Roger & Gallet Cassis Frénésie is a Cologne launched in 2017, created by Elise Bénat. Cassis Frénésie opens with Bergamot, Petitgrain, Pepper, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Cedar, Guaiac Wood, Lavender, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Buchu, Pine, Rose, and Galbanum. Roger & Gallet's Cassis Frénésie carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive but utterly unique scent that's often compared to high-end niche offerings, Cassis Frénésie delivers a bitter, green, and wonderfully natural take on blackcurrant. Some find its tomato leaf opening challenging, but those who 'get it' are fiercely loyal.

Scent Profile

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its natural and fresh character, make it well-suited for casual wear and even sport. It's too unique and potentially polarising for formal events, and its subtle nature might get lost on a date.

About

Cassis Frénésie opens with a pungent, almost challenging burst of greenness, where blackcurrant leaves blend with a peppery, tomato-leaf like accord, brightened by bergamot. As it settles, the heart reveals an aromatic core of lavender, geranium, and cedar, adding a sophisticated, slightly soapy quality. The drydown becomes softer, woody, and earthy, with subtle hints of pine and eucalyptus creating a serene, natural trail.
