I love tocade. And also hate the bottle. My grandmother wore it for a while and the sweet ambery warmth invokes fond memories. Managed to collect two vintage bottles where the vanilin turned black from age and they are unmatched. The reformulation is pretty good but the vintage version is somehow warmer and more round. Lovely to see a perfume head that also likes to explore older fragrances.
That Skin musk I agree is one of the best fragrances ever made I feel it’s terribly underrated in the online fragrance community! So glad to see it getting some love. I’d be interested in a video where you talk about this and similar ones I know of wild musk by coty but I think the skin musk is just a richer better one!! Take care 😉
I think they're the same style of slightly vintage, powdery, ambery vanilla's but they're very different in terms of the actual scent!. Lemon & rose vs peach & ylang ylang basically - Very different fruits and florals! Casmir is more challenging I think but it needs time to sit and settle after you first spray it ;)
Yes your description of Tocade is spot on. It does remind me of Turkish delight. Its definitely similar to Casmir!
It really is!
The way you talk about these oh wow, I just want to go sniff the bottles of my collection, and read about them. You are so inspiring - thank you 💗
such a lovely comment, thank you! ☺️

I wonder if the older version would be too strong for me?!
I recently tried Tocade and Casmir. Beautiful scent, but they definitely have that vintage vibe 🥰
They really do! Very much winter warmers for me (as with most vintage smelling scents!)

I have been debating on adding either Casmir or Tocade to my collection. Do I need them both? I'd welcome some opinions 😊

@skinscentsforfusspots Thank you so much for your input! Maybe I do need them both after all!
