J. Casanova is a fascinating herbal aromatic with a subtle aquatic and fresh touch that adds soapy nuances and very soft wood. Its performance is modest, yet it doesn’t detract from its distinctly Italian elegance and cleanliness. As described, it seems like an avant-garde fragrance for its time (could a 1981 scent feature aquatic notes?). The creator was an Arab, Sheikh Mahmood Saeed, who aimed to incorporate cultural influences, which is why frankincense appears in the listed notes. However, as Jerry Drake kindly shared with me, the frankincense isn’t detectable here. It also lacks the projection discussed elsewhere. One hypothesis to resolve these inconsistencies is that J. Casanova was reformulated, resulting in two versions: the spiced Arab original and the modern Italian aromatic version, which I believe is the one I’m testing. Either way, it’s a highly appreciable fragrance.

Pleasant and non-invasive aroma with well-defined citrus and floral notes. I detect spices, tangerine, and sandalwood, though the frankincense goes unnoticed. On my skin, it’s soft with a somewhat short duration, as I’m testing a sample and don’t know its vintage. I like it because, despite not being powerful, the ingredient blend is well-balanced; perhaps applying it more generously would improve it. It’s hard to find, so if you come across a sample, I recommend trying it: it’s attractive and aromatically excellent. It would be an almost certain purchase if it had more sillage.

A pleasant, non-invasive scent where citrus and florals are clearly noticeable. Among the listed notes are spices, tangerine, sandalwood, and frankincense, though I don’t really detect the latter. On my skin, it has soft projection and a slightly short runtime; I’m testing a sample and honestly don’t know the year. I like the perfume—it’s not potent, but the ingredient combination works well, maybe applying it more strongly would enhance it… It’s hard to come by, so if you find a sample, I recommend giving it a try; it’s definitely appealing and aromatically good. It would be worth testing the early versions; with more sillage, it would become an almost guaranteed buy.
