CASHMERE MIST opens a bit acridly, to my nose--apparently this is intended, as the only top note listed is bergamot--which is a rather sharp citrus. CM then moves into strange and uncharted territory. at first, there is a hint of something like melon or bubblegum, but it stays just out of reach, which is just as well, as i don’t like sweet perfumes and a true melon note would likely be a deal-breaker. i think this phase has something to do with the way the bergamot reacts with the slightly sweet vanilla. there’s also an opening funkiness which i think is the suede figuring itself out. this is definitely one of those perfumes which takes an hour or two to come together and reveal its true glory. but it’s also one of the ones which is most certainly worth waiting for. This perfume has been a liar to me. I smelled it in the store and was hooked, it smelled wonderful! Fresh! clean! I fell into the devil's schemes and spent my precious few dollars on this ugly beast. (Even the bottle looked suspicious but i was bewitched) There was a tester and one fragrance to buy right behind it. I just didn't have the money today (low apprentice income). If I didn't have extremely dry skin and strictly had to prioritize 2x 500ml body lotion, I would've taken Cashmere Mist home with me.

Things I don't get from this juice Powder, vanilla (which to me always smells of damp), milk or almonds. The musk is more dark civet than white (which kills my sense of smell almost immediately) and strangely this smells different on my wrist compared to behind my ears where it is delightfully elegant:floral and fresh and like nothing I've smelt before... I love the combination of vanilla, jasmine, and cashmere wood in the VS linear CASHMERE, so clearly those are not the culprits, nor is the combination of the three (sometimes individual notes are beautiful but when mixed together they become like the protagonists of IN COLD BLOOD!). A sensual musky powdery leather that delights my nose and makes me feel like I'm wrapped up in the softest Cashmere shawl.The original DK was heavy with spices and suade. Customers thought it was too heavy and masculine, it was not an easy sell. Then the body products came about and ironically there were a huge success. They were marketed emphasizing the fact only a few notes from the original DK were used, and they were more for the bath than actual layering products. I remember thinking they smelled so good, they should make a perfume to match. A comforting, creamy. sensual cloud of goodness. My mom wore CM when I was growing up and now, as I’ve emerged into adulthood, I’ve grown to love it too. It makes me happy to know so many others appreciate its beauty. Cashmere Mist is a clean, bubble bath kind of scent that some might not find interesting enough. However, if you keep in mind the minimal aesthetic of Donna Karan's clothing style, Cashmere Mist matches it perfectly. It is clean and minimalistic. Clean without cucumber or water melon. Clean in a sense of shower gel and body lotion/body cream type of smell. It is woody and musky in addition. Very comfortable, cozy, close to skin type of scent. I do not smell much florals, maybe only a hint in the opening, all I smell is woody musk. Not sweet. I quess I had no idea how much I like this type of scents. I think it is good in all these cases you want to wear a perfume and not supposed to or situation not allows to wear one, such like close spaces with lots of people, job interviews, hospitals or such. You smell like you had a shower and scentless body lotion, not more. At the same time you smell very good and it lasts very long. A hint of sandalwood, very slight vanilla and softest suede. And musk. I love it. To try for lovers of woody musk and subtle scents. Cashmere Mist is neither too floral, too powdery, too vanillary or too creamy. It's a nicely balanced blend, pleasing to almost every nose. It is true that there are many scents out there that are similar to Cashmere Mist, however I do still refer to this fragrance as being one of a kind.

By further process of elimination, I deduce that what I dislike about this fragrance, which clearly aspires to be a skin scent, is not the musk, nor the amber, nor the sandalwood, all of which I appreciate in many other perfumes. This is VERY nice! Sensual is the perfect word to describe it. It's sweet, creamy, and musky, without being bawdy at all.CM longevity is great. Lots of scents fade fast on me but I can smell this lingering hours after application. Evolves beautifully on the skin.

I first smelled this in Vanity Fair a few years ago and I loved it so much, unfortunately I had a hard time finding this, but my sister somehow found it and gave it to me for Christmas this year. It smells of vanilla and cashmere with a delicious hint of Amber.Creation Consumer Finance Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Register no. 311518). I don't find this too sweet or too floral, the main note I get is suede which I love. The funny thing is that I don't really like the suede note in any other perfume but I adore it in Cashmere Mist. Cashmere mist is warm,smooth,cozy and clean.I doubt that -25 girls of nowadays would appreciate it. Does anyone know if this has gone through reformulations? I have tried this a few times throughout the years and never liked it at all. I recently received a vintage bottle and like it a great deal. Last night, nothing else would do. I am starting to think the fragrance has simply grown on me rather than it being a different version than before.
