Botanical name Acacia farnesiana
A rare and special treat for the perfumers among us! Reminiscent of Mimosa (which is, botanically speaking, Cassie's nearest cousin) . Cassie is a delightfully fresh, sweet floral note. A complex aroma that Burfield describes as "fresh, somewhat green, sweet floral with powdery-balsamic notes. To my nose it has a sweet almost honeyed note, as well.
Guenther says that it "adds a unique warmth and woody-floral note" to high-cost perfumes, and notes that it should be used in very low proportions. Like Mimosa, it should add a wonderfully natural note to synthetic blends, as well as softening and "rounding" other blends.
Although its use is strictly in perfumery, with no history of therapeutic uses, some sources indicate that emotionally, Cassie may be helpful in dealing with stress and depression, that it lifts the spirits, reduces fears, and encourages communication.
