Casran
by Chopard
Casran by Chopard is a rich, gourmand fragrance with a complex evolution that begins with bright citrus and spicy aromatic notes—yuzu, bergamot, cardamom, coriander, and rum—giving it a fresh, boozy character. As it settles, it develops into a soft, sweet, and floral-ambered heart with hints of lavender, dark chocolate, dried fruits, and licorice, creating a velvety, exotic drydown. Its base of sandalwood, benzoin, incense, oakmoss, and vanilla adds depth, warmth, and long-lasting presence. The fragrance is widely regarded as unisex, with its smooth blend of sweet, woody, and spicy accords making it wearable across genders, especially during autumn and winter, and ideal for evening wear or intimate occasions. Despite being discontinued, it is remembered for its originality, longevity (lasting moderately to very long), and the unique, memorable presence it once offered.
