Review of Cašmir Eau de Parfum by aad de gids

Casmir Chopard. this is another perfume I knew well from 1992, I loved it for its soft orientalism and added chicness. as I bought it a couple of months ago, in 'sales', as it for years and years still is, at first I thought, when smelling the first sniff: oh reformulated beyond control. and yet this is the fourth or fifth perfume of which I can fully say: it still is exquisite and splendid as it also were in 1992. I think Chopard is a major Perfume House as well as a Haute Joaillerier. meaning that it has enough financial back-up to invest in the continuation of its perfumes. but I think it is a hell of a lot more complicated than that. this (new) perfume is such soft, yet present, fabulous perfume with Trôpicalismú, a lingering dream around your being. then I think Chopard can still have it in its portfolio. but some perfumes are going into a grey zone. and keep selling there for decades. I have a feeling Chopard gets 'Royalties'. but this secundary and tertiairy market does have its own laws. there are perfumes that thrive in these netherzones. that makes me wonder if it is still Chopard who produces them, or allotted the production to some other factories. because it is an intricate flacon, the 'mould' is made (which costs fortunes) and then once there was a factory which produced the 'Jus' and Glassworks and Packagings. we all have read here or there that you pay for the name, the secundary merchandizing, the Inbetween factors. the perfume itself, they write then, is not so expensive once the formula is settled. so it is complicated and I have here only tipped the top of the Iceberg. but whatever the case, another stunning perfume which mysteriously beheld (in my opinion) its initial mystique and makes the Fakhir Fiole as promising as it was, and still is.
