Kitten Fur

Like many other perfume-addicted cat lovers, I knew I was going to have to try this fragrance eventually, despite all the reviews stating that it smells nothing like real kittens. I completely agree with those reviews and don't expect any man-made perfume will ever truly capture a real cat's scent. But with that said, I'm always ready to discover new cat-inspired fragrances anyway, since that's how I developed a wider interest in perfume, and it sounded like a safe blind buy for vanilla musk fans like me. There's a slightly synthetic feel to it that's most noticeable when first sprayed, but I don't find it to be too much. This is a lovely, sweet, powdery musk infused with subtle vanilla- soft, sensual, comforting & cozy smelling. I'm quite glad I tried it. I agree with people who have compared it to Donna Karan's Cashmere Mist. It smells a lot like that to me too (at least, like the base notes of Cashmere Mist)- and for a literal fraction of the price. It's gorgeous on its own but also layers beautifully with my signature. This is the first Demeter fragrance I've ever tried, though I've been curious about their scents for years and will be exploring them more now! Their longevity seems often criticized, but to me, Kitten Fur's seems decent enough, especially on clothing, where it really clings! I'm finding it stands up to the longevity of some fragrances I've tested that are priced 10 times higher. This is a new love!

This scent is so intriguing because it's quite non-descript while still evocative of so many things. This nostalgic perfume is aptly named Kitten Fur, which perfectly describes it, yet it hearkens back to so much more. It's somewhat sweet like vanilla, light and powdery like baby powder, soft and musky. It smells like soapless soap, freshly shampooed fur, and a newborn baby—all at the same time. The scent is so vague but so specific at the time. Pretty genius if you ask me. Disclaimer: I got the oil roll-on, not the spray, so my experience may be a little different. But, with this scent and the other Demeter roll-ons I got, I noticed a similar residual smell among them. It's a kind of stale smell that I can only imagine is coming from the carrier oil since it smelled the same in multiple, vastly different scents. It wasn't super strong, like I could only get a whiff of it when smelling my wrists up close, but it was definitely there.

No doubt this is one of Demeter's best offerings. At first it smells gourmand to me; caramel and vanilla. But then it changes into something more unique. A rubber note emerges that reminds me of Bvlgari Black. It is completely unexpected but wholeheartedly welcomed. There is an intriguing dust note that rises to the surface after about five minutes. Underneath I smell that indescribable note that all Demeter Perfumes seem to have. It provides a crisp and clean dimension to this interesting fragrance. A person who likes cats, leather and caramel cake will like this. These aspects combine in a playful and mature way that would otherwise seem contradictory. If it were a person it would conjure joy and polite gossip. As much as I never thought I'd say it, I think this may be better than Bvlgari Black. On my skin it has a very similar rubber note, but it’s stronger.

It smells nothing like a cat, but it DOES smell nice and has a better skin scent than the "clean skin" skin scent they have. Essentially lovely and comforting. First time i had this i wore it to bed repeatedly and abused it until i ended up breaking the bottle. And then bought 3 extra backups which I'm currently using (frequently because i needed to calm down). I liked the concept of it all being comfy, skinny (skin like), musky, soft spicey, slightly fresh floral, slightly sweet and powdery all in a good balance. Somehow it comes off masculine leaning scent which i thought was crazyyy (it's crazy rare to find masculine skin scent out there, so this is basically ultra-rare). It has a short lifetime on skin but i still love it. It will be one of my best skin scent perfume until i find a proper replacement for the time being.

It’s said that cat lovers like the way their cats smell because their brains have been invaded by toxoplasmosis. Well, I’m one of them. I love picking up my cat and cuddling her, and even smelling the top of her head, as one does a baby. Cats have a smell - not ammonia or kitty litter or fish treats, but a baby-like smell with an animal muskiness. Now, does this smell exactly like my cat? Not quite. Does this feel like picking her up, pressing her soft fur against my face, and feeling her purring? Yes. Kitten Fur smells like baby powder, until you smell baby powder right next it. It has an almondy sweetness and a bit of that animalic muskiness. It’s cute without feeling juvenile. Smells great in the sunshine, and not too cloying in close quarters.

I finally bought this perfume because I was so intrigued by the range of reviews here. So, I'm not a cat person at all...I'm a dog person. That being said, I love this perfume. It reminds me of the way my best dog smells when she snuggles into me on the couch or nestles into her freshly washed blankets. It's a soft, comforting smell... but there is also an element of sexiness to it. To me it is a powdery-musky scent. I can't put my finger on it beyond that. This is another one where the longevity seems to depend on the day (probably my mood.) Definitely lasts longer sprayed on clothes, although I have gotten whiffs of it 3-4 hours after application on my skin on some days. One of my favorites from Demeter.

while it doesn't smell like actual kitten fur, I find it smells like the experience and comfort of cuddling with your cat on a sunny afternoon as you both drift off into a nap together. I have no idea how they captured an experience like that but I'm glad I go to smell this one. fortunately I don't get the baby wipe smell, to me it has the warmth of something like cinnamon but it doesn't smell like actual cinnamon either. I wish it was a little more musky like a cat but even if I was expecting an animalic vibe this is still a beautifully done fragrance in my opinion. the sillage and longevity are incredible considering it's Demeter, definitely getting a full bottle

I used to have a roll on perfume oil of this scent and just a second ago when going through some old cosmetica products I found it again! So happy because a few years back this was such a comfort scent for me. At that time I was used to sleeping next to my kitten every night. This scent, although very simple, brings me back to sleeping on the couch with Guup. Musky and with a hint of almond. A little powdery. To me, this scent smells exactly like the memory I have of my cats fur tickling my nose. :) (If anyone knows where to get the roll on perfume oil of this in Europe, shoot me a message. I'd like to have a back-up)

So many people say this is innacurate but I really love it , as someone who has four cats I can definitely smell the resemblance. It smells like it’s cold outside and you freshly washed a cashmere blanket and you pull it out of the dryer while it’s still warm. It’s starts like freshly washed blanket then faded into a light gingery peppery note and finally settles to a warm and slightly sweet skin musk. Since the mix of notes are so unique I can understand why some might not like it but to me it smells really great. It also lasts really long and has surprisingly good projection.

One of a few top favorites in my entire collection, honestly. To me, it actually does smell like burying your nose in a kitten's fur. It's a subtly sweet, soft musk. As some reviewers have mentioned, there's just the slightest touch of vanilla. I also own the original Abdul Kareem Egyptian musk oil, which I think resembles the understated beauty of this. So I spray Kitten Fur on top of it, and that's sort of become my signature scent for home. I have the Demeter Kitten Fur scent in shower gel and lotion too. It's all beautiful, very cuddly and comforting.

I bought this on a whim because I was intrigued by the novelty of smelling like kitten fur. Upon first spray I got a pleasant, albeit generic ‘man cologne’ smell, but when it settles on my skin a lovely powdery, slightly musky and sweet smell emerges that I absolutely adore! It’s definitely reminiscent of that ‘kitten smell’, soft, snuggly and comforting. This is my first Demeter/The Library of Fragrance perfume and I’m really impressed! Kitten Fur is a fun addition to my collection that I’ll be reaching for quite regularly.

This smells so so much like curve crush to me. It’s very dry powdery, lactonic, cinnamon and nutmeg- the main notes I pick up in curve crush. Kitten fur is a hair (a hair! Get it?) sweeter than crush and 80% dry powder to curve’s 98% I definitely like it better than crush, which somehow makes me a little nauseous and wish for more sweetness and moisture. Kitten fur has the balance I feel is missing from crush and it’s quite nice! Safe, gentle, sweet and powdery without being overwhelming, harsh or scratchy.

(sweet, powdery, musky) I know some of people say it does not smell like a kitty, but if you think about it, every cat smells different and every scent smells different on each persons skin. I had 4 cats in total and only my Luna has this beautiful sweet powdery musky smell, and I must say this cologne represent it on my skin very well! The only thing is that the scent is very strong so you only need a little bit of it. I personally like it as long as I don't put too much. It reminds me of my beloved Luna♡

not animalic like you would expect, but that's okay with me because i love a powdery scent. it still invokes that feeling of sniffing your cats fur (lol). almost a little spicy. reminiscent of almond extract .. i can kinda understand the baby wipe smell people are getting, but it's too musky and warm for that to immediately be what i get from this (personally). not nearly sterile enough to be a wet wipe. i just really love the way this smells on my skin! will be pairing it w/ my baby powder roll on :3

god i LOVE THIS! it drives me CRAZY. i can not stop smelling my clothes, pillow case, nightgown and skin, when i wear this. It's addictive (Beeswax from Demeter is my other addiction, and they smell nothing alike) I am just about to order another bottle. it reminds me of Love's Baby Soft, but this is more of a grown up fragrance

I dont know what this smells like, but I love it & unlike all the Demeter frags, it's lasts awhile on my skin, affordable & reminds me of Dream Angels Heavenly by Victoria Secret, HOWEVER, I think this is more wearable and less musky/sexy than Heavenly. This is very wearable all day, in a word "comforting"

not only do i love the smell but have great associations with it so will be saving a vial for the nursing home :p i think it’s nice on its own for bedtime or post shower but would layer it with something to soften it during the daytime. i have a personal soft spot for it tho (as soft as kitten fur hehe)

smells just like the fragrance they use on a pet's fur after it's been groomed...soapy, clean and powdery, but soft and cuddly — a light laundry smell. EDIT: after a week of owning this, it is literally just cleaning product smell. it’s genuinely just multipurpose countertop disinfectant spray

Lovely comforting smell. Not overly sweet! When sprayed on clothing, it lasts for days! Sillage is still not particularly strong, but it is more than intimate when worn this way. I would say the same goes for most demeter fragrance, but I think kitten fur is much stronger than others I own!!!

cinnamon, baby powder, white musk, shea butter...??? cocoa butter...? something. If you like choco musk it feels like a less thick or less 'sticky' smell than it but the end result is almost the same. it is somehow still a little feline when you squint in some odd way. cozy clean musk.
