Casbah vs. Copal de Terre

Casbah

Copal de Terre

The angelica gives Casbah a green, almost bitter edge that makes the smoke actually interesting. You notice it in the opening, where the sharp herb cuts through the spice, and you notice it later.Casbah

Le Monde Gourmand does something unexpected here, less sweet, more ceremonial. Copal as a main note is rare in mainstream perfumery. Smoke and warm vanilla instead of sugar and cream.Copal de Terre
