Then the fruit sinks into powdery iris and earthy patchouli, and the whole thing ends on warm amber and vanilla. That is Swiss Arabian Essence of Casablanca, a 100ml extrait de parfum for men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind it is Isabel Gil Trujillo, a Master Perfumer at the Barcelona fragrance house Eurofragance. Here is how her composition smells, how strong it is, and one buying detail worth checking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSwiss Arabian ESSENCE OF CASABLANCA Fragrance Notes:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grapes, Apple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMiddle Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Orris, Patchouli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vanilla, Musk, Amber, Balsamic Notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEssence of Casablanca at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: extrait de parfum, 100ml.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade for\u003c\/strong\u003e: unisex. Perfumer: Isabel Gil Trujillo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut simply, the fruit sits on top, powder and earth fill the middle, and warm amber holds it all underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRed fruit, then iris and patchouli, then amber\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is juicy and bright. Apple gives a clean, crunchy sweetness, while grapes add a darker, almost wine-like depth. So it smells ripe rather than candied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen the mood changes. Orris, the dried root of the iris, brings a soft, powdery, slightly suede-like texture. Patchouli adds an earthy, chocolate-dark shade, which keeps the fruit grounded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally the base glows. Amber and balsam are warm and resinous, vanilla softens the edges, and musk makes it feel close to the skin. This is the stage that lingers on clothes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a fruity-woody amber. It moves from fresh fruit to soft powder to golden warmth, without turning heavy or sugary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExtrait or eau de parfum? Check the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwiss Arabian's own US and UAE stores sell Essence of Casablanca as an extrait de parfum. However, some listings, including one regional store, call it an eau de parfum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference matters. An extrait holds more perfume oil than an eau de parfum, so it usually feels richer and wears closer for longer. When you buy, look for “Extrait de Parfum” on the box and the full name, Essence of Casablanca.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe perfumer behind it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsabel Gil Trujillo joined Eurofragance as a perfumer's assistant more than two decades ago. After years in Barcelona and four years at the company's Singapore office, she was named Master Perfumer in January 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwiss Arabian credits her with Essence of Casablanca on its own product page. That matters for buyers. It means a named, senior perfumer built this composition, not an anonymous brief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEssence of Casablanca or Echoes of St. Moritz?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are Swiss Arabian extraits, and both open on apple. Yet they head in opposite directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEssence of Casablanca\u003c\/strong\u003e: apple and grape turn powdery and warm, with iris, patchouli and vanilla.

Cool and crisp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo pick Swiss Arabian Essence of Casablanca for warmth and softness, and Echoes for a fresher, mountain-air feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho should wear Swiss Arabian Essence of Casablanca\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwiss Arabian Essence of Casablanca suits someone who likes fruit with substance, apple and grape over something soft and woody. Because it is unisex and not too sweet, it works for men and women alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooler months bring out the amber best, along with evenings, dinners and the office in winter. Then in hot weather, one or two sprays are plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill, it is not for lovers of sharp citrus or pure florals. The iris and patchouli give it a powdery, earthy middle that fresh-scent fans may not enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SWISS ARABIAN","offers":[{"title":"2 ML","offer_id":57545577857402,"sku":null,"price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML","offer_id":57545577890170,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ML","offer_id":57545577922938,"sku":"6295124042768","price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/0891\/4541\/files\/essence-of-casablanca.jpg?v=1794252525","url":"https:\/\/zaoud.it\/fr\/products\/swiss-arabian-essence-of-casablanca-exdp","provider":"ZAOUD - Profumi Arabi di Nicchia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
