combined it with some tobacco absolute to conjure Old West, Annie Oakley type feelings.(Posted on 5/5/2016)
- surprising Review by Lena
-
Rating This absolute was surprising to me. It does indeed have a sweet, powdery finish and the animal/sexy smell other reviews mentioned is very obvious and strong, undiluted it reminds me of wet dog. Don't let that deter you though. If you are familiar with some of the overly chemical/cloyingly sweet perfumes that certain underwear retailers sell, this seems to be like the natural perfume note that they were attempting and failed to make. I think in the right blend it could add a very sensual note.(Posted on 3/17/2015)
- Naughty Review by derrick
-
Rating I have read elsewhere that cassie has a "naughty" tone to it. I took this with a grain of salt, but when I experienced it for myself I agreed wholeheartedly. In addition to the green, powdery, syrupy tones, it possesses a dark, spicy, sinful, animalic quality to it that would work very well in erotic or 'skanky' blends. However, a little of this stuff can go a long way and can be overpowering or off-putting if used too strongly.(Posted on 2/15/2015)
- Super Nice. Review by I.D. Adam
-
Rating BShea is spot on with his olfactory notes on this. Really complex and beautiful especially with powdery notes it brings. I made a base accord with Eden's Oakmoss abs. and some Vetiver and the result was amazing.(Posted on 12/24/2014)
- Dry, green, powdery floral Review by BShea
-
Rating This cassie absolute is a deep golden color and pourable. The odor is a dry, green, powdery floral with an animalic, leather like undertone and hints of soft wood. This is actually a base note, so it is wonderful to add a floral quality to base notes of perfumes.(Posted on 7/3/2013)
- Great quality and easy to use... Review by Kyara
-
Rating A fantastic fixative, Cassie Absolute adds a powdery sweetness to any blend. Unlike other Cassie Absolutes I have, this one is pourable and is easy to use. A tiny bit goes a long way!(Posted on 2/14/2013)
