The Cachemire

This smells incredibly authentic. I get a honeyed jasmine green tea with lemon. If you’ve tried other Maison Christian Dior fragrances you’ve probably experienced the similarity in many of the scents’ musky tart base. This also has that same tart quality. Very calming and relaxing. Completely inoffensive. I say it for many in the line but it’s true here too- it’d make a very good signature fragrance; which I think is what they’re going for especially regarding recent entries to this line. The projection is way stronger than I had thought it would be for a fresh tea fragrance and I love that about it. Nobody seems to compare this to Creed’s Silver Mountain Water and I know it’s been compared to death to other fragrances but this fragrance has some similarities to that too. It’s a musky tea fragrance with more emphasis put directly on the tea accord than in SMW. There’s lots of differences but they are in the same vein for sure. All in all one of my favorites that I’ve tried from this line. It deserves way more hype in the fragrance community but it’s fine by me if it’s a well kept secret since I’m selfish and want it all for myself!

I know tea fragrances aren't for everyone. But they are for me. I have worn and loved fragrances like Bvlgari Au the Blanc and Au the Bleu, Nishane Wulong Cha, and ET's Green Tea fragrance for years. There are probably some others in there I'm forgetting, but I love tea fragrances. Awhile back, I purchased some fragrances from Dior and they sent me a travel size of The Cachemire. I loved it at the time, but didn't pull the trigger for whatever reason. However, like an old lover, I couldn't stop thinking about it and finally picked up my phone to send a text... Which led to to a purchase on the Dior website! This fragrance is everything it should be - light, refreshing, clean, and perfect for warmer weather, especially, although I could see myself wearing it in the fall. It's comforting, and I love to spray myself with it before I wrap myself in a blanket, or when I'm just puttering around my apartment. I highly recommend this fragrance if you love tea scents, and if you like feeling refreshed :-)

For some reason I associate this smell with vacations my family took as a kid to the islands off of South Carolina. It reminds me of a clean condo with the windows open, wind blowing, and a view of the sandy beach and the smell of the ocean air. I smell the sand, I smell the seashells, I smell the vegetation by the beach entrance, but I also smell the nice soap the condo had. This has to be my most evocative scent that I own, and I own a lot of scents. I had to buy a full bottle as soon as I smelled it. Other than being evocative for me personally, it is a technically brilliant fragrance. It is perfect for either sex for any situation as long as there is warm weather involved. I don’t think smelling this in the fall or winter would be a particularly pleasant or noteworthy experience for most people

This is such an amazing and well-blended scent. The rose in here somehow smells like a fruit, but isn't too sweet or jammy. White tea and mate are blended nicely, and the musk gives it some depth and keeps it from being too green, but the musk isn't overpowering and isn't center stage. I think this light scent is unisex, truly unisex. And I call it light in the most complimentary way possible. Projection and sillage are great... I expected it to not perform as well as it did. was surprised that I could still smell this scent on my skin after 8 hour at work! It really is a beautiful scent. I haven't smelled anything like it. A favorite among the newly christened Maison Dior Collection.

Washed and dried linen, hanging in the breeze on a sunny day. It smells like the cool side of the pillow feels. Immediately bright, incredibly fresh, invigorating. A nuanced "green" scent of tea and white florals, balanced with clean musk and a subtle hint of smoke. Once it starts to dry down a bit, it has that almost-sweet grassy aroma you get from a freshly brewed cup of yerba mate (something light like Liebig Original). Another work of art by Demachy, this one unassuming at first, but like a painting with a foreground, subject and background, it invites you to take a closer look. It leans more female-unisex and is a situational wear, but a certain 10/10 nevertheless.
