Jeanne Arthes Cassandra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006. Cassandra opens with Fruity Notes and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Musk. Jeanne Arthes's Cassandra carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This budget-friendly scent punches well above its weight, delivering a classic aldehydic floral profile that's been likened to much pricier, iconic perfumes. It's a clean, soapy, vintage-leaning gem, but beware - some find it a bit too old-fashioned.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date Formal

Its clean, soapy aldehydic nature makes it fairly versatile, suitable for casual wear or even the office if applied lightly. However, the vintage, powdery feel might not be everyone's choice for a modern date night, and it's definitely not for sport.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Cassandra bursts open with a bright, sparkling aldehydes and a touch of sweet fruit, quickly settling into a heart of rich, velvety rose and creamy ylang-ylang. The florality is clean and soapy, drying down to a soft, warm base of woody notes and comforting musk. It evokes a sense of well-groomed elegance, a clean embrace of a bygone era.
