This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For patchouli lovers, it's a deep, boozy, sexy vanilla dream; for others, it's a medicinal nightmare. Definitely not a blind buy.
A polarizing but ultimately successful tribute, Cassius delivers massive performance and a distinctive patchouli-vanilla punch at an unbeatable price. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent profile, but for those who love it, it's an absolute beast, almost identical to its niche inspiration.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its 'nuclear' projection and strong sillage mentioned by many, Cassius is best reserved for situations where it can truly shine without overpowering. It's too bold for the office and completely unsuitable for sport, but its luxurious, confident character makes it ideal for dates and cooler-weather formal events, as well as some evening casual wear.
