The Scoop

Cassius captures the citrus-forward opening and elegant floral heart of Carlisle quite well, delivering a similar aromatic profile with the woody-patchouli drydown. The clone maintains the violet-jasmine balance effectively, though the guaiac wood character may read slightly softer in the base, resulting in a marginally less complex finish.

Key Differences

Cassius performs comparably in projection and longevity but may lack the subtle spice complexity of the original's cardamom-driven top. The drydown tends to be slightly warmer in the clone, with reduced woody depth compared to Carlisle's refined guaiac wood signature.

What wearers say

“Love this fragrance, especially for $17. Takes a good month to macerate, any time less than that and you still get a strong alcohol blast off the top and not as "rich" of a dry down, a month later though.. perfection. My only critique would be that it has good longevity but the projection really dies down after the first 30 mins to an hour.. but lasts at least 6-8 hours on skin (may continue to improve with time as it continues to macerate). Sweet, rich, dark, sophisticated. Dark knight type of smell. Love it.”

“This is not a clone, this literally IS Carlisle.I haven't smelled a better clone of a popular fragrance yet. Unreal.The only difference is that the original lasts longer, but smell-wise I can't tell the difference.Cassius' availability is very limited, though. I bought both of my bottles in Germany, but I can't get it in my country. I hope this changes soon.”

“It’s a great fragrance. Lasts long and has a pretty good projection. It’s really masculine. To my nose it smells like a Christmas tree but in a good way. Definitely a winter and late autumn fragrance. I can smell this on clothes even days later.”
