Angela Flanders Caspian is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1987. Caspian opens with Bergamot and Ozonic Notes, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Angela Flanders's Caspian carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A classic chypre with fresh ozonic top notes over a warm heart, resting on oak moss and smoky vetiver. The Eau de Toilette is the lighter concentration, and the more wearable of the two in warm weather.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

The opening is fresh and faintly ozonic, which is an unusual way into a chypre and gives it a cleaner start than the genre normally allows. The heart is warm and rounded, and the base does the real work: oak moss and smoky vetiver, the mossy-earthy structure that defines a chypre. Angela Flanders bottles this scent at two strengths. The Eau de Toilette is the lighter of the two: the brand's own guidance is that the Eau de Toilette is for applying more liberally and more often, while the Eau de Parfum is for people who spray less frequently and want greater longevity. The composition is the same; what changes is how long it stays and how far it carries. True chypres have become rare since oak moss restrictions tightened, so a house still building them is worth noting. Caspian dates from 1987 and reads of that era in the best sense, closer to the classic mossy structures than to anything current.
