Paul Sebastian Casual is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995. Casual opens with Citrus, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Fruity Notes, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Tuberose, Heliotrope, and Tonka Bean. Paul Sebastian's Casual carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a clean, soapy floral that's either 'spring in a bottle' or 'dated bathroom freshener', depending on who you ask. It's affordable, versatile, and generally well-loved for its fresh-out-the-shower vibe, but some find it too sharp or synthetic.

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.

About

Casual opens with a bright burst of citrus and delicate lily of the valley, quickly joined by classic rose and sweet jasmine, giving it a decidedly clean, fresh character. The heart unfurls with fruity notes and creamy ylang-ylang, softened by cyclamen. It settles into a comforting base of lush tuberose, powdery heliotrope, and a hint of warm tonka bean, leaving a soft, 'just-showered' trail.
