Cassius vs Carlisle

Cassius follows Carlisle's apple-and-nutmeg opening into rose and tonka. Vanilla and patchouli also connect the drydowns. The shared structure makes it a possible alternative, but the notes don't establish whether it has the original's resinous depth or how its sweetness develops on skin.
