Swiss Arabian Casablanca is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Casablanca opens with Wine Grape and Apple, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Patchouli, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Suede, Musk, Amber, and Peru Balsam. Swiss Arabian's Casablanca carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A beast-mode fruity caramel that's truly polarising: some find it a gorgeous, addictive scent, others get a synthetic, headache-inducing mess. Be warned, it often needs serious maceration.

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.

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:

Casablanca's strong projection and longevity, combined with its sweet, warm nature, make it less ideal for office wear but perfect for dates and evening events. It's versatile enough for casual autumn and winter outings, though its intensity might be too much for formal settings if oversprayed.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Myroxylon Balsamum Pereirae Balsam Extract from Peru Balsam
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

This opens with a blast of crisp apple and rich wine grapes, immediately hitting with a sweet, almost boozy fruitiness. As it settles, a smooth caramel accord takes centre stage, woven with soft, powdery iris and earthy patchouli. The dry down introduces a sensual suede and warm amber, cushioned by a balsamic musk that adds depth and sophistication.
