Mongolian Cashmere

Man, This fragrance smells absolutely GORGEOUS (NOW)! Initially I was super dissapointed with the extremely faint smell and atrocious performance Mongolian Cashmere had and thought that maybe id recieved a fake bc I hear roumers that fakes are in circulation. Thing is Ive been here before where a fragrance may start off extremely weak, but after introducing air into the bottles, waiting a couple days, weeks or even months some fragrance can drastically change, and thus was the case with Mongolian Cashmere! This fragrance now has above average performance and much more rich and complex after Maturing for nearly 2 months. Ya get a clear and present Rose, slight powdery nuances and this amazingly suptle, very realistic suede/leather that really does smell like a brand new leather wallet or purse, yet the Suede meets the Rose and Amber halfway and doesn't over power any of the other notes. Its truley sorta crazy how much this scent has changed and intensified. Initially Id get maybe 2 to 3 hours of a nice, but tookway too faint, watery rose with ambery touches and that was it! Well NOW nearly 2 months later the Suede/Leather is front and center and is unmistakable, the ambery accord is also stronger and the scent just smells "Thicker." Mongolian Cashmere smells super unique, is ABSOLUTELY "Unisex" and has good "above average performance" with moderate sillage, although its not over-powering or cloying! Also I was trynna figure out why I was getting some sort of slight "Berry note" and read that Pink Pepper can give a slight "berry nuance" and it certainly does it here. Dunhills - Mongolian Cashmere is an AMAZING, very unique fragrance which deserves a 9 out of 10 in my book and although waiting nearly 2 moths for it to improve, it is SOOO worth the wait! BEAUTIFUL!

***3rd Update*** Yeah, so Ive sorta become OBSESSED with Mongolian Cashmere as anyone can see from the "Updated, multiple reviews!" LOL! Thing is that I dont really wear any one of my frags many day in a row as I have quite a bit and so I try to rotate between them, and so each friggin' time I come back to this scent, I notice something different! Its odd bc this scent is somewhat linear, but today Im getting an unmistakable "Red Berry and hyper-realistic Suede with hints of Rose." Dunhill's - Mongolian Cashmere has just come such a looong way as far as the over-all performance and the actual scent itself since Id first purchased/spritzed my brand-new bottle about a year ago that its kinds CA-RAZY honestly! Anyhow, yeah! I just fall more and more in love with this whacky "Niche Level" Scent" each time I wear it and then I feel inspired to leave a little "Shout out" to this beautiful thang every time! I really do Highly recommended Mongolian Cashmere, just with the caveat that Maturation for a few months is an absolute MUST for this dna to reach its full potential, but MY GOODNESS is it totally worth it! Again, CHEERS and thanks for taking the time to whomever read this!🫡

Oh man...another one and what a scent! Straight forward Acqua di Parma Leather. Warm, exclusive, soapy, slightly floral and more woody, and the impression will get you a kind of unidentifiable sweet leather. Very wearable in the winter half of the year, meaning late September through to March. Fills room quite fast in the beginning and lingers. You may get comment on smelling good, although you yourself do not feel the scent anymore. For some, clearly, this will be nauseating, because it is not by any means a fresh scent. This is a relaxing scent for a late afternoon in your apartment with sun shining in and you with your friend or a partner or a family having a relaxing moment, just casually talking or playing something or streaming your reality show on your screen. Longevity is good for 6 hours, which takes you through either afternoon or an evening. May work also as an scent for work and even a hike or a fishing trip, if you into that stuff.It is a unisex fragrance, although I understand the feminine leaning. To me, I wear it with confidence as a straight man enjoying the relaxing mood it creates, even if you have been stressed upfront. Just love it!

Distinct fragrance - a soft suede with rose and floral overlay. Yes the top is bit mandarin orange and spice, but immediately to my nose the rose (and maybe orris - but really never put my nose to it separately so can't claim to know its fragrance) comes out. I am surprised no one mentioned it, but to me the mid has the strong soft creamy rose like the old ponds cold cream my mother used to use. Its a divine scent to me but some might thing it is feminine. Slowly the suede leather comes in - maybe just a touch of musk and amber to keep it a soft leather rather a distinct note. The florals persist rather than evaporate which makes this a unique leather scent. Not an overly complicated scent, but you will smell good and to me, that is the whole point. Well blended as are all the Signature bottles. The quality shows, esp when you compare to a lot of cheap ME clones. a 8.5 / 10

After a few days of wearing, I realized this is very similar to Afro Leather by Maison Alhamba and so maybe also African Leather. The notes and drydown are very similar - except AL is bit more dry with vertiver and bergamont, whereas Mongolian Cashmere has a sweet floral top note that stays for hours from the rose and geranium. I much, much prefer the Mongolian Cashmere. It is a sexier perfume than Afro Leather which though enjoyable as a dry, rough type of leather , it is not as appealing as the Mongolian Cashmere. I am going to get a bottle or two before they disapper.
