Christopher DiCas Le Parfum Christopher DiCas
by Christopher Dicas
Christopher DiCas Le Parfum is a woody aromatic cologne with a strong initial burst of lavender, mastic, and citrus notes, giving it a distinctive fresh and herbal character. The fragrance evolves into a complex blend of sweet woodiness, balsamic amber, and warm spices, with notable contributions from cardamom, ginger, sandalwood, and tobacco, creating a mature, barbershop-like feel. It has a surprising level of sweetness, particularly from cashmere wood and subtle caramel notes, balancing the sharpness of the green aromatics and musky dryness. The sillage is strong and this fragrance performs best during cooler months, especially spring and autumn, and is well-suited for evening wear. Despite some claims of exceptional longevity, many users report moderate to weak performance, with the scent fading quickly and rarely lasting beyond a few hours. The overall impression leans toward a refined, bold fougere with Mediterranean inspiration, best appreciated when worn in a controlled, intentional manner.
