Cashmere & Tiaré Flower

Donna Karan Cashmere & Tiare 2024 was a blind buy on the notes alone plus D.K's longevity in the fragrance world. Having always been a buyer of the more "clean" perfumes/oils, and use regularly, Rose & Lavender essential oil's I still will explore the perfumes sparking my interest per note's and integrity of the Perfumer etc; to find out which ones do not upset my chemistry does require research...in ingredients and overall reputation of maker/company...one must explore and try them out : ) On my skin the soft unlike suntan lotion vibe Tiare (thankfully) present beautifully as described above "solarly"...then the bit of lemon~ish with Bergamot introduce themselves minus "screech" this is pure yummy love with the woodiness thou subtle with Vetiver are so beautiful... Love the trail silage throughout the day as it "becomes with you"... This also blends like magic with Guerlain's "Petite Le Robe Noir" ( Rose & Cherry notes...) The hub's comments can't help but confirm my love as he states, "wow you always smell amazing but what is this one babe?!" Enough said : ~ ) *Bought through Nordstrom and have already purchased a back up bottle.

Out of the four in this line this one is the most decadent and intoxicating. The more tasteful between Cashmere Palo Santo. I am smelling from the foil samples and it doesn't get much better. Ashoka Flower is listed on the foil samples but not on here so I'm not sure what that smells like. This is a divine musky white floral done so photorealistic and sappy. The first two I tried: Wild Fig and Tunisian Neroli were a let down and lost their zest and floral freshness. This one doesn't compare but would layer criminally well with them. I'm not hit with the Bergamot or Lemon so profusely, nor woodiness. Creamy, silky, but not vanilla. Has lasting power for sure. It's a tad too indulgent for daily wear. Seductive like a gourmand young fragrance but you wouldn't assume it from the bottle. If anything, Palo Santo is stepping overboard to that cloying synthetic vanilla muchness. Tiare is pleasantly refined and gives a cheery welcome like Miss Dior. And allows enough room to breathe free of fruits and greenery. For a sultry jazz singer at a coastal resort.

This smells EXPENSIVE. The opening is quite tropical, but absolutely not like sunscreen. I’d worried it would be a bit redundant in my collection, and the opening does remind me a little bit of Gucci Bloom Profumo. But the dry down is different enough. Absolutely a classy, boss lady scent, with a layer of sexy, bare-skinned summer. I feel like I should be on a yacht; alas, only in my imagination! I got is at about 60% off retail, an absolute steal. The bottle is heavy, and the magnetic lid adds to the luxe feeling.

Absolutely lovely tiare dominant solar, beachy, airy, vacation in the bottle. If you're worried about citruses then don't...they are barely noticeable...pretty strong projection and sillage...aromatic and sweet...this will be a staple in my summer wardrobe...Love!

Very fresh scent but with some weight. It starts clean with citrus then comes the heavier flowers with some depth and a bit creaminess, smoothed out with a very light wood. Super feminine, i imagine this is what someone who has her shit together wears for work.
